Materials for West Stockholm Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection drives most material choices here. Coarse, open stone sheds runoff instead of trapping it, and ice does less damage to a free-draining face. Start with the biggest stone and work down in size.

Coarse stone for banks and swales

RipRap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, slopes and shorelines against waves, ice and high water. New York yards also grade this kind of stone as light, medium or heavy stone fill for ditch and bank work.

Railroad Ballast handles hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where water has to leave fast.

Drainage stone

Drain Rock goes into French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. Sizes range from #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage and trench bottoms to #57 Stone for French drains and concrete aggregate.

Base and driveways

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, used under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Top a compacted Item 4 base with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

Ground and Conditions in West Stockholm

This is St. Lawrence and Champlain valley ground: low plains of silt and clay left by old glacial lakes and an ancient arm of the sea, mixed with very stony till in the drumlin hills. Limestone sits near the surface in places.

That clay drains slowly. Water stands after rain, and spring snowmelt swells rivers and streams. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario adds to the pack on the side nearest the lake.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and flat clay ground can stay soft well into spring. Build the drainage layer to suit the season you are working in.

Winters here are long and cold, with hard freezing and thawing. The clay and silt soils are prone to severe frost heave and turn soft and weak when wet. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Questions About Stone in West Stockholm

What stone should I use for drainage in West Stockholm?

Match the stone to the water. Drain Rock, #57 Stone and #4 Crushed Stone all work in French drains, drywells and foundation drains. For slope, bank or shoreline work against waves and ice, use RipRap. On soft clay plains, an open-graded layer lets water move instead of standing.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear route and a firm, level spot to dump. Mark any septic covers, sprinkler heads or soft edges you want avoided. Know where you want the pile placed, because the driver tips the load in one spot. Loose or saturated clay ground can stop a loaded truck, so plan the approach before delivery day.
