Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Grafton, VT

Materials for Grafton Projects

Wet ground around a house is a drainage problem before it is a gravel problem. Water off a roof, off a slope or out of a hillside has to be collected and carried somewhere it can spread out and soak away.

Washed stone does that work. It is clean, so voids stay open and water moves through instead of stacking up behind the stone.

Drainage stone

Drain Rock is the general drainage stone for curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs. It is angular, so it holds a trench open while water drops to the pipe.

3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone sold by the inch, which is how Vermont buys it. It suits drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and hardstanding through mud season.

#57 Stone is a numbered size for drainage trenches and French drains. Numbered sizes are ordered less often here than inch sizes, so it helps to know the number when you want it.

Bases and surfaces

Staymat is 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.

Bank Run Gravel is gravel screened from a pit or bank rather than crushed. It works as subbase and bulk fill under a thinner crushed top course.

Stone Dust is the New England default bedding under pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it makes a dust-binding topping on paths.

Decorative and soil

River Rock is round stone for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds that carry roof and drive runoff.

Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony till and heavy clay.

Delivery to Grafton and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile.

Grafton sits in Windham County, and delivery covers the town and the wider area. That includes Brattleboro, Westminster, Bellows Falls, Putney and Wilmington.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The driver tips the load where the truck can reach, so a driveway that is soft or blocked will change what is possible that day.

Ground and Conditions in Grafton

Across the Connecticut River Valley, the ground runs from sand, silt and gravel river terraces to glacial lake silt and clay in the flats. Stony till covers the hills that rise straight off the valley floor.

That mix matters for drainage. Sandy terraces drain fast, while the silt and clay flats hold water and stay soft well into spring.

The valley towns get one of the longer working seasons in Vermont, opening earlier in spring and holding later into fall than the hill towns a few miles west. That gives you more room to time a delivery around mud season.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost still heaves drives, walks and road shoulders every spring. The valley floor runs milder than the hills behind it.

Footing depth is set by the town. Confirm it with the Grafton town office, and expect a deeper figure on the hills than on the valley floor.

Tributaries coming off the hills drop onto the valley floor quickly after heavy rain. Where a hillside tributary crosses a road, that is where washouts happen, so culvert inlets and outlets want Stone Fill armouring them.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Grafton?

Staymat is the dense graded crushed base that builds a driveway, running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust so it locks up tight under a roller. Bank run gravel works as subbase and bulk fill beneath it.

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