Materials for Sherman Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. Raise a low pad, build up a building site or firm up soft ground, and the first loads are fill.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base or topsoil goes down. On stony glacial ground, that lift comes first.

Item 4 is the compacting subbase for drives, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Spread it, wet it, compact it in lifts. It locks up hard and carries load.

Crusher Run works the same way where a binding base is wanted. Many New York yards sell it and Item 4 as the same kind of stone.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted Item 4 base. It takes tire wear and sheds water.

Top Soil finishes lawns and beds after the base work is done.

For a patio, set bedding over a compacted base. Stone Dust is the usual New York bedding sand for pavers and flagstone. For a drain, washed stone moves water instead of holding it.

Ground and Conditions in Sherman

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of these hills. Much of the upland carries a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. Valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt.

That subsoil is why an under-built base fails early. Water sits in the fines, frost works the material, and the surface rutts. Dig out the soft layer, bring in fill to raise grade, then compact Item 4 in lifts over it.

Frost matters here. Long cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out in spring. Footings usually go about 4 feet down; the local building department sets the exact depth.

On steep ground, bare soil washes out fast in heavy rain. Stone fill and rip rap armor slopes, banks and ditch lines. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and back roads stay soft into spring.
