Materials for South Cairo Projects

Fill and base come first on most jobs here. You raise the grade, build the pad, then surface it. Order the bulk material before the finish stone, because nothing else can go down until the base is compacted and level.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise grade and fill low spots. It packs under a driveway, a shed pad or a garage slab. Follow it with Item 4, the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, for driveways, parking pads and patio bases. For a driveway that sees regular traffic, cap the Item 4 with Driveway Gravel as a wearing surface.

Drainage is the other half of the job. #57 Stone handles French drains, downspout runs and concrete aggregate. Drain Rock does the same work on foundation drains and drywells.

For finish work, Stone Dust beds pavers and flagstone, and Top Soil covers the lawn and beds once the ground work is done.

Ground and Conditions in South Cairo

Stony glacial till covers the hills, and ledge rock often sits close to the surface. On the valley floors along the Hudson and the Wallkill, silt and clay left by old glacial lakes drain slowly and stay wet after storms.

That changes how you build. An under-built base over clay pumps and shifts once the spring thaw hits, because the water has nowhere to go. Put the drainage layer in first, then compact the Item 4 in lifts so the material knuckles together.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Footings usually go about four feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Time the work around the season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay ground can stay soft well into spring.

Floodwater also scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against that runoff.
