Buy Driveway Gravel in Londonderry, VT

Vermont Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Londonderry, VT, with staymat leading the way. 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.

Thin, stony glacial till sits over schist and gneiss on the slopes across the Green Mountains, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. That ground shapes what you order for a drive, a pad or a shed base.

Materials for Londonderry Projects

Start with the base course. Staymat is the everyday Vermont word for road base, and it is what a driveway, parking pad or shed base is built from.

Crushed gravel, also called crushed gravel for subbase, is the top course over a bank run gravel subbase on town roads and long drives. Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and VTrans specifies it under 704.05.

Dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for a crushed stone base graded from 3 inches down to fines. Reach for it where you want a harder, more angular base than pit gravel gives you.

Under that base, Bank Run Gravel does the bulk work. Bank run is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed, which is why Vermont road 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 up the surface.

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

Vermont buys washed stone by the inch far more often than by a number.

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

For flatwork and beds, Stone Dust is the New England default. Screenings bed pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and they bind as a dust topping on paths.

Ground and Conditions in Londonderry

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

That same runoff scours banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain, the pattern that did the worst damage in the mountain towns in the August 2011 flooding. Stone fill lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

Vermont says stone fill rather than riprap, and VTrans grades it by type, with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches. Stone Fill also holds stream banks where the gradient is steep.

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.

Winters are long and get colder with elevation, with frost in the ground well into spring and hard frost heaving on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

On the valley floors, sand and gravel outwash left by meltwater gives you a different set of choices than the slopes do. A pad on outwash wants a compacted base that will not shift.
