Materials for Irvington Projects

On Irvington ground, a path holds up only as well as the layers beneath it. Screenings and fine stone give you a surface that locks up and stays walkable. Build the base first, then finish.

Screenings, also called stone dust, are the go-to bedding for pavers and flagstone. They level fine and pack tight, so joints stay put instead of shifting underfoot.

Walkway gravel tops a compacted base with a finer, friendlier surface. Good for garden paths and side entries where you want a clean look that still drains.

For the base itself, 21A is the standard Virginia choice. It carries enough fines to compact into a hard, stable layer, which is exactly what a paver path needs. Where you want a coarser mix that drains better but packs less tightly, use 21B.

Drainage matters just as much. Drain rock handles French drains, downspout runs and the backfill behind walls. #8 crushed stone works for pipe bedding and paver joints where the stone has to be small.

Decorative beds and dry creek beds take river rock. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas where a rounded surface is wanted.

Ground and Conditions in Irvington

A thin base fails first. Sand, silt and clay laid down as old sea and river sediment sit under this whole zone, so a path with a thin skim of stone and no real base ruts, dips and pumps within a season.

The fix is depth and compaction. Dig out, put down 21A, wet it and compact in lifts. That gives you a hard pan the screenings can sit on without working loose.

Flat, low ground gives water nowhere to run. Tropical storms, nor'easters and summer thunderstorms pond on drives and pads. Near the Bay and tidal creeks, high tides and storm tides add standing water on top of that.

So build drainage into the plan. A drain rock layer, a crowned surface and a ditch that actually carries water away beat any surface material alone. Runoff also carries loose sandy soil off bare ground and ditch banks, so stabilize edges early.

Freezes here are short and freeze-thaw is lighter than inland, so work runs through most of the winter. Long wet spells and the late-summer to fall storm season are what hold jobs up, especially on low lots that hold water.

Delivery to Irvington and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Tons measure weight. Yards measure volume. Which one you need depends on the material and how the load is sold, so check the product before you order.

Estimate first. Length times width times depth gives you cubic feet, then you convert. Go a little deeper than the finished number, because stone compacts down. Our calculator on the product pages does the math for you.

Bulk delivery drops the load where the truck can reach. Tell us about a soft drive, a tight turn or an overhead line before the day, and mark the spot you want the pile.

We deliver across Lancaster County, including Kilmarnock, White Stone, Weems and Lancaster.

Questions from Irvington Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the driver can reach it without crossing soft ground. Mark the pile location so stone does not land on a lawn or a septic field. If your drive is narrow, sloped or has low branches and wires, say so when you order. Have a tarp or poly ready if you want to cover the pile before a storm.

What is the best base under pavers in Irvington?

Use 21A compacted in lifts, then bed the pavers in screenings. Screenings give you the fine, level layer pavers sit on. Skip the base and the path dips, no matter how good the surface stone looks.
