Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Plainfield, VT

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base in Plainfield, the material under it decides how it holds up. Vermont Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Plainfield, VT, and staymat is the base most of that work starts on.

This is stony glacial till country, so the ground under your project is already part stone. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for Plainfield Projects

Start with the base. Staymat, which Vermont yards also call stay mat, is a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust.

It locks up tight under a roller.

Crushed gravel is the spec surface course behind it, the same dense graded idea called for on town roads and long drives. Both are dense graded crushed stone, the spec name for a crushed base graded from 3 inches down to fines.

• Staymat for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• Bank Run Gravel for subbase and bulk fill. It is screened, not crushed.
• Driveway Gravel for resurfacing a drive after mud season chews the running surface.
• Stone Dust for bedding under pavers and flagstone, and for paths.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4 inch crushed stone goes into drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround, and pea stone suits walkways and dry wells.

For a wet cut bank, stone fill lines the ditch and arms the culvert inlet.

Around the house, screened loam and garden soil build beds over heavy clay, while mason sand beds brick and block work and washed sand beds flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Plainfield

Across the Vermont Piedmont, dense hardpan till perches water instead of letting it down. Hillside seeps keep a cut bank wet all season, and mud season works over the unpaved town roads.

That is why a base built on this ground has to shed water before it carries anything. Bank run gravel goes in first as subbase, with a crushed top course over it.

On steep gravel road grades, ditch and culvert scour is the damage to plan around. Stone fill at the inlet and outlet holds that edge, the same way it holds a stream bank after snowmelt.

Base and driveway work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Valley terraces work a week or two before the hill towns, where frost sits deeper and frost heaving shows up first on gravel roads and long drives running across a slope.

Footing depth is set by the town, so confirm it with the town office.
