Materials for Sumerduck Projects

Water is the problem on most Fauquier County lots. Clay takes in water slowly, so storm runoff has to go somewhere. Washed stone gives it a path. We organize the list coarsest to finest so you can match stone to the job.

Start coarse for volume and heavy flow. RipRap is for slope, ditch and culvert outlet armoring. #4 Crushed Stone handles trench bottoms and construction entrances. Then step down to the drainage sizes.

• #57 Stone: the workhorse for French drains, drywells and downspout runs at about 3/4 inch.
• #8 Crushed Stone: fine drainage, pipe bedding and porous backfill behind walls.
• Drain Rock: French drains, drywells and downspout lines in one clean size.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone: fine drainage, bedding and a tidy top dressing over compacted base.
• Screenings: paver bedding and fine leveling under flatwork, the finest material we sell.

Building a drive or pad instead? 21A is the standard Virginia base. 21B is the coarser, lower-fines option where you want the base to drain a little better.

Ground and Conditions in Sumerduck

Plan your delivery around the working season. Frozen or snow-covered ground in midwinter stops base and driveway work. So does saturated clay after a thaw or a long wet spell.

Freeze-thaw heave is real here. This part of Virginia runs colder than the rest of the east, with frequent swings above and below freezing and more snow than most of the state outside the mountains. Frost depth is set by each county or city, so check the local figure before you set base depth.

Soils are mostly clay-rich, weathered from Piedmont rock, with sandstone, siltstone and diabase ground in the Culpeper Basin. Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Bury your drainage stone deep enough, and keep fines out of the trench.

Bare clay also moves. Sediment washes off building sites and slopes, and stream banks scour after heavy storms. RipRap and large river rock armor those spots before the next round of rain.
