Materials for Pleasant Valley Projects

Decorative rock and drainage stone carry most yards here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want stone that holds its color and moves water.

For a dry creek bed, use River Rock in the run and Large River Rock on the banks and turns. Larger stone stays put when the water runs hard. Line the trench with RipRap where the bed meets a culvert or a slope.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, sold as pea stone, covers walkways and play areas. It drains fast and stays walkable. For beds and tree rings, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through the summer.

Every job still starts on a base. Item 4 is the New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads and patio bases. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface. For paver and flagstone bedding, order Stone Dust, also called screenings.

For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. #57 Stone works well in a French drain or as concrete aggregate. Local yards grade stone fill as light, medium or heavy, and RipRap covers that work on banks and ditches.

Ground and Conditions in Pleasant Valley

Start with the soil. Stony glacial till covers the hills here, and ledge rock often sits close to the surface. On the valley floors, old glacial lakes left silt, clay and sand.

That clay drains slowly and stays wet after storms. An under-built base on clay will pump and rut under a truck. Compact item 4 in lifts, and crown the surface so water runs off instead of sitting.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and silt and clay soils on valley floors 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, so schedule around it. Wet clay can stay soft well into spring.

Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. RipRap armors those banks against the next high water.
