Materials for Laurel Projects

Start with the fill and sub-base when you are raising grade or building a pad. Low, wet ground needs the grade brought up before anything compacted goes on top.

Fill Dirt does that work in bulk. Bury the bad ground under clean fill, then build on it.

For the base itself, order GABC.

It compacts and holds under a drive, a parking pad or a shed.

Crusher Run is the everyday trade name for the same job. Use it for lanes, drives and base layers that need a binding, compacting stone.

Under pavers, bed the units in Stone Dust.

10 stone. It fills the voids in a compacted base and levels the bedding.

Where water has to move, order clean stone. #57 Stone is Delaware No.

57 stone, and it goes in drainage beds, underdrains and drive surfacing. Drain Rock covers French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs, though many yards here call for #57 for the same work.

Finish the surface with Driveway Gravel on a long rural lane, or Walkway Gravel where you want a finer, walkable path.

Ground and Conditions in Laurel

Deep sand sits under most of this ground, with wet flats and old swamp ground near the headwaters. Sandy subsoils cave easily in an open excavation, so plan the dig before you start it.

The water table runs high across the Inland Sussex sand country, and the ground is flat. Tax ditches carry most of the drainage.

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

Sheet erosion and wind erosion move open sandy ground, and banks cut along ditches after heavy rain. A drive built without enough base over that sand will rut and pump.

Bring the grade up with fill, then compact a real base over it.

The working season runs nearly year round here. Soft, wet ground in winter and early spring slows the work, and heavy summer thunderstorms do the same.

Frost reaches 24 inches in Sussex County, and the shallow freeze and thaw still works gravel drives and paver joints. Sussex County sets footings at that southern depth.

What is the best base under pavers in Laurel?
