Deep sand sits under a lot of this ground, and water moves through it fast until it hits a hard layer.

Materials for Lincoln Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on most of the properties here. Lincoln sits in flat, sandy country where the water table runs high, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs are common fixes for wet yards and wet footing areas.

Clean, single-size stone lets water pass; a material with fines in it will not.

Order by the ton or the yard, and match the size to the job.

For the base itself, GABC is the Delaware base material. Crusher run is the everyday trade name for the same work.

Both compact and hold under a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

For bedding, stone dust sets pavers, flagstone and brick, and fills the voids in a compacted base.

10 stone. Pair it with concrete sand for bedding under pavers and slabs.

Decorative work runs to river rock for beds and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, patios and play areas. For lawns and beds, topsoil finishes grade over sandy ground, and shredded mulch holds moisture through a hot, humid summer.

Ground and Conditions in Lincoln

The working season here runs close to year round. The real constraints are soft, wet ground in winter and early spring, and heavy summer thunderstorms that can leave a site too soft for a loaded truck.

Timing a delivery around those two windows matters more than the calendar.

Under most of this ground is deep sand from the Beaverdam Formation, with loamy silt caps on the better farmland and wet, poorly drained flats on old swamp ground. That sandy subsoil caves easily in an open excavation.

Water is the other factor. The water table sits high in flat sand, and a clay or hardpan layer under the sand can perch water after heavy rain even where the surface looks dry.

That is why a clean drainage layer matters on a base that has to stay firm.

Open sandy ground also erodes. Sheet and wind erosion are the main management concerns on bare fields, and banks cut along ditches after heavy rain.

Rip rap and large river rock armor those edges and outlet points.

Sussex County sets footings at a frost depth of 24 inches. That figure belongs to the county, and it is a footing depth rather than a base depth.
