#57 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Smithville Flats, NY

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Smithville Flats, NY, New York Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and drops it where you need it. Around here the ground is stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone, and a lot of it drains slowly. That shapes what you order. Most jobs start with item 4 for a compacting base, then a washed stone on top for drainage.

Materials for Smithville Flats Projects

Water is the thing to plan around on this ground. Heavy rain runs off the hillsides fast, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs do the heavy lifting. That means washed stone first, sized to the job.

Coarsest first: #4 crushed stone is heavy drainage stone for trench bottoms and construction entrances. Railroad Ballast goes in where drainage has to be severe, such as hard standing and track beds.

Then the mid sizes. #57 Stone is the workhorse for French drains, drywells and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as #2 stone here, suits drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. Drain Rock covers foundation drains and downspout runs.

Finer washed stone finishes the job. 3/8" Crushed Stone, or #1 stone, beds pipe and tops a compacted base on walkways. #89 Crushed Stone fills paver joints and tight bedding.

For the base under all of it, Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and Crusher Run does the same work where a binding material is wanted. On top, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive.

Ground and Conditions in Smithville Flats

Base and driveway 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 well into spring.

The long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out of the ground. That is why a compacted item 4 base matters, and why a washed stone drainage layer earns its place on wet lots.

Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches during flash floods, so RipRap armors those spots against runoff and ice. On flatter uplands, dense subsoil holds water near the surface after rain and snowmelt, so plan drainage before you surface anything.

Start with item 4, the standard New York compacting subbase stone, because the local silty till can heave as frost comes out of the ground in spring.
