Crushed Gravel Delivery for Rochester, VT

Vermont Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Rochester, VT and the surrounding Green Mountains. Staymat is the dense graded crushed base this market builds drives, parking pads and shed bases from.

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.

Materials for Rochester Projects

Fill and sub-base carry the grade work here. Raising a pad, backfilling a foundation or shaping ground away from a structure starts with material that goes down before anything else.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills. It shapes the ground away from a foundation before the gravel goes on.

Bank Run Gravel is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed. Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

Staymat is the dense graded crushed base for drives, parking pads and shed bases. Crushed gravel and dense graded crushed stone are the spec words standing behind it.

For a driveway, start with bank run gravel as subbase and finish with staymat or Driveway Gravel. Driveway gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base after mud season chews up the running surface.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone. It also binds as a dust topping on paths, and it is the New England default under flatwork.

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

Ground and Conditions in Rochester

Across the Green Mountains the ground is thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss on the slopes. Boulders and ledge sit close to the surface, and sand and gravel outwash fills the valley floors.

That till does not drain well and it does not compact into a stable base on its own. An under-built base over it moves, and the surface above it follows.

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, armours culvert inlets and outlets and holds stream banks.

VTrans grades stone fill by type, with Type I running 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 gravel drives and camp roads heave. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

Questions About Material in Rochester

What is the best base under pavers in Rochester?

Stone dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it is the New England default under flatwork. Below it, staymat gives you a dense graded crushed base that locks up tight under a roller.

Bank run gravel can sit under that as subbase where the ground is soft or the grade needs raising.
