Ground and Conditions in Wilmington

Across the Piedmont and the Fall Line, loamy soil sits over deeply weathered saprolite and hard crystalline rock. Rock lies close to the surface on the ridges, and stony silt loam covers the slopes.

That ground sheds water fast. Soil shallow to rock sends runoff into the stream valleys, and built-up ground around Wilmington adds to the flow.

A thin base fails first here. Water reaches the subgrade, the stone shifts, and the surface ruts under a wheel.

The fix is a base course with enough fines to bind and compact. GABC does that work, and crusher run does the same job under its trade name.

Stream bank scour and washouts follow heavy rain where cover is thin. Runoff also cuts into slopes above the valleys.

Base, driveway and paver work runs most of the year. Frozen ground in January and February is the main stop, and spring rain the main delay.

New Castle County sets the deepest footing depth in Delaware because repeated freeze and thaw lifts gravel drives and shallow footings. Frost depth: 32 inches.
