Bulk Gravel Delivery to North Hero, VT

Vermont Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in North Hero, VT for driveways, parking pads and drainage work. Most of that work starts with staymat, the dense crushed base Vermont yards call by that name.

Down on the clay plain, ground stays wet long after the snow goes, so plan a drainage course along with your base. Order online and a truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in North Hero

Across the Champlain Valley the ground is heavy marine clay, silt and fine sand, with sand deltas and gravel terraces where rivers once came in. Clay drains slowly and holds water near the surface.

A thin base shows itself fast here. The material punches down into soft clay, ruts form under a loaded truck, and the running surface breaks apart through mud season.

Water sitting on flat ground is the other half of the problem. A drive needs a drainage course as much as it needs a base, and clean washed stone is what carries that water away.

Bare clay also washes. Sheet wash and gullying cut across exposed ground, streams scour their banks, and high water works at the Lake Champlain shoreline.

Work starts earlier in this part of the state than anywhere else in Vermont, but clay stays soft for weeks. Ground freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, and clay that holds water heaves a gravel drive more than sandy soil does.

Frost depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the North Hero town office before you plan any structure.

Materials for North Hero Projects

Fines and screenings carry a lot of the finishing work on paths and walkways here. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork.

It beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it binds into a firm surface on a garden path. Stone Dust packs tight where you want a walkable top.

For a path that wants a finer, looser surface, Walkway Gravel is sized for walking rather than driving. Pea stone, the Vermont word for Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas.

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, so it locks up tight under a roller.

Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course over a bank run subbase. Bank Run Gravel is screened pit gravel rather than crushed, which is why it goes underneath as subbase and bulk fill.

Drainage runs want clean washed stone. Drain Rock serves curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs, and 3/4 inch crushed stone does the same job around pipe and in drainage beds.

Where a stream bank or a steep ditch needs holding, stone fill (the Vermont word for riprap) lines the cut and armours culvert inlets and outlets.
