Materials for Worcester Projects

Most jobs here start with grade and sub-base. Low spots, soft ground and new building pads all need fill and a compacting base before anything goes on top.

For raising grade or backfill, start with Fill Dirt. It fills low spots and brings a pad up to level before a base or topsoil goes down.

For driveways, parking pads and shed bases, use Item 4. It compacts hard and binds, and it is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Many yards sell it as crusher run, so Crusher Run works the same way here. Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

For drainage, order Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, or #57 Stone for drains and concrete aggregate.

For patio and paver bedding, use Stone Dust, the New York name for screenings. For a finer path surface, Walkway Gravel goes down walkable and stays put.

Ground and Conditions in Worcester

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills. 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 near the surface, softens the subgrade, and the stone above it moves. Put down enough compacted Item 4 and the load spreads instead of pumping.

Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches during flash floods. Bare soil on steep slopes washes out quickly. RipRap armors those spots against runoff and ice.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring.

Winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out of the ground. Local footings usually go about 4 feet down, with the exact depth set by the local building department.
