Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in New Haven, VT

Water is the problem on most lots around here, so gravel and aggregate delivery in New Haven, VT starts with the drainage stone that moves it. Vermont Rock Supply delivers staymat, washed stone, sand and soil across Addison County.

Across the Champlain Valley the clay plain drains slowly and stays wet. Flat ground and a high water table keep water sitting on the surface through snowmelt and after summer storms.

That is why a drive here needs a drainage course under it, not just a base on top.

Materials for New Haven Projects

Start with the open, washed stone that carries water away. Work from there into the finer material that beds and binds.

• Drain Rock for curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for drywells, walkways, dog runs and play areas.
• #57 Stone for drainage trenches and French drains.

#57 stone is a numbered size, and numbered sizes are specified less often in Vermont than inch sizes. It still does the same work in a French drain or a trench.

Down at the fine end, Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and binds the surface of a path. It is the New England default under flatwork.

Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and fine levelling. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork and mixes with cement.

For the drive or pad itself, Staymat is the Vermont yard word for 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.

Ground and Conditions in New Haven

Work starts earlier here than anywhere else in Vermont because the valley dries first. The clay stays soft for weeks through mud season and will rut under a loaded truck.

Time a delivery for ground that will hold a truck. Soft clay and a rutted surface mean the load waits, or the stone goes down as fill instead of base.

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, so the drainage course matters as much as the base.

Sheet wash and gullying cut into bare clay, streams scour their banks, and shoreline takes wave action at high water. Stone fill lines steep ditches and holds culvert inlets and outlets.

Frost depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the New Haven town office.
