Materials for Unadilla Projects

Start with the landscape. Beds, borders and dry creek beds take decorative stone that looks good and moves water. Then build the hard surfaces under them with a compacting base.

Decorative rock and ground cover

Use River Rock for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock suits heavier dry creek beds and erosion work where water runs hard.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, covers walkways, play areas and drainage strips. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the summer.

Driveways, patios and drains

For a patio, set bedding on stone dust over a compacted base, then finish the joints with Mason Sand or Washed Sand.

Ground and Conditions in Unadilla

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

That dense layer is why an under-built base fails. Water sits, the subgrade softens, and a thin layer of stone pumps and rutts. Build the base thick enough to bridge the soft spot, then compact it in lifts.

Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches during flash floods. Bare soil on steep slopes washes out quickly in heavy rain. RipRap and large river rock armor those spots against runoff and ice.

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 into spring.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out of the ground in spring. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings. The local building department sets the exact depth.
