Materials for Northfield Projects

Much of the work here starts below the finished surface. Raising grade, building a pad, or filling a low spot means fill and sub-base first, then the base course on top.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills away from a foundation before any gravel goes on. Bank Run Gravel is screened pit gravel rather than crushed stone, and it works as subbase and bulk fill under a thinner crushed top course.

For a driveway, staymat is the base and Driveway Gravel is the running surface that takes the wear after mud season. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base for drives, parking pads and shed bases.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints.

For a drain, Drain Rock serves curtain drains, footing drains and dry wells, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed stone for drainage beds and pipe surround.

Ground and Conditions in Northfield

Across the Green Mountains the ground runs to thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss on the slopes, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. Valley floors carry sand and gravel outwash instead.

That mix matters before you pour anything. An under-built base over till or ledge moves, so the fill and sub-base work has to be right before the staymat goes down.

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.

Steep-gradient streams scour banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain. Stone Fill lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets, and Type I runs about 1 inch to 12 inches.

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.

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

Questions from Northfield Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Northfield?

Staymat is the dense graded crushed base that pavers sit on, and it locks up tight under a roller. Stone Dust is the bedding layer directly under the pavers, bluestone and flagstone.

On stony till, get the fill and sub-base right first, because a base over soft ground will not hold.
