Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Campton, NH
Start with the math before you call for gravel and aggregate delivery in Campton, NH. Measure the length, width and depth of the pad or drive, then convert to tons. New Hampshire Rock Supply sells crushed gravel, stone and soil by the ton, so a few minutes with a tape measure keeps you from paying for a second trip.
Most jobs around town start with crushed gravel. It is the base everything else sits on, and it is what you want under a driveway, a parking pad or a shed.
Materials for Campton Projects
Fill and sub-base work comes first on many Campton lots, whether you are raising grade, building up a pad, or setting a solid layer under whatever goes on top. On thin mountain ground, that first lift of fill does most of the work.
For a driveway, start with crushed gravel as the base, then top it with driveway gravel for a tighter running surface. Where you want a material that binds and compacts hard, crusher run is the usual pick.
For a patio or walkway, the bedding matters as much as the stone. stone dust is the New England default under pavers and flagstone, and walkway gravel gives a path a finer, walkable surface.
For drainage, drain rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. RipRap armors a stream bank or culvert outlet against fast spring runoff.
Ground and Conditions in Campton
Campton sits in the White Mountains, and the ground shows it. Slopes carry thin, stony till over bedrock, while the valley floors hold sand and gravel outwash and river deposits. Those two ground types behave nothing alike under a loaded base.
On the slopes, water runs off fast and a shallow base will pump and rut. Dig out the soft material, put down a separation layer, then build up in lifts of crushed gravel and compact each one. On the sandy valley floor the drainage is good, but low ground near the rivers stays wet longer.
Erosion is real here. Steep mountain streams scour banks, culverts and road shoulders in heavy rain, the way Tropical Storm Irene showed in 2011. RipRap and drain rock at outlets and shoulders hold that ground in place.
Timing matters too. Base and driveway work waits until frost is out and mud season ends, which comes later at higher elevations, and stops once the ground freezes again. Frost heaves push gravel drives around, so confirm the local frost depth figure with the town building official. It can run deeper than the 4 feet common in southern towns.

Questions from Campton Buyers
What is the best base under pavers in Campton?
Start with a compacted lift of crushed gravel, then bed the pavers in stone dust, also called screenings. Stone dust is the New England default under flatwork because it locks up tight and levels easily. Build the base deep enough for your frost conditions, and compact in lifts rather than one thick layer.

Yes. New Hampshire Rock Supply supplies contractors working in Campton and across Grafton County. Order base material, drainage stone and loam by the ton, and we deliver to the job site. Crews building pads, drives and drainage on the mountain slopes can order each phase as the work moves.
Order Crushed Gravel in Campton
Crushed gravel is the material most Campton jobs start with, whether you are raising grade for a pad or rebuilding a drive that heaves every spring. Measure your area, pick your tonnage, and place the order online. New Hampshire Rock Supply will get the right base material to your site.
