Decorative stone beds need 2 to 3 inches of depth over fabric, while driveways and drainage trenches want 4 to 6 inches to handle Jamestown's freeze and thaw cycles and heavy spring runoff. Deeper is better anywhere vehicles drive or water concentrates.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Try Our CalculatorMeasure your area in feet and pick a depth, generally 2 inches for decorative beds and 4 or more for driveways and drainage. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by roughly 1.4 to convert to tons. Round up, because coming up short on a Jamestown stone project usually means paying a second delivery fee.
Add geotextile fabric to keep stone separated from silt loam, and pick up edging or boulders to define the border so material stays contained during Jamestown's heavy rains.
Service area
Choose angular over rounded for anything functional. Jamestown's freeze and thaw cycles, which run heavy at 1,380 feet with over a hundred cycles some winters, work rounded river rock loose and spread it across the lawn. Angular crushed stone interlocks and stays in place through the winter. Save the smooth river rock for decorative dry creek beds and drainage areas where you actually want water to move freely through the voids.
Extend your downspouts into a stone splash bed rather than letting them dump on grass. A Jamestown roof sheds thousands of gallons a year given our 52 inches of rainfall, and concentrated discharge onto silt loam carves channels and saturates the foundation zone. A 3 foot by 3 foot bed of 1 to 2 inch stone over fabric, sloped away from the house, spreads and slows that flow. It is one of the cheapest basement protection measures available.
Compact in lifts, not all at once. When building a Jamestown driveway or parking pad, spread stone in 3 to 4 inch layers and run a plate compactor over each before adding the next. Silt loam subgrade does not offer much support, so the strength has to come from a properly compacted stone base. Skipping this step is why so many local gravel drives develop ruts and potholes within a single winter.
Stone earns its keep in Jamestown because water is the constant here, 52 inches of it a year plus snowmelt draining off 1,380 foot terrain. Silt loam sheds and puddles rather than absorbing, so gravel beds, dry creek channels, and drainage trenches give that water somewhere to go instead of into a basement. Stone also solves the mud problem that plagues Jamestown driveways and side yards through the long shoulder seasons of March, April, and November. Unlike mulch, it does not decompose in our damp climate, so a properly installed stone bed lasts decades with only an occasional top off. For homeowners tired of replacing washed out material every spring, stone is the permanent answer.
