Start with base rock. It is what every drive here is built on, and it is what the rest of the load hangs off.

Materials for Rush Hill Projects

Base rock leads almost every job here. It is the state base material, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Crushed from limestone with fines left in, it compacts tight and locks together. Order it for the build, then surface over it.

Layer the drive, then dress it. These are the materials for common Rush Hill projects:

• Base Rock: the structural course under any drive, pad or lane.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing an existing drive or topping compacted base rock, also sold locally as road rock.
• Crusher Run: base and drives that need a binding material with fines.
• #57 Limestone: 1 inch clean, washed with no fines, for drainage, French drains and septic fields.
• Screenings: fine crushed stone for paver, flagstone and patio bedding.

Washed stone does a different job than base. Clean rock has no fines, so water runs through it instead of packing down. Use 1 inch clean for drainage, 3/4 inch clean for drive surfacing and construction entrances, and 3/8 inch clean for pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a site. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand sets brick and block, and topsoil builds up lawns over tight clay. River rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish beds and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Rush Hill

Water is the driver here. Silty loess sits over glacial clay till, and the subsoil below is dense and slow to drain. Rain perches on that clay and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring.

That changes how you build a drive. Base rock has to go down over fill dirt that has been shaped to shed water, not over a low spot that holds it. Get the grade moving water off the surface first, then compact the base in lifts.

Runoff is the other problem. It cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. Arm culvert outlets and creek banks with rip rap before the next high water.

Timing matters too. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring. Base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze.

Delivery to Rush Hill and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you point it. Have the route in and the drop spot cleared before the truck rolls. A firm, level pad keeps the load where you want it and the truck out of soft ground.

Pick your quantity by the ton or yard when you order. Use the calculator to size the load, choose a delivery date at checkout, and place the order online. No back and forth needed.
