Item 4 carries the weight. Order it for driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases.
Crusher run does the same job where you want a binding, compacting mix. Many New York yards treat the two as one kind of material. Below it, the supporting grades cover drainage, bedding and finish work.
Choosing the Right Material
Match the material to the job. Item 4 and crusher run build the base. Stone dust beds pavers. #2 stone and #57 stone drain. RipRap armors banks. Mason sand and washed sand bed and level. Topsoil and garden soil finish beds.
- Driveway base: item 4 or crusher run.
- Driveway surface: driveway gravel over compacted item 4.
- Walkway: walkway gravel, Natural Pea Gravel or #1 stone.
- Drainage: #2 stone, #57 stone or drain rock.

Orange County and Putnam County sit in the same Hudson Valley ground zone, with stony glacial till on the hills and silt, clay and sand on the valley floors. The ground is similar to Rockland County, so the base and drainage choices stay close. The difference is the project mix: more open lots and longer rural drives next door, tighter village lots and steeper slopes here.
Ground Conditions Across Rockland County
Watch for the same failure first: a thin base that pumps, ruts and shifts after a wet spring. Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands, where ledge rock is often close to the surface. Valley floors along the Hudson carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, and that ground drains slowly and stays wet after storms.
The fix is a compacted item 4 base with a clean drainage layer under or beside it. Use #2 stone, #57 stone or drain rock where water collects. Clay and silt ground needs a deeper, well-compacted base, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings; the local building department sets the exact depth.
Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams, and tides and ice wear the shoreline of the tidal Hudson south of Troy. Arm those banks with RipRap. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, so plan wet clay ground for later in spring.
