Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Saugerties, NY

What should you order when a bank keeps washing out or a swale will not dry? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Saugerties, NY, New York Rock Supply stocks the coarse stone that holds a slope. Item 4, rip rap and #2 stone go where water moves. Stony glacial till covers the hills here and ledge rock often sits close to the surface.

Materials for Saugerties Projects

Start with the biggest stone and work down. Coarse material locks together and stays put under runoff, while finer grades pack flat for bedding and joints above it.

RipRap is the first call for stream bank, culvert outlet and slope armoring. Floodwater scours banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams, and rip rap absorbs that push. Order RipRap for banks and ditches.

#4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. It is a large, open-graded stone that lets water fall straight through. #4 Crushed Stone is a strong pick under a wet access point.

#2 stone is the New York name for 3/4 inch crushed stone. Use it for drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. Order 3/4" Crushed Stone when the trench is deeper than a French drain.

Drain rock and #57 stone are your French drain, drywell, foundation drain and downspout choices. Drain Rock and #57 Stone both flow well and stay open around a perforated pipe.

For the drive, base and driveway topping, Item 4 compacts into a firm subbase and Driveway Gravel finishes the surface. Crusher run does the same job where you want more binding fines, and many New York yards sell the two as one kind of material. See Crusher Run.

Delivery to Saugerties and the Surrounding Area

Order online and size the load by the ton or the yard. The calculator on each product page turns your area and depth into a quantity, so you are not guessing at the counter. When you check out, pick the delivery date that fits your schedule and the site.

A dump truck brings the material to your driveway, pad or job site and tips it where you point. Say where you want the pile before the truck rolls, because a loaded truck cannot move it later. Saugerties sits in Ulster County, and delivery also covers Kingston, New Paltz, Highland, Ellenville and Marlboro.

Ground and Conditions in Saugerties

Timing matters as much as material. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction and wet clay valley ground can stay soft into spring. If your site is on a valley floor, wait for it to firm up before you spread Item 4.

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, and the local building department sets the exact depth. That matters for anything you pour, not for the gravel itself.

Water is the other half of the job. Spring snowmelt, ice jams and heavy rain raise the Hudson, the Wallkill and their tributaries, and clay and silt drain slowly and stay wet after storms. Coarse stone in a swale, a bank or a trench bottom moves that water away instead of holding it.
