Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Hancock, NH
If you are planning a job around the house or on a lot in town, gravel and aggregate delivery in Hancock, NH starts with the right material. New Hampshire Rock Supply sells bulk crushed gravel, stone, sand, loam and fill, delivered across the state. Most Hancock ground is stony glacial till and ledge on the hills, so what sits under your project matters as much as what you put on top.
Materials for Hancock Projects
Soil and fill are the materials most Hancock jobs are really about. Grading a yard, raising a bed or leveling a lawn starts with what goes under the grass, and that means screened loam, garden soil and clean fill placed at the right depth.
Screened loam is the New Hampshire landscaper's default for lawns and bed prep. It is topsoil run through a screen, so it spreads evenly and takes seed without rocks in the way. Use it where you are building up a grade or repairing a lawn over stony ground.
Garden soil is a blended mix for raised beds and planting areas, and it holds moisture better than raw fill. If you are filling boxes or reworking a vegetable patch, order garden soil by the yard and skip the screening work yourself.
Under the soil layer, the base materials do the structural work.
For a drive, start with Crushed Gravel and top it with Driveway Gravel for a tighter running surface. For a patio or walk, bed the pavers in Stone Dust and finish the edges with Pea Stone.
Ground and Conditions in Hancock
Water drives most of the material decisions here. Silty and clayey valley soils and dense hillside till drain slowly and stay soft through mud season, while sandy terraces and outwash drain quickly. That difference changes how deep your base has to be.
On the slow-draining ground, you want a coarser drainage layer so water has somewhere to go before it sits against your base. Drain Rock works for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and #57 Stone handles drainage beds and concrete aggregate.
Stream and river bank scour after heavy rain and spring snowmelt is the other issue, on the Connecticut River and on the steeper streams coming off the hills. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against that runoff.
Work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw and frost heaves in gravel drives every spring, with frost depth around 4 feet in most towns. The town building official sets footing depth, so check before you dig. Build your base thick enough that heaving does not pull it apart.

Questions Hancock Buyers Ask
Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Hancock?
Yes. Bulk gravel, stone, sand and soil are sold by the ton or by the cubic yard, and you choose the amount when you order online. Use the calculator to convert your project dimensions into a load size. Delivery runs to Hancock and the surrounding Hillsborough County towns on a dump truck that tips the material at your site.
What stone should I use for drainage in Hancock?
It depends on where the water goes. For French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the usual pick. For drainage beds and concrete work, #57 Stone or #67 Stone fit. Where the ground is silty or clayey and drains slowly, a coarser washed stone keeps water moving instead of pooling against your base.
