Item 4 is the base most Putnam Valley drives are built on, and it is the material crews here ask for first.

Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands around town, and ledge rock sits close to the surface. That shallow ground is why a strong, compacting subbase matters on nearly every driveway and parking pad here.

Materials for Putnam Valley Projects

Start with the base. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. It locks up under a driveway, a parking pad, a patio base or a shed pad. Local yards sell crusher run as the same kind of material, and some contractors call it rubble.

Top the base with driveway gravel to surface an existing drive or dress a compacted Item 4 layer. For paths, walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface that stays put underfoot.

Washed stone handles water. #2 stone goes into drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. Drain rock feeds French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

• Stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and finishes fine pathways.
• Mason sand sets brick and block, fills paver joints and works as play sand.
• Screened topsoil preps lawns and beds over the stony ground here.
• River rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Putnam Valley

Water drives the work here. Spring snowmelt, ice jams and heavy rain from coastal storms and tropical systems raise the Hudson and its tributaries. Clay and silt on the valley floors drain slowly and stay wet for days after a storm.

That wet ground decides how a base gets built. A compacted Item 4 layer sheds water and keeps a drive from rutting. Where the ground stays soft, #2 stone or drain rock moves water away from the subbase instead of trapping it.

Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against that runoff, and stone fill graded as light, medium or heavy stabilizes banks and ditches.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. The silt and clay soils on the valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Frost depth usually runs 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, because frozen ground stops compaction and wet clay ground can stay soft into spring.
