3/4 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Belmont, VT

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Belmont, VT, Vermont Rock Supply sells it in bulk by the ton. Start with staymat if you are rebuilding a drive, then pick your stone sizes from there.

Each product page has a calculator so you can size the load before you order. Belmont sits up in Rutland County, and the ground here has its own ideas about where water goes.

Materials for Belmont Projects

Water is the job in this town. Roof runoff, spring melt and steady rain all have to leave the site, and washed stone is what moves it out.

Washed stone is screened clean, so the voids between the particles stay open and water passes through instead of sitting. That is what a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run is built from.

Drainage Stone and Washed Sizes

Use 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround. It is the size Vermont yards sell by the inch, and it is the workhorse for a French drain trench.

Drain Rock covers the same ground on footing drains, drywells and downspout runs. VTrans carries drainage aggregate as its own item, so the term is specified locally.

For finer drainage and pipe bedding, drop to 3/8" Crushed Stone. It packs tighter around a pipe than the bigger washed sizes do.

Numbered sizes show up less often here than inch sizes, but #57 Stone is a standard drainage trench and French drain material, and it works as concrete aggregate too. #67 Stone runs slightly smaller for the same kind of work.

Base, Bedding and Finishing Materials

Staymat is the everyday Vermont word for a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch down to dust. It locks up tight under a roller and it is what goes under drives, parking pads and shed bases.

Underneath that, Bank Run Gravel is gravel screened rather than crushed. Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course, which is why it works as subbase and bulk fill.

Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and binds a path surface. Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony ground.

Delivery to Belmont and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile on site.

Vermont Rock Supply delivers across Belmont and Rutland County, including Rutland, Castleton, Brandon, Poultney and Pittsford. If your site is in one of those towns, the same ordering process applies.

Bulk delivery means the truck has to reach the pile location. A driveway with room to turn and a firm surface makes the drop straightforward, and the load goes where the truck can safely tip it.

Size the order with the calculator on the product page before you check out. That keeps the tonnage in line with the job instead of guessing at it.

Ground and Conditions in Belmont

The working season is short here. Mud season arrives later and lasts longer up high, and the ground freezes again sooner, so base and paver work gets squeezed into late spring through early fall.

Across the Green Mountains, soils are thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. Sand and gravel outwash sits on the valley floors.

Rain and snowmelt run off shallow soils fast, so brooks rise quickly. A drive on a grade sheds water down its own surface unless the crown and the ditch line are right.

Steep-gradient streams scour banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain. That is the pattern that did the worst damage in the mountain towns in the August 2011 flooding.

Stone fill is the Vermont word for riprap, and VTrans grades it by type, with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches. It lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

Frost goes well into spring, and hard frost heaving shows up on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

Yes. Vermont Rock Supply delivers staymat in bulk to Belmont and the surrounding part of Rutland County.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Belmont?

Staymat is the standard choice, because it locks up tight under a roller and holds a running surface. If you are resurfacing after mud season, driveway gravel tops a compacted base.
