Materials for Owls Head Projects

Coarse stone holds slopes, swales and banks. Size decides where each one works. We stock the full range from heavy armor down to bedding sand, so you can match the stone to the water it has to handle.

Rip rap is the armor. Line a washed bank, a culvert outlet or a shoreline edge with it and the stone takes the wave and ice energy instead of the soil.

Behind the armor, drainage stone moves water. #4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and construction entrances, where you want open voids and no fines. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Stone covers drainage and concrete aggregate, and some New York yards sell this size range as a #1 and #2 blend.

Then come the finer sizes. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Stone Dust, also called screenings, beds pavers and flagstone. Mason Sand fills paver joints and works for brick and block.

For decorative work, River Rock fills beds and borders, and Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. Top Soil and Garden Soil finish lawns and raised beds over the stony ground.

Ground and Conditions in Owls Head

Time your delivery to the working season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and flat clay ground can stay wet and soft well into spring.

The soil here is silt and clay left by old glacial lakes, mixed with very stony till in the drumlin hills and sandy deposits in places. Limestone sits near the surface in spots. Clay drains slowly, so water stands after rain and soft clay banks along the rivers erode easily.

That shapes the material choice. Put coarse, open-graded stone where water collects, and armor any bank that takes runoff, waves or ice. Long, very cold winters bring hard freezing and thawing, and these clay and silt soils are prone to severe frost heave and turn soft and weak when wet.
