Materials for Greenwood Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most Greenwood jobs. The ground here is deep sand, so it needs a soil that holds moisture and a fill that builds grade before anything else goes down.

Top Soil is friable loam soil for lawns and finish grade. Spread it over sandy subgrade to give grass something to root into.

Garden Soil is the richer mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds grade before a base course goes down. Use it to bring a pad up to level, then cap it with the material the job calls for.

For the base layer, GABC is the Delaware name. It is graded aggregate base course, and Sussex County writes it into its own standards as Type B.

Use it under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. GABC compacts and holds.

Crusher Run is the everyday trade name for the same work.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Stone is Delaware No.

57 stone, a clean open stone for drainage beds, underdrains and concrete work. #8 Crushed Stone, Delaware No.

Sand beds the hardscape. Concrete Sand is washed sand for bedding under pavers and slabs.

Mason Sand is mortar sand for brick and block work and for play boxes.

Decorative stone finishes the yard. River Rock fills borders and dry creek beds.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, patios and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Greenwood

Start with water. Rain, snowmelt and heavy summer thunderstorms all land on flat sand, and the water has to go somewhere.

Across the Inland Sussex sand country, a very high water table sits under flat ground. Tax ditches carry most of the drainage.

A clay or hardpan layer under the sand can perch water after a heavy rain, even where the surface looks dry.

That changes material choice. A drainage bed of clean stone lets water move instead of sitting.

GABC compacts into a base that holds under a drive or a pad.

Deep sand also caves in an open excavation. Sandy subsoils fall in on themselves, so plan the dig before you start it.

Erosion runs the other way on open sandy fields. Sheet erosion and wind erosion move bare sand, and banks cut along ditches after heavy rain.

Topsoil and mulch cover bare ground and hold it.

The working season runs nearly year round here. Soft, wet ground in winter and early spring is the main constraint, along with summer storms.

Sussex County sets footings at a frost depth of 24 inches.
