Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Castleton, VT

Vermont Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Castleton, VT, from staymat for the driveway to washed stone for the drain. Heavy rain moves fast off the slopes onto the valley floor here, and that runoff has to go somewhere.

Coarse stone gives it a path. Line the ditch, arm the culvert, hold the bank, and the water leaves without taking your ground with it.

Materials for Castleton Projects

Start coarse. Stone fill, also called Type I stone fill, is the Vermont word for riprap, graded by type with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches.

Use it to line steep ditches, armour culvert inlets and outlets, and hold stream banks.

Railroad ballast goes coarser still. It is angular stone for track beds, heavy hardstanding and severe drainage where water has to move through the pile.

Below that, #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms in soft ground. 3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

For finer work, Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone and binds the surface of a path. Top Soil, sold screened as loam, covers stony till and heavy clay for lawns and bed prep.

Staymat is the everyday Vermont word for a dense graded crushed base, running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust so it locks up tight under a roller. It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Under it, Bank Run Gravel is gravel screened from a pit or bank rather than crushed. It works as subbase and bulk fill, and Vermont road standards ask for it under a thinner crushed top course.

Ground and Conditions in Castleton

The valley floor dries early and gives one of the longer working seasons in Vermont. The hill towns on either side stay soft several weeks longer through mud season.

Across the Taconics and the Valley of Vermont, thin stony till sits over slate, phyllite and shale bedrock, with till, outwash and marble and limestone bedrock along the valley floor. Slate fragments pack tight and drain slowly.

Runoff comes off the slopes fast after heavy rain and cuts gullies in slate-fragment fill. Where hillside drainage crosses a road, washouts follow.

Coarse stone in the swale and at the culvert mouth keeps that water moving.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw and reliable frost heaving in gravel drives each spring. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

Questions from Castleton Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Castleton?

Match the stone to the water. Drain Rock and 3/4" Crushed Stone handle curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone work in drainage trenches and French drains. Stone Fill lines steep ditches and arms culvert inlets and outlets where the flow is heavy.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one place, so pick ground that can take the weight and leave room for the truck to get in and out.
