Materials for Union Springs Projects

Water is the job here. Ground around the lake sits flat and slow to drain, so a lot of work goes into slope, swale and bank protection. That means coarse stone, and it starts at the top of the size range.

Riprap is the heaviest thing we haul, and it is what you use to armor a creek bank, a culvert outlet or a washed slope against runoff and ice. Below that, #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms where you want big open voids that shed water fast.

For stone fill work. Railroad Ballast is the coarse option for hard standing and severe drainage where nothing finer will hold.

#57 Stone is the size most crews reach for on a French drain, and it also works as concrete aggregate. Some yards sell this range as a #1 and #2 blend, which is the same idea. Drain Rock covers drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Working down to the fine end, Stone Dust is what you bed pavers and flagstone on. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it firms up under a driveway, parking pad or shed base.

Ground and Conditions in Union Springs

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft well into spring. Time a delivery for when you can actually work the material.

Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack in belts south and east of the lakes. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay, so plan drainage before you plan the surface.

The ground is silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlins, old beach ridges and stony till rising toward the southern hills. Swampy muck fills some low areas. Cold winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and those lake-bed soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Waves, ice and high water wear bluffs and beaches along Lake Ontario, and creeks scour their banks during snowmelt and heavy rain. That is where heavy stone earns its keep.
