Start with staymat, the local word for a dense graded crushed base. It locks up tight under a roller and carries a patio, a walkway or a shed pad.

Ground and Conditions in Washington

Across the Vermont Piedmont, the ground is stony glacial till over schist, phyllite and granite. Ledge sits near the surface on the hilltops.

Sand, silt and gravel terraces run along the valley floors. Till like that holds a dense hardpan layer that perches water instead of letting it pass.

A thin base over that ground shows its failure fast. The surface pumps, ruts and rocks underfoot, and a patio slab moves with it.

The fix is a base that separates the flatwork from the wet till. Staymat over bank run gravel does that work.

Hillside seeps keep a cut bank wet all season, and mud season chews the unpaved roads here. Plan base and driveway work from the end of mud season into late fall.

Valley terraces work a week or two before the hill towns. Cold winters bring deep frost in the hills and frost heaving on long drives running across a slope.

Frost depth is set by the town. Confirm footing depth with the town office, and expect a deeper figure on the hills than in the river valleys.

Materials for Washington Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where these projects live or fail. Get the bedding right and the surface stays flat.

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

Staymat is the compacted base that goes under the bedding. It runs from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, so it tightens under a roller.

Bank run gravel is the subbase and bulk fill. It comes screened from a pit or bank rather than crushed, which is why it sits under a thinner crushed top course.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork. Mason sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and fine levelling.

3/4 inch crushed stone is washed stone for drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround. Drain rock runs curtain drains, footing drains and dry wells.
