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

Vermont Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fairfax, VT, by the ton. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base a Vermont drive, parking pad or shed base is built on.

This part of the Champlain Valley sits on heavy marine clay, so water moves slowly and a drive needs drainage as much as it needs stone.

Materials for Fairfax Projects

Washed stone is the drainage side of the job. In Fairfax, French drains, drywells and downspout runs all depend on clean stone that lets water pass instead of holding it.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed size for drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround. It stays open, so water reaches the pipe or the pit instead of sitting in the trench.

Drain Rock covers the same ground at a range of sizes, for curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are numbered drainage sizes used for French drains and concrete aggregate.

At the finer end, 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pipe and tops a compacted base. #89 Crushed Stone is small washed stone for tight bedding and joint fill.

For the drive itself, Staymat is the local name for a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, and it locks up under a roller. Bank Run Gravel is screened pit gravel rather than crushed, and it goes in as subbase and bulk fill.

Where a base has to be harder and more angular than pit gravel, dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for stone graded from 3 inches down to fines. Stone Dust is the New England default under pavers and flagstone.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Vermont yards call pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs and dry wells.

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

Ground and Conditions in Fairfax

Work starts earlier in the Champlain Valley than anywhere else in Vermont because the valley dries first. The clay still stays soft for weeks through mud season and will rut under a loaded truck.

Clay drains slowly and stays wet, and flat ground keeps water sitting on the surface through snowmelt and after summer storms. That makes a drainage course as important as the base on a Fairfax drive.

Bare clay also washes and gullies, and streams cut into the clay plain. Stone Fill, which Vermont calls riprap and VTrans grades by type, lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

Winters here run the mildest in the state, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly. Clay that holds water heaves a gravel drive more than sandy soil does.

Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the Fairfax town office.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Fairfax?

Staymat is the dense graded crushed base that a Fairfax drive is built on, running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust. Under it, bank run gravel works as subbase and bulk fill.

On clay ground, a washed stone drainage layer matters as much as the base. Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive after mud season.
