Start with staymat, the Vermont yard word for a dense graded crushed base. It goes down under drives, parking pads and shed bases all over Bennington County.

Materials for Peru Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most Peru jobs. That means screened loam, garden soil and fill dirt before any stone shows up.

Screened loam is the Vermont word for topsoil, and landscapers here buy it screened. Spread it over stony till and heavy clay for lawns and bed prep.

Top Soil comes screened and ready to shape.

Garden soil, often called raised bed mix, goes where screened loam alone sits too heavy. Use it in raised beds and planting areas that need to drain.

Garden Soil blends for exactly that.

Fill dirt, or common fill, raises grade and backfills. Shape the ground away from a foundation with it before the gravel goes on.

Fill Dirt handles bulk fill and rough shaping.

Then the base course. Staymat runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, so it locks up tight under a roller.

It is the everyday Vermont word for road base. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base for drives and pads.

Bank run gravel is pit gravel screened rather than crushed. Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

Bank Run Gravel works as subbase and bulk fill.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4 inch crushed stone is the Vermont drainage size, and 3/8 inch crushed stone beds pipe and tops a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone cover most of it.

For flatwork, stone dust is the New England default. Screenings bed pavers, bluestone and flagstone and bind a path surface.

Stone Dust is what you want under pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Peru

Rain and snowmelt run off steep, shallow soils fast across the Green Mountains. Brooks rise quickly.

A drive on a grade sheds water down its own surface unless the crown and the ditch line are right.

That is why drainage gets planned before the surface does. Curtain drains, footing drains and dry wells all need washed stone that stays open.

Drain rock and #57 stone are the sizes for that work.

Expect frost in the ground well into spring and hard frost heaving on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the Peru town office.

Steep-gradient streams scour banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain. Stone fill lines those spots.

Type I stone fill runs about 1 inch to 12 inches and armours culvert inlets and outlets.

The working season is short. Mud season arrives later and lasts longer up high, and the ground freezes again sooner.

Base and paver work gets squeezed into late spring through early fall.
