Materials for Gilman Projects

Start with the base. Staymat is the Vermont yard word for a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, and it locks up tight under a roller.

That makes it the everyday choice for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crushed gravel is the spec surface course Vermont town road standards call for, and VTrans specifies it under 704.05.

Where you want a harder, more angular base than pit gravel, dense graded crushed stone is the spec name. It is graded from 3 inches down to fines.

Under all of it goes Bank Run Gravel. Bank run is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed, which is why town standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

For the running surface itself, Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base after mud season chews it up.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

For finer drainage and pipe bedding, use 3/8" Crushed Stone. For a tight topping over a compacted base, it works there too.

Drainage runs on Drain Rock: curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs. VTrans carries the same idea as Drainage Aggregate under 704.16.

Flatwork needs bedding, not base. Stone Dust is the New England default under pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and a dust-binding topping on paths.

Sand splits two ways. Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints, sandboxes and fine levelling.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork and mixes with cement.

Soil goes over stony till and heavy clay. Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil suits raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Before any of it, Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills away from a foundation. Around the edges, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a short growing season.

Ground and Conditions in Gilman

Water drives everything here. Snowpack lasts, the thaw runs long over ground still frozen underneath, and dense hardpan till holds water instead of letting it through.

That is why a drive built on this ground needs depth and a drainage layer before it needs a surface. Water that cannot get down has to go somewhere.

Spring runoff scours ditches and culverts on long gravel road grades across the Northeast Kingdom. Stream banks cut after heavy rain or a fast thaw.

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

The working season is the shortest in Vermont. Mud season runs late, the ground freezes early, and gravel roads carry the traffic in a region where much of the road network is unpaved.

Frost goes deep and comes out late. Footing depth is set by the town, so confirm it with the town office before you build anything that bears on the ground.
