Start with the material your project actually needs. Then let the calculator turn your measurements into a quantity.

Ground and Conditions in Port Ewen

A thin base shows itself fast on Port Ewen flatwork. Pavers rock, joints open, and edges sink after a wet spring. The cause is usually the bedding layer, not the pavers.

Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands around town, and ledge rock often sits close to the surface. On the valley floor, silt and clay hold water long after rain. Spring snowmelt and heavy coastal storms raise the Hudson and its tributaries, and clay ground stays soft into spring.

That is why a patio here needs a compacted base and a bedding layer that drains. Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and silt and clay soils on valley floors are prone to frost heave. Frost depth usually runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Time the work around the season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

Materials for Port Ewen Projects

Bedding decides how a patio performs. Stone dust, also called screenings, is the usual New York bedding under pavers, flagstone and patio slabs. It compacts tight, holds a screeded plane, and locks joints. Order Stone Dust for the bedding layer and keep it dry before you screed.

Under the bedding goes the structural base. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it carries driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Order Item 4 and compact it in lifts before any bedding goes down. Crusher run does the same job where you want a binding material, and many New York yards treat the two as the same kind of stone. Rubble is another upstate name for crusher run under driveways and slabs.

Sand handles the finer bedding work. Mason sand beds brick and block, fills paver joints, and doubles as play sand. Washed sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs. Gravel sand blends coarse sand and fine gravel for leveling and bedding.

Drainage and finish materials round out a patio. #2 stone, also called 3/4 inch crushed stone, handles drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, suits walkways, play areas and drainage. River rock and large river rock build decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
