Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in South Pomfret, VT? Vermont Rock Supply brings bulk stone, sand and soil to your site, ordered online by the ton or the yard.

If your ditch is cutting or your bank is slumping, staymat is not the answer. Coarse, angular stone is.

This part of the Vermont Piedmont runs on stony glacial till, and water moves through it in ways that show up fast on a slope.

Materials for South Pomfret Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection start with size. The bigger the stone, the more it holds when water comes off a hill in a hurry.

Coarse stone for banks and ditches

Stone Fill is the Vermont word for riprap, and it goes where a bank is losing ground. VTrans grades stone fill by type, with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches.

#4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms in soft ground. Its angular shape lets it bite and stay put under moving water.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for severe drainage and heavy hardstanding, the kind of ground that has to shed water and carry weight at the same time.

Drainage stone and pipe surround

Drain Rock covers curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are drainage and concrete sizes specified by number rather than by inch. #57 Stone suits drainage trenches and French drains.

Bedding, base and surface material

Top Soil is screened loam for lawns and bed prep over stony till and heavy clay. Vermont landscapers say loam, and they buy it screened.

Delivery to South Pomfret and the Surrounding Area

You order online. Choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator when you want to size the load.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile, so plan the spot before the truck arrives.

South Pomfret sits in Windsor County, and delivery reaches the surrounding towns, including Woodstock, Hartland, Windsor, Norwich and Springfield.

Ground and Conditions in South Pomfret

Base and driveway work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Ordering early in that window keeps the work ahead of the next wet spell.

Across the Vermont Piedmont, dense hardpan till perches water, and hillside seeps keep a cut bank wet all season. That is why a wet slope needs coarse stone, not a graded base.

Ditch and culvert scour on steep gravel road grades is the other pattern. Stone fill armours a culvert inlet or outlet so moving water hits stone instead of bare soil.

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. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

Questions About Ordering Stone in South Pomfret

What stone should I use for drainage in South Pomfret?

It depends on the job. For a curtain drain, footing drain or dry well, order drain rock or 3/4 inch crushed stone, both washed and open so water passes through.

For a French drain or a drainage trench, #57 stone or #67 stone is specified. Where a ditch bank is scouring, use stone fill, since the larger angular stone holds against moving water.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot cleared and reachable before the truck shows up. The driver tips the load in one pile, so the ground you choose is where the material stays.

Keep the area clear of vehicles, and pick a spot that can take the weight of a loaded truck. Then order online and choose your delivery date at checkout.
