Materials for Kenyon Projects

Decorative stone does a lot of the finish work on Kenyon yards, from bed cover to dry creek beds that carry runoff away from a house.

River Rock is rounded stone sold in the 1 to 2 inch range. It covers decorative beds, borders and drip edges, and it reads well against the grey granite this part of the state is built on.

Large River Rock runs 3 to 4 inch and holds a dry creek bed where a smaller stone would wash out. Use it where runoff needs slowing before it reaches a lawn or a foundation.

Pea Stone is the small rounded stone Rhode Island yards sell for walkways, play areas and drainage backfill. It packs into a walkable surface without the sharp edges of crushed stone.

For ground cover under beds and around shrubs, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through the summer and keeps heavy rain from washing bed edges out.

When a project needs a compacted base rather than a finish surface, processed gravel is the material to order. It comes in 3/4 processed for residential drives, patio bases and walkway sub-bases, and in 1 1/2 inch processed for deeper drive bases and ground that has to carry heavy equipment.

Ground and Conditions in Kenyon

Deep glacial outwash sand and gravel runs across the South County outwash plain and coastal ponds, and Kenyon sits on that belt. Sandy ground drains freely and compacts differently from the till the rest of the state sits on.

Outwash sand takes water fast, which is good news for a base and bad news for bedding. A base laid on loose sand can lose its bedding, so the subgrade has to be shaped and firmed before anything goes on top.

Free draining sand heaves less than till through freeze and thaw. The spring problem on this ground is usually a base that has washed or spread, not one that has lifted.

The working season here opens early on free draining sand. Late summer into October is the tropical season, and summer on the shore is when access and staging get awkward.

Erosion along this coast comes from storm waves and runoff, with bank scour on the rivers after heavy rain. RipRap armors shoreline banks, salt pond edges and culvert outlets against that, sold in the 4 to 10 inch range and heavier again as armor stone.
