Driveway & Road Aggregates
Grafton County's rural roads and private drives need aggregates that resist frost heaving and provide reliable traction. We stock materials that serve as proven solutions for local conditions.
Best materials for driveways
- Driveway Gravel - mixed blends that lock together for a firm surface.
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - solid angular stone to create a structural base.
- Road Base - engineered for heavy loads and long-term stability.
- Crusher Run - used as a compactable binder layer under top stone.
When to choose recycled materials
Recycled options such as crushed concrete provide excellent value for large base projects. They are sustainable and often more economical for long driveways and private roads.
Drainage Aggregates & Erosion Control
Proper drainage and erosion control prevent costly repairs in Grafton County, where spring runoff and steep slopes are common.
Recommended materials
- Drain Rock - ideal for perforated pipe and French drains.
- #57 Stone - used where high permeability and stability are needed.
- River Rock - for energy-dissipating outlet structures and dry creek features.
Project types
- French drains and foundation perimeter drains

Decorative & Garden Aggregates

Sand, Topsoil & Fill Dirt
Quality soil and sand are essential for planting beds, sports areas, and structural backfill in Grafton County's varied geology.
Materials for planting and play
- Topsoil - screened and blended for lawns and gardens.
- Fill Dirt - suitable for grading and raising foundations.
- Mason Sand - for mortar and fine leveling.

When to use fill dirt vs topsoil
Use fill dirt to build grade and structural fills and choose topsoil when the surface will support plant growth. We advise drainage planning when placing topsoil on slopes common near the Pemigewasset River basin and mountain foothills.

Grafton County Geology, Climate & Material Recommendations
Grafton County spans river valleys and the White Mountains. Soil ranges from well-draining sands and gravels along river terraces to glacial tills and loams on upland slopes. Winter freeze-thaw cycles and spring thaw runoff are key considerations for material selection.
Geology and soil notes
- Alluvial deposits near the Connecticut River and Pemi offer sand and rounded gravels
- Glacial tills on higher elevations contain mixed fines and cobbles
- Well-drained aggregates like #57 stone help reduce frost heave at footing drains
Climate considerations
Expect long winters with heavy snow and seasonal freeze-thaw in many towns including Lincoln, Littleton, and Woodstock. Use angular crushed stone in base layers to resist movement and select permeable surfaces where meltwater is a concern.
