Materials for Slaterville Springs Projects

Landscaping work here leans on decorative rock and ground cover, and the right stone depends on what the surface has to do. These are the materials most landscape projects around Slaterville Springs call for.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, for walkways, play areas and drainage.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over the stony glacial soils in these hills.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings, holding moisture through the summer.

A dry creek bed is a common answer to a wet spot on a slope. Large river rock does the heavy work at the bottom, and smaller river rock or pea stone finishes the surface.

Choosing by project

For a driveway, start with item 4 as the compacting base and top it with Driveway Gravel. For a patio or paver area, bed the stone on Stone Dust, the local name for screenings.

For drainage, Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs. RipRap armors culvert outlets and stream banks against fast water.

Ground and Conditions in Slaterville Springs

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills here. Many upland soils also have a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. That layer is why a thin base fails and a deeper one holds.

Heavy rain runs quickly off steep hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise fast and flash flooding is a recurring hazard. On flatter uplands, the dense subsoil keeps water sitting near the surface after rain and snowmelt.

Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches, and bare soil on steep slopes washes out quickly. Riprap and large river rock at those points take the energy out of the flow.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out of the ground in spring, which is why base work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring.
