Materials for Glover Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the job that comes before everything else on a Northeast Kingdom lot. The material you put under the finished surface decides whether the surface holds.

For raising grade before a pad or a slab, start with Fill Dirt. It builds up ground away from a foundation and shapes the site so the gravel has something to sit on.

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

That top course is Staymat, the dense graded crushed base that runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust. It locks up tight under a roller and it is what Vermont yards call road base.

Where a harder, more angular base than pit gravel is wanted, 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, curtain drains and mud-season hardstanding.

Once the base is compacted, the surface and edge materials come next:

• Driveway Gravel: resurfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base after mud season chews up the running surface.
• Stone Dust: bedding under pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and a dust-binding topping on paths.
• Top Soil: screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony till and heavy clay.

Ground and Conditions in Glover

Across the Northeast Kingdom, the ground is stony glacial till over granite and schist, with ledge near the surface on the hills and wet organic ground in the basins. Hardpan till holds water instead of letting it through.

That is why an under-built base fails here. Snowpack lasts, the thaw runs long over ground that is still frozen underneath, and water sits in the base instead of draining away.

Spring runoff scours ditches and culverts on long gravel road grades in this part of the state. If a ditch on your property runs steep, line it with Stone Fill, the Vermont word for riprap, and armor the culvert inlet and outlet.

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

Frost goes deep and comes out late across the Northeast Kingdom, and footing depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the town office before you pour.
