FAQs

Modified (e.g., 2A Modified) — Includes "fines" or stone dust. When compacted, the dust fills the gaps between the larger rocks, creating a surface that hardens almost like concrete. Ideal for bases and driveways.

Clean (e.g., #57 or #67) — Washed or screened to remove dust. This allows water to flow through the stone freely, making it the only choice for drainage projects, French drains, and septic systems.

We accommodate both. Customers with capable trucks or trailers are welcome to visit our quarry for a load-up. For larger projects, Wilber Trucking LLC provides professional delivery throughout Hallstead, Great Bend, and the surrounding Susquehanna County area.

Stone is extremely heavy. A standard pickup truck can typically only handle about ½ to 1 ton safely. For larger quantities, we utilize:

• Single Axle Dump Trucks — Ideal for residential driveways and tighter spaces.
• Tri-Axle Trucks — Best for large-scale construction sites and heavy haul roads.

Our drivers will attempt to "tailgate" spread the stone on driveways or dump it in a specific pile as requested. However, placement is subject to overhead hazards (power lines, low branches) and ground conditions (soft mud or steep slopes). The driver has the final say on whether a drop location is safe for the equipment.

Yes. A. Wilber Stone, Inc. operates portable stone crushing plants. If you have a large-scale project requiring a specific aggregate gradation not listed on our standard product menu, please contact us to discuss custom processing.

For a long-lasting driveway, we recommend a two-step process:

1. The Base: Use 3's or 4 to 8 Minus for a solid foundation, especially if the ground is soft.
2. The Top: 2A Modified provides a hard, packable surface, while #57s or #67s offer a cleaner look with better drainage.

Rip-Rap (our R-Rock series) is used primarily for erosion control. If you have a creek bank, a steep slope, or a drainage ditch where water moves quickly, these large stones "armour" the soil and prevent washouts.
