Driveway and Base Materials

Choosing the right base and top layers extends pavement life and reduces maintenance in Vermont's climate.

3/4 inch crushed stone and crusher run

Use 3/4 inch crushed stone as a stable base course under concrete and paving. Paired with crusher run, it compacts well and resists shifting. These aggregates perform during heavy snow melt and freeze-thaw cycles typical to Chittenden County.

Driveway Gravel and Road Base

Driveway gravel is blended for traction and compaction. For private roads and long drives, our road base provides engineered support and helps prevent frost heave when properly installed.

Decorative and Drainage Rock

Decorative rock and technical drainage stone are essential across urban gardens and rural sites.

Pea Gravel and Walkway Gravel

Pea gravel creates attractive, permeable surfaces around patios and playgrounds. For compactable paths, our walkway gravel provides a stable, ADA-friendly finish.

River Rock and #57 Stone

Smooth river rock works well in dry creek beds and rain gardens. For drainage trenches and concrete aggregate mixes, #57 stone offers consistent size and excellent flow-through.

Drain Rock for French Drains

Angular drain rock is ideal for footings, French drains, and septic leach fields where water must move away from foundations and road bases.

Sand and Soil Products

Proper sand and soil selection helps lawns, gardens, and construction systems succeed in Chittenden County's varied soils.

Topsoil and Fill Dirt

Topsoil is screened and blended for seeding lawns and planting beds. For grading, basement backfill, and bulk build-up, our fill dirt is consistent and clean.

Washed Sand, Mason Sand, and Playground Sand

Washed sand supports drainage layers and concrete mixes; mason sand provides fine, clean bedding for masonry. Our playground sand meets safety needs for schools and parks.

Recycled and Specialty Aggregates

Sustainable projects often use recycled materials without sacrificing performance.

Crushed Concrete and Decomposed Granite

Crushed concrete offers a cost-effective, green base option for driveways and pads. For natural-looking surfaces that stabilize with light compaction, decomposed granite is popular across gardens and low-maintenance paths.

Local Soil, Climate, and Construction Considerations in Chittenden County

Chittenden County sits in the Champlain Valley with lake-influenced weather, glacially derived soils, and a mix of loams, tills, and clay pockets. These conditions affect how aggregates perform.

Soil and geology

Much of the county has glacial till and lacustrine deposits near Lake Champlain. Lowland soils can be clayey and poorly drained, so using angular aggregates and adequate subdrainage is important.

Climate and seasonal factors

The region experiences cold winters with substantial snowfall and spring thaw. Aggregates chosen for driveways and road bases need to resist frost heave and provide reliable drainage during melt events.

Common local challenges

Freeze-thaw cycling leading to rutting and heaving
Poorly drained clay pockets in lowlands near the lake
Urban drainage requirements in Burlington and South Burlington

To mitigate these issues, contractors in Chittenden County pair permeable aggregates with subsurface drains and select coarser base materials under compressible soils.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel in Chittenden County

How much gravel do I need for a driveway in Chittenden County?

Estimate based on area and depth. A typical driveway requires a compacted base of 4 to 8 inches; we can calculate yards and recommend materials for frost-prone areas.

Do you deliver to Burlington and nearby towns?

Yes, we deliver free across Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, and all listed towns in Chittenden County.

Which aggregates are best for drainage on clay soils?

Use angular drain rock or #57 stone for trenches and French drains. Larger, angular rock clears silt and allows subsurface water to flow away from structures.

Can you supply materials for municipal or commercial projects?

Yes. We deliver bulk aggregates, road base, and engineered blends for municipal roads, commercial sites, and contractor projects across the county.
