Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Morrisville, VT

Vermont Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Morrisville, VT, from staymat by the ton to washed stone, sand and screened loam.

If your drive sits on the thin, stony till that covers the slopes around here, the base course is the part that decides how the rest of it holds up.

Materials for Morrisville Projects

Staymat is the everyday Vermont 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. It is what a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base gets built on.

Staymat handles the base and the running surface both. Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and VTrans specifies the same idea under 704.05.

Dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for a base graded from 3 inches down to fines, cut from crushed stone rather than pit gravel. It gives a harder, more angular base where the ground is soft or the grade is steep.

Bank run gravel is screened, not crushed. It is the bulk subbase and fill material, and Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

Washed stone goes where water has to move. 3/4 inch crushed stone is the size Vermont buys by the inch for drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason sand beds brick and block work and paver joints, while screened loam and garden soil build lawns and raised beds over heavy clay.

Ground and Conditions in Morrisville

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

That is the pattern that scoured banks, ditches and culvert outlets in the mountain towns during the August 2011 flooding. Steep-gradient streams do the damage, so armouring matters.

Stone fill is the Vermont word for riprap, and VTrans grades it by type. Type I runs about 1 inch to 12 inches and lines steep ditches, culvert inlets and outlets, and stream banks.

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

Frost sits in the ground well into spring and heaves gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the Morrisville town office before you build.
