Paving in Prospect: what the ground here does
Ledge. Frost moves the slab every spring on the high lots. Not Cheshire’s red till lowland and not Waterbury pavement. Above the reservoir the base can be a few inches of stone over wet sand on rock.
Clark Hill Road is the one we tell. They called for sealer. Greg opened a hole and found three inches of stone over wet sand and ledge. No coat fixes that. They watched the hole instead of taking our word for it. What fails here is spring heave on ledge and one flexing block, and you see it when the frost comes out. We stopped quoting patches on some of the high lots because the frost moves them every year. That is not a Cheshire quote.
We have worked near Clark Hill Road and across the rest of Prospect.
