Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Craftsbury, VT

Vermont Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Craftsbury, VT, by the ton or by the yard. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base Vermont yards sell for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Across the Northeast Kingdom, stony glacial till sits over granite and schist, with ledge close to the surface on the hills. That ground shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Craftsbury Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection here. Runoff scours ditches and culverts on long gravel grades, so the stone that lines them has to be big enough to stay put.

Stone Fill is the Vermont word for riprap, and it is what you line a steep ditch or a culvert inlet with. VTrans grades it by type, with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches.

Use it where water moves fast and the bank keeps cutting.

#4 Crushed Stone is angular and open, which suits trench bottoms in soft ground and heavy drainage. Railroad Ballast goes coarser still for severe drainage and heavy hardstanding.

For dry creek beds and splash pads, Large River Rock carries roof and drive runoff without washing out. River Rock works the same way at a smaller size for decorative beds and borders.

Below the coarse work, Bank Run Gravel is gravel screened from a pit or bank rather than crushed. It is subbase and bulk fill, and Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

On top of that subbase, Staymat locks up tight under a roller. Town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for the same idea.

Finer materials finish the job. Stone Dust beds pavers and flagstone and tops paths.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds and pipe surround, and Drain Rock covers curtain drains, footing drains and dry wells.

Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony till and heavy clay. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before the gravel goes on.

Delivery to Craftsbury and the Surrounding Area

Craftsbury sits in Orleans County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area, including Derby, Newport, Barton, Troy and Irasburg. You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, and you pick your delivery date at checkout.

Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile. Have the spot clear and reachable before the truck gets there, and keep the pile where you want it to sit.

Ground and Conditions in Craftsbury

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

Across the region, snowpack lasts and the thaw runs long over ground that is still frozen underneath. Dense hardpan till holds water rather than letting it through, so drainage matters as much as surface material.

Frost goes deep and comes out late in the coldest corner of the state. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the Craftsbury town office.

That timing shapes a delivery. Book your date at checkout for a window when the ground will take a truck, and plan your drainage stone before the spring runoff starts moving.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Craftsbury

What stone should I use for drainage in Craftsbury?

It depends on where the water goes. For a curtain drain, footing drain or dry well, Drain Rock and 3/4" Crushed Stone are the usual choices.

For a steep ditch, swale or culvert inlet, use Stone Fill, which VTrans grades by type with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches. #4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms in soft ground.

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 the ground you choose is where the material stays.

Order by the ton or the yard, pick your delivery date at checkout, and make sure the route in is passable for a loaded truck. Mud season and a late thaw can both affect access.
