Materials for Albany Projects

Raising grade and building pads come first on a lot with any slope or soft spot. Fill dirt, also called common fill, lifts the grade and shapes the ground away from a foundation before any gravel goes on.

Bank run gravel, also called pit gravel or gravel borrow, is screened rather than crushed, so it goes down as subbase and bulk fill under a thinner crushed top course. Order Fill Dirt for grade and Bank Run Gravel for the subbase.

On top of that subbase, staymat is the compacted base for drives and pads. Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for a crushed stone base graded from 3 inches down to fines.

Both point to the same product: Staymat.

For a drain, a curtain drain or a dry well, 3/4 inch crushed stone is the washed stone for the job, and Drain Rock covers footing drains and downspout runs. Stone fill, the Vermont word for riprap, lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

Under flatwork, stone dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone. For lawns over stony till and heavy clay, screened loam is the landscaper's word for topsoil, and garden soil suits raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Ground and Conditions in Albany

Across the Northeast Kingdom the ground runs to stony glacial till over granite and schist, with ledge near the surface on the hills. Basins hold peat and wet organic ground.

That till is dense and holds water rather than letting it through. An under-built base over it moves and pumps once the thaw starts, so the subbase has to be there before the staymat goes on.

This is the shortest build window in Vermont. Mud season runs late, the ground freezes early, and a large share of the road network here is unpaved.

Spring runoff scours ditches and culverts on long gravel road grades, and stream banks cut after heavy rain or a fast thaw. Stone fill on those banks and at culvert ends holds the ground in place.

Frost goes deep and comes out late in this corner of the state. Footing depth is set by the town, so confirm it with the town office.

Questions Albany Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in Albany?

Stone dust is the New England default bedding under pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it goes over a compacted staymat base. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base that carries the load, and stone dust levels the surface the pavers sit on.
