Materials for Russell Projects

Landscaping here means working with water. Decorative rock, beds and dry creek beds all do double duty, holding a slope or carrying runoff while they look finished.

Start with river rock for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Round stone moves water without locking up, so it suits a channel that runs each spring.

Where the channel is heavier or the bank is steep, step up to large river rock. Same rounded shape, more weight against high water and ice.

For a softer surface, Natural Pea Gravel works on walkways, play areas and drainage strips. New York yards also call it pea stone.

Beds and tree rings want shredded mulch, which holds moisture through the summer. Around a patio, garden soil feeds raised beds and planting areas.

Set the hard surfaces on a real base. item 4 compacts into the standard New York subbase for driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Top it with driveway gravel for the wearing surface, or stone dust for paver and flagstone bedding.

Where you need drainage instead of a surface, drain rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Russell

This is the St. Lawrence and Champlain valleys ground zone. Low plains of silt and clay were left by old glacial lakes and an ancient arm of the sea. Drumlin hills carry very stony till, with sandy beach and delta deposits and limestone near the surface in places.

That mix decides how a base performs. Clay and silt soils are prone to severe frost heave and turn soft and weak when wet, so an under-built base fails early. Compact item 4 in lifts and keep the drainage layer working.

Timing matters as much as material. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and flat clay ground can stay wet and soft well into spring.

Shorelines along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River take waves, ice and high water, and soft clay banks erode easily. rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario adds to the snowpack on the side nearest the lake.

Long, very cold winters bring hard freezing and thawing. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, with the exact depth set by the local building department.
