Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The truck tips the load where it can reach safely, so a driveway or pad that is open and firm makes the delivery straightforward.

Materials for Petroleum Projects

Most of the work around here starts with what you want the ground to look like when it is finished. Decorative rock, bed material and dry creek beds are the projects that shape the order, and the base under them is what keeps the finished surface where you put it.

For a dry creek bed or a swale bottom, Large River Rock gives you the bigger rounded stone those features are built from. River Rock works the same way at a smaller scale for borders and bed edges.

Beds and borders take Shredded Mulch, which knits together and stays put on a slope better than nuggets. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and patio infill where you want a small rounded stone underfoot.

For a driveway, Crusher Run is the local base and drive material. 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.

Where the ground is soft or you are building over old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier course. It goes down under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs before anything finer sits on top.

Drainage runs and downspout beds want clean stone. #57 Limestone is the washed one inch stone used for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and #8 Limestone is the small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Petroleum

The ground across the North central plateau and western hills is rolling to steep hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. The slopes carry acid stony residuum and the hollows collect colluvium, so the soil you build on changes fast over a short distance.

That soil holds water. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job around here, because saturated ground cannot be compacted while it is wet.

Work runs from spring into late fall for that reason.

Water also arrives fast off the hills into narrow bottoms, and spring rain and snowmelt on clay-rich soil keep the lower ground soft. An under-built base shows it first, which is why the heavier course goes down before the finer one.

Erosion is a real consideration on the steeper ground. Slopes over about 14 degrees are where most of the sliding in this region happens, and creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest.

Riprap armours banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure that applies where you are building.
