Materials for Alton Bay Projects
Start with soil. Screened loam carries lawns and bed prep over stony ground, and New Hampshire landscapers buy it screened. Garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Order both when you grade a lot and plant it in the same season.
Then build the base and the drainage. Crushed gravel is the standard New Hampshire base material for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crusher run compacts and binds where you want a tighter drive. Stone dust, also called screenings, beds pavers, flagstone and patios, the New England default under flatwork.
Sand and stone finish the job. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs, pea stone handles walkways and play areas, and drain rock runs French drains, drywells and downspout lines.
Ground and Conditions in Alton Bay
Follow the water. Snowmelt and mud season saturate the till soils, and runoff from drives and sloped lots flows toward the lakes and ponds. On the sandy plains, water drains fast. That split decides your base depth and your drainage layer.
Where till holds water, dig deeper and use open stone so the water has somewhere to go. Where sand drains fast, compact in lifts and cap it. Both need a crown so surface water runs off instead of sitting.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost heaves lift gravel drives and camp roads every spring. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in most towns, and the town building official sets footing depth. Base and driveway work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.
Lakeshore banks take the most damage when lake levels are high. Wind and boat waves wear the banks down, and stream banks scour after heavy rain and spring thaw. Riprap armors shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against that push.

What stone should I use for drainage in Alton Bay?
Match the stone to the water. Drain rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. Use #57 stone for drainage beds and concrete aggregate.
