Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in South Londonderry, VT

Vermont Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in South Londonderry, VT, with staymat leading the load list. 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, which is why it works under drives, parking pads and shed bases on the slopes above the valley.

Materials for South Londonderry Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most of this ground starts, and staymat is the material that does it. Staymat is a dense graded crushed base that runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust.

Roll it and it knits into a hard, tight surface that sheds water off a graded drive.

Crushed gravel is the spec course that Vermont town road standards call for over a bank run subbase. VTrans specifies it under 704.05.

Dense graded crushed stone is the same idea in spec language: a crushed stone base graded from 3 inches down to fines, used where you want a harder, more angular base than pit gravel gives you.

Bank run gravel is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed. It is subbase and bulk fill.

Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course, which is why it sits below the staymat rather than on top.

For the running surface itself, Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base after mud season chews up the surface. Walkway Gravel is a finer, walkable grade for garden paths.

Washed stone handles the water. 3/4" Crushed Stone and Drain Rock go into curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs, and both give mud-season hardstanding where a drive turns soft.

3/8" Crushed Stone does the finer work: pipe bedding and a tight topping over a compacted base.

Sand and soil round out a build. Mason Sand beds brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Washed Sand levels under slabs and flatwork and mixes with cement. Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and beds over this stony ground, and Garden Soil is a raised bed mix for planting areas where loam alone sits too heavy.

Decorative stone finishes the yard. River Rock fills decorative beds and borders and lines dry creek beds that carry roof and drive runoff.

Large River Rock takes the heavier decorative and erosion work, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Vermont calls pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in South Londonderry

Across the Green Mountains, rain and snowmelt run off steep, shallow soils fast. Brooks rise quickly, and a drive on a grade sheds water down its own surface unless the crown and the ditch line are right.

That is the whole reason base choice matters here more than it does on flat ground.

The ground under it is thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss on the slopes, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. Sand and gravel outwash sits on the valley floors.

On a slope you are often working over rock and till rather than deep soil.

Steep-gradient streams scour banks, ditches and culvert outlets in heavy rain. That is the pattern that did the worst damage in the mountain towns in the August 2011 flooding.

Stone fill, the Vermont word for riprap, lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets. VTrans grades it 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.

Long, cold winters get colder with elevation, and frost in the ground well into spring means hard frost heaving on gravel drives and camp roads.

Frost depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the town office, and expect a deeper figure than the valleys once you gain elevation.
