Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Huntington, VT online. Vermont Rock Supply sells by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load where you need it.

Start with staymat for a drive, then finish paths with stone dust. Ground on the slopes here is thin, stony till, so what you put down matters.

Ground and Conditions in Huntington

Thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss covers the slopes in this part of the state. Boulders and ledge sit close to the surface, and sand and gravel outwash fills the valley floors.

A base laid thin over that ground shows it fast. The surface ruts, the edges break away, and the stone works loose under tires.

Rain and snowmelt run off steep, shallow soils quickly. Brooks rise fast, and a drive on a grade sheds water down its own surface unless the crown and the ditch line are right.

Steep-gradient streams scour banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain. That pattern did the worst damage in the mountain towns in the August 2011 flooding.

The working season is short. Mud season arrives later and lasts longer up high, and the ground freezes again sooner, so base and paver work is squeezed into late spring through early fall.

Frost sits in the ground well into spring, and hard frost heaving works on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

Materials for Huntington Projects

Fines and screenings carry paths and walkways here. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork and the dust-binding topping that firms up a path surface.

Bed pavers, bluestone and flagstone on Stone Dust. It packs tight and holds a level line under a walkway.

For a walkable garden path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface than drive gravel. Pea stone, which Vermont yards also call Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas at 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel.

Staymat is the everyday Vermont word for road base. It is 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.

Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed bases at Staymat.

Under that, bank run gravel is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed. Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

See Bank Run Gravel.

Where drainage matters, washed stone by the inch is the Vermont habit. 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround.

For bedding under pavers, Washed Sand levels and holds flatwork.

Lawns and bed prep over stony till want Top Soil, screened loam that Vermont landscapers buy by that name. Raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy take Garden Soil.

Delivery to Huntington and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material in one pile on site. Huntington sits in Chittenden County, and delivery covers Burlington, South Burlington, Colchester, Essex Junction and Milton.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk loads need room to tip and a firm surface under the wheels.

Questions About Ordering in Huntington

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the surface under it is firm enough for a loaded truck. Mark nothing for the driver, since the load is tipped in one pile.

Keep cars, toys and equipment out of the way, and leave room for the truck to reach the spot and pull out again.

What is the best base under pavers in Huntington?

Stone dust is the New England default under pavers, bluestone and flagstone. It is a fines-bearing material that beds flatwork and packs tight, so it holds a level line under a walkway or patio.

Screened loam is not a base, and clean washed stone will not lock up under a paver.
