Materials for Waitsfield Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here. Loam and fill get the ground shaped before any stone goes down.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Screened loam is the Vermont word for topsoil, and landscapers buy it screened. Spread it over stony till and heavy clay for lawns and bed prep.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds and planting areas where screened loam alone sits too heavy. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before the gravel goes on.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through a short growing season.

Base Materials

Staymat is what Vermont yards call a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust. It locks up tight under a roller.

Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Bank run gravel is screened from a pit rather than crushed, so it goes under as subbase and bulk fill.

Crushed gravel is the top course over that subbase, and dense graded crushed stone is the harder, more angular spec base. Staymat covers all three uses.

Washed Stone and Drainage

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, curtain drains, pipe surround and mud-season hardstanding.

Numbered sizes are specified here too. #57 Stone and #4 crushed stone suit trenches, French drains and heavy drainage in soft ground.

Sand, Decorative and Stone Fill

Mason Sand beds brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork.

River Rock fills decorative beds and dry creek beds. Stone fill lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets.

Ground and Conditions in Waitsfield

Rain and snowmelt run off steep, shallow soils across the Green Mountains fast. Brooks rise quickly, and a drive on a grade sheds water down its own surface.

Get the crown and the ditch line right and a drive stays put. Skip them and the running surface washes out.

Soils here are thin, stony glacial till over schist and gneiss on the slopes, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. Valley floors carry sand and gravel outwash.

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 at an outlet and a proper drainage layer in the drive take that water without losing the surface.

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 hard frost heaving shows up on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the Waitsfield town office.
