Staymat is the Vermont word for a dense graded crushed base, and it is the everyday starting point for a drive, a parking pad or a shed base here.

Materials for Jericho Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots in town. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills away from a foundation before any gravel goes on.

Screened loam is the Vermont landscaper's word for topsoil, and it goes down screened over the stony till and heavy clay that sit under much of this ground. Garden soil is a raised bed mix for beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Under the soil, staymat builds the compacted base. It runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, so it locks up tight under a roller.

Drainage needs clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing base. 3/4 inch crushed stone is the washed size Vermont buys by the inch, and it works for curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

Fine drainage and pipe bedding take a smaller washed stone. 3/8" Crushed Stone tops a compacted base tightly, and pea stone covers walkways, dog runs and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Jericho

Across the Champlain Valley, the ground is heavy marine clay, silt and fine sand left when the Champlain Sea flooded the lowland. Clay drains slowly and stays wet.

Flat ground and a high water table keep water sitting on the surface through snowmelt and after summer storms. A drive here needs a drainage course as much as it needs a base.

Expect sheet wash and gullying on bare clay, and bank scour where streams cut into the clay plain. Stone fill, the Vermont word for riprap, lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

Work starts earlier here 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, so time your haul.

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

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