Woodstock sits in Ulster County, where stony, silty glacial till covers most hills and valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt. That ground drains unevenly, so the right fines and stone matter more than the volume you spread.

Ground and Conditions in Woodstock

A thin base shows itself fast here. Paths rut, pavers rock, and edges slump after a wet spring.

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills. Many upland soils also hold a dense subsoil layer that keeps water near the surface. On flatter ground, that water sits after rain and snowmelt. On steep hillsides, heavy rain runs off fast into narrow valleys, and creeks rise quickly.

Frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring, so plan base work from spring thaw into late fall.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out of the ground. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Materials for Woodstock Projects

Paths and walkways live on fines and screenings. Build the load-bearing layer first, then set the surface material that stays walkable underfoot.

Use item 4 as the compacting subbase under driveways, parking pads and patio or shed bases. It is the standard New York name for subbase stone, and it locks up when you compact it in lifts. Many yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, and both bind and compact well under a drive.

Stone dust, also called screenings or stone screenings, is the usual New York bedding for pavers, flagstone and patio work. It packs tight and gives a fine pathway surface. For walkways and garden paths that need a finer, walkable finish, walkway gravel lays down clean over a compacted base.

Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, suits walkways, play areas and drainage. River rock and large river rock handle decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. For drainage work, #2 stone, also called nys #2 stone, covers septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, while #57 stone handles French drains and concrete aggregate.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Mason sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Screened topsoil and garden soil rebuild beds over this stony ground, and shredded mulch holds moisture through summer.

Delivery to Woodstock and the Surrounding Area

Choose tons or yards at checkout, whichever you already work in. Size the load with the calculator before you order, since the two units are not the same measure. The calculator turns your dimensions into a quantity you can hand to the driver.

A dump truck delivers to your site and drops the load where you point. Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. Bulk delivery runs across Woodstock and the rest of Ulster County, including Kingston, New Paltz, Highland, Ellenville and Saugerties.

Order online, pick a delivery date, and the material shows up ready to spread. Paths, pads and drainage all start with the right base, and the right base starts with an accurate quantity.

Questions from Woodstock Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. Keep cars, tools and kids out of the way, and mark anything low you do not want clipped. Point the driver to the exact pile location, and have a tarp or cover ready if rain is coming. Bulk loads spread out fast once the bed lifts, so decide the spot before the truck backs in.

What is the best base under pavers in Woodstock?

Item 4 compacted in lifts, then a bedding layer of stone dust. The item 4 carries the load and ties the ground together, and the stone dust gives you a fine, level bed for setting pavers. This ground holds water in places, so the compacted base has to shed it rather than trap it. Build the base first, then bed on the screenings.
