#2 Stone Delivery for Palisades, NY

New York Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Palisades, NY for contractors and homeowners. Item 4 is the base stone most jobs here start with. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. In Palisades, most of that work starts as a grade problem before it becomes a stone problem.

This is Hudson Valley ground. Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands, and ledge rock is often close to the surface.

Materials for Palisades Projects

Most work in Palisades is fill and sub-base work: raising grade and building up a pad that will carry something heavy. Item 4 does that job. It compacts hard, binds together and locks in place under a driveway, a shed or a parking pad. In New York, many yards treat item 4 and crusher run as the same kind of material, so check which one your job calls for.

Before any of that stone goes down, the grade has to be right. Fill Dirt raises low spots and backfills. It is the first load for a pad that sits too low, and it goes in before a base or topsoil.

For a driveway, start with Item 4 and top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface you actually drive on. For a patio, set bedding on Stone Dust and use Washed Sand where you are leveling under slabs. For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

New York yards sell 3/4 inch crushed stone as #2 Stone. It is the size for drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. If you are topping a compacted base or bedding a pipe, #1 Stone is the finer cut.

Ground and Conditions in Palisades

The soil here decides how a base performs. Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands, where ledge rock is often close to the surface. That shallow rock is good news for a pad, but it makes grading and drainage planning matter more.

Valley floors along the Hudson carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes. Clay and silt drain slowly and stay wet after storms. A base built over wet clay without drainage moves and settles, no matter how well it was compacted.

Spring snowmelt, ice jams and heavy rain raise the Hudson and its tributaries. Floodwater scours stream and river banks, so RipRap and stone fill armor banks, culvert outlets and slopes. Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay ground can stay soft into spring. Plan the heavy loads for the dry stretch.
