Materials for Rutland Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of ground here. Beds, borders and rock mulch around foundations hold up where wind makes bark mulch a losing battle.

River rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and draw bottoms that move runoff without washing out.

For a driveway, start with base course and top it with driveway gravel. Gravel cushion rolls out as the cushion course under concrete and asphalt, and as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

For a patio or a walk, stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, play areas and dog runs where a rounded, walkable stone is wanted.

Washed rock handles drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

For a drain or a culvert outlet, riprap lines the outlet and holds the bank. 3/4 quartzite, the pink Sioux Quartzite from the southeast corner, works for drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.

For soil, topsoil builds a real growing layer over stony till. Garden soil fills raised beds, shelterbelt planting pockets and vegetable ground.

Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Rutland

The ground here is deep glacial till on a high plateau, with stony loam over dense till. Sand and gravel outwash runs along old meltwater channels.

An under-built base on that ground moves, because the fines under it never dry out.

Closed pothole basins with no outlet hold snowmelt and spring rain. The dense till takes water slowly, so a drive edge stays soft long after the surface looks dry.

A drainage layer of washed rock or #57 stone gives that water somewhere to go.

Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff cut ditches and drive edges on the coteau slopes, and wind scours bare open ground. Riprap and large river rock armor those spots.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and the frost boil weeks in early spring are the worst time to place material.

Gravel drives heave through the winter and soften badly when the frost comes out.
