Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pittsford, NY

New York Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pittsford, NY for two kinds of buyers. Contractors order item 4 and washed stone for driveways and drainage, and homeowners order the same material by the ton for a single project. Both groups work on the same slow-draining clay ground that runs through Monroe County.

This is a market where the base you put down decides how the surface holds up. Item 4 is the starting point for most work here, and the rest of the order usually follows from it.

Materials for Pittsford Projects

Driveway and base work leads everything in Pittsford. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what goes under a drive, a parking pad, a patio or a shed. It binds and locks when you compact it, and it carries the load so the surface above stays flat.

For a drive that is already based, you have a choice. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted item 4 base. Crusher Run is the other option, and many New York yards treat it and item 4 as the same kind of material. If you want a finer, walkable surface for paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel is the right pick.

Water is the other half of the order. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold around here as #2 stone, goes in drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. Stone Dust, also called screenings, beds pavers and flagstone and packs tight under a patio. RipRap armors a bank or a culvert outlet where runoff is cutting in.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs, and Top Soil preps a lawn or bed over the stony ground here.

Ground and Conditions in Pittsford

Start with where the water goes. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy pack in the belts south and east of the lakes, and spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay ground. That standing water is what pushes a base out of shape.

The ground itself is silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlins, old beach ridges and stony till rising toward the southern hills. Swampy muck fills some low spots. On clay, a drainage layer under the base does more for a drive than extra thickness on top.

Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, because frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck arrives. The driver needs a clear, firm place to back in and dump, with room to raise the bed and no wires overhead. Loose or soft ground at the gate is the usual delay on a bulk drop.
