This corner of the Northeast Kingdom runs on stony glacial till over granite and schist. Ledge sits close on the hills.

Your drive or pad sits on ground that shifts under load.

Ground and Conditions in North Troy

Across the Northeast Kingdom, the ground holds water instead of letting it through. Dense hardpan till sits under a long thaw over ground that is still frozen underneath.

A thin base on ground like that fails at the edge first. The running surface pumps, ruts fill with water, and the whole drive works loose through mud season.

Fix it with the right base and real depth. Staymat is the local name 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.

That is the everyday Vermont word for road base.

Crushed gravel and dense graded crushed stone are the spec words behind it. Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and VTrans specifies dense graded stone under 704.05.

Frost goes deep here and comes out late, with the longest frozen season in the state. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the North Troy town office.

The working window is short. Mud season runs late and the ground freezes early, so plan the gravel work around it.

Materials for North Troy Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine finish work on paths and walkways. They bind underfoot and lock flat pieces into place.

Stone Dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork. It beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it tops a path with a dust-binding surface.

Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface than drive gravel. For a looser decorative finish, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and dry wells.

Vermont says pea stone more often than Natural Pea Gravel.

Under the walkway, start with Staymat, a dense graded crushed base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Bank Run Gravel handles subbase and bulk fill.

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.

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

3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage beds, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Questions About Stone Dust and Base Work

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot so the truck can back in and tip without obstruction. Mark overhead wires, low branches and anything fragile near the pile area.

The load comes off in one pile, so give it room to spread. Loose ground, soft shoulders and tight turns slow the truck, so check the approach while the ground is still firm.

What is the best base under pavers in North Troy?

Staymat, the dense graded crushed base, then stone dust as bedding. Staymat runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust and locks up tight under a roller.

Stone dust, also called screenings, beds the pavers flat. On stony till and hardpan, that layered base keeps the pavers from shifting through the freeze and thaw.
