Materials for Waterville Projects

Raising grade and building pads is where most Waterville projects start. Get the fill and the sub-base right and the finish course has something to sit on.

Fill dirt, also called common fill, raises grade and backfills before any gravel goes down. Use it to shape ground away from a foundation.

Bank run gravel is gravel screened from a pit or bank rather than crushed. It works as subbase and bulk fill under a thinner crushed top course.

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.

For a driveway, order Driveway Gravel to resurface a running surface or top a compacted base. For a patio, bed pavers on Stone Dust.

For drainage, washed stone moves water. 3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds, curtain drains and pipe surround.

Stone fill, the Vermont word for riprap, lines steep ditches and armours culvert inlets and outlets. Type I runs about 1 inch to 12 inches.

On the soil side, screened loam feeds lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds where loam alone sits too heavy.

Ground and Conditions in Waterville

Across the Green Mountains, thin stony glacial till sits over schist and gneiss on the slopes, with boulders and ledge close to the surface. Valley floors carry sand and gravel outwash.

That ground punishes an under-built base. Till drains poorly and holds frost, so a drive needs a base that will not pump or shift when the ground moves.

Culvert outlets and ditch lines take the worst of it. Steep-gradient streams scour banks in heavy rain, the pattern that did the worst damage in the mountain towns in the August 2011 flooding.

Frost sits in the ground well into spring, and hard frost heaving works on gravel drives and camp roads. Frost depth is set by the town, so confirm footing depth with the town office.

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.

Questions from Waterville Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Waterville?

Start with a compacted base of staymat or bank run gravel, then bed the pavers on stone dust, also called screenings. Stone dust is the New England default under flatwork because it beds bluestone, flagstone and pavers evenly and binds as a topping on paths.

Get the fill and sub-base right first, since this ground heaves and an under-built base will show it.

Do you supply contractors working in Waterville?

Yes. Contractors order the same way everyone does: online, by the ton or by the yard, with a delivery date picked at checkout.
