Materials for Warwick Projects

Much of the work here starts with raising grade or building a pad, because so many lots sit on old fill that settled unevenly. Get that layer right and the finished surface lasts.

For filling low spots and backfilling foundations, order Fill Dirt. It brings a yard up to grade where nothing finished goes on top.

For the compacted layer under a drive or pad, order Processed Gravel, which yards here call process. The 3/4 processed size suits residential drives, patio bases and walkway sub-bases.

Where a drive has to carry heavy equipment, the coarser 1 1/2 inch processed size goes in deeper. For bulk fill and the first compacted lift, Bank Run Gravel is unprocessed pit sand and gravel, dug and screened rather than crushed.

Under pavers and flagstone, Stone Dust is the bedding layer. For a drain, Drain Rock is washed stone for French drains, drywells and foundation perimeter drains.

Ground and Conditions in Warwick

The Narragansett Bay lowland and metropolitan Providence ground is glacial till with pockets of valley sand and gravel over sandstone, shale and conglomerate. A lot of it is made ground, and dig depth is unpredictable lot to lot.

Old fill, buried slab and ledge all turn up in the same neighborhood, so an under-built base shows up fast. Tight lots with a high paved fraction shed water onto whatever sits next to them, and made ground settles unevenly and holds it.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the thaw in March through late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in midwinter. Frost depth is 40 inches by state code, and the town building official sets footing depth.

Questions About Warwick Orders

What is the best base under pavers in Warwick?

Processed gravel, sold here as process, is the compacted base under paver patios and walkways. The 3/4 processed size is the one yards stock for residential flatwork.

Stone dust beds the pavers on top of that base. Get the base layer right and the pavers stay flat through the freeze and thaw cycles this part of the state sees each winter.
