Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Post Mills, VT

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Post Mills, VT runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Vermont Rock Supply delivers staymat, crushed stone, sand and soil to sites around town.

Post Mills sits on the Vermont Piedmont, where rolling upland of stony glacial till over schist and granite shapes what a base has to do.

Materials for Post Mills Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills around a foundation before any gravel goes on.

Screened loam finishes the top, and garden soil goes into raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Fill Dirt is common fill for shaping ground away from a foundation. Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony till.

Garden Soil is a raised bed mix for planting areas that want a lighter structure. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through a short growing season.

Base and Driveway Materials

Staymat is the Vermont yard word for a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust. It locks up tight under a roller and is the everyday base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Bank run gravel is screened rather than crushed, so it works as subbase and bulk fill. Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

Staymat and Bank Run Gravel cover most base and subbase work. Driveway Gravel resurfaces a drive after mud season chews up the running surface.

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative

3/4 inch crushed stone goes into drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding. Drain rock handles curtain drains, footing drains and dry wells.

Stone dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone. Mason sand works brick and block, paver joints and sandboxes.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and dry wells. River rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders that carry roof and drive runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Post Mills

Across the Vermont Piedmont, dense hardpan till perches water. Hillside seeps keep a cut bank wet all season, and mud season runs long on the many miles of unpaved town road.

That perched water decides what goes under a drive. A compacted staymat surface over screened bank run gravel gives water somewhere to move instead of sitting against the base.

Ditch and culvert scour on steep gravel road grades follows heavy rain and snowmelt. Stone fill lines steep ditches, armours culvert inlets and outlets, and holds stream banks.

Cold winters bring deep frost in the hill towns and frost heaving that shows up first on gravel roads and on long drives running across a slope. Footing depth is set by the town, so confirm it with the town office.

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, which sets the order of the season.
