Materials for New Lexington Projects

Around New Lexington, most of what leaves the truck is landscape material: rock for beds, paths, dry creek beds and ground cover. River rock and large river rock set the tone in a bed or a dry creek bed, and Natural Pea Gravel works for walkways and around play areas.

What to order for the job

• 304 Aggregate Base, the 304 limestone that goes under a drive, parking pad or shed.
• 411 Stone, the 411 limestone topping that packs tight over a 304 base.
• Screenings for paver and patio bedding, leveling and firm path surfaces.
• RipRap for ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges that take runoff.
• Drain Rock for French drains, downspout runs and foundation drains.

Decorative rock for beds and dry creek beds

River rock and large river rock are the workhorses for decorative beds, borders, walkways and dry creek beds. Large river rock handles heavier erosion work where a creek bed carries water. Natural Pea Gravel covers play areas, dog runs and walkways, and it is small and rounded, so it stays easy underfoot.

For a patio, the layers matter. Screenings bed the pavers, and a compacted 304 limestone base sits under that. Topsoil and garden soil handle lawn and bed prep, and shredded mulch holds moisture through summer heat.

Ground and Conditions in New Lexington

Start with the soil, because it decides how much base you need. This part of Perry County is unglaciated hill country: thin to moderately deep soils over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts and the low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, which is why an under-built base on a slope gives way. Landslides and slumps on clayey slope debris and soft red shale show up after heavy or prolonged rain, and stream banks in the narrow valleys scour.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Timing counts too. Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The season runs from spring into late fall.
