New Cumberland sits in Hancock County, on ground that runs from river flats up into steep hillsides. That mix decides what your base and bedding layers need to do.

Ground and Conditions in New Cumberland

Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, the flats carry terrace sand, gravel and silt. Some of it is deep and drains freely.

The hillsides behind them are shale and sandstone, and the soil above is often thin and stony.

Old industrial fill sits under some river flats. On a thin base, that shows up fast as rutting and soft spots once the ground is wet.

Water comes at a site here from two directions. The river backs up onto the flats in high water.

Runoff off the hills moves down through town toward the river.

Terrace gravel sheds that water. The silt and clay above it and the hillside soils do not.

Build the base to carry the load over the soft layer underneath it.

Slides and slumps are common on the valley walls and on cut and fill ground. Bank scour during high water is the other constant on terrace edges.

The working season here is long, held up mainly by wet ground and high water in late winter and spring. Plan the base work around the wet stretch rather than through it.

Coldest weather lands in the Northern Panhandle, and heaving shows in thin drives through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm it locally.

Materials for New Cumberland Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a lot of local work starts. The bedding layer carries the pavers and spreads the load into the base below.

Get it wrong and the surface moves.

Start with Crusher Run, which local yards also call crush and run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Quarries here sell it by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, use Class 1 Base, the heavier base course. It goes under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and it is the layer to build up when the ground will not carry much.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. It gives a tighter surface than the coarse base and works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Say which Class 2 you mean when you order, because the term also names a riprap weight class.

For the bedding itself, Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Yards here sell them as screenings or stone dust under several names.

Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand is the finer sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Drainage runs under and around flatwork use clean stone. #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is the small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, used in paver joints and as a dressing over a compacted base.
