Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Vernon, VT

Vermont Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Vernon, VT for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners patching a drive after mud season. Staymat is the base both groups reach for, and it is the material this page leads with.

Vernon sits on the Connecticut River Valley floor in Windham County, where sandy terraces and silt flats sit side by side. What you put under a drive depends on which one you are on.

Materials for Vernon Projects

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 as the base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Vermont Rock Supply delivers Staymat by the ton.

Crushed gravel is the spec course that sits over a bank run gravel subbase on town roads and long drives. Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and VTrans specifies it under 704.05.

The same dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for a base graded from 3 inches down to fines.

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, so it works as subbase and bulk fill.

Order Bank Run Gravel for that lower layer.

For resurfacing a drive that mud season has chewed up, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. On garden paths and walkways, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than drive gravel.

Washed stone, sand and soil

Vermont buys washed stone by the inch more often than by a number. 3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

Drain Rock covers curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs, the same idea VTrans carries as Drainage Aggregate under 704.16.

Stone dust, also called screenings, is the New England default under flatwork. It beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone and binds as a topping on paths.

Order Stone Dust for bedding work.

On the soil side, screened loam is what Vermont landscapers buy for lawns and bed prep over stony till and heavy clay. Garden soil suits raised beds where screened loam alone sits too heavy, and fill dirt raises grade and backfills before the gravel goes on.

Ground and Conditions in Vernon

Start with where the water goes. Across the Connecticut River Valley, sandy terraces drain fast while silt and clay flats hold water, and tributaries coming off the hills drop onto the valley floor quickly after heavy rain.

That split decides how a drive performs.

On a sandy terrace, water moves through and the base stays put. On the flats, meltwater and storm runoff sit in the silt and clay, and a drive needs a drainage layer rather than more surface stone.

Bank run gravel as subbase, then staymat on top, is the shape that handles both.

Erosion in this part of the state runs to bank scour and channel cutting, plus washouts where a hillside tributary crosses a road. 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 valley towns get one of the longest working seasons in Vermont, opening earlier in spring and holding later into fall than the hill towns a few miles west. That helps with timing, but frost still heaves drives, walks and road shoulders every spring.

Frost depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the Vernon town office, and expect a deeper figure on the hills than on the valley floor.
