Materials for Hanover Projects

Most Hanover work is a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base, and all three start with crushed gravel. That is the standard New Hampshire base material. It compacts hard, sheds water and takes a load without pumping.

Where you want a base that binds as it packs, use crusher run. It has the fines left in, so it knits together under a plate compactor. On top, driveway gravel gives you a fresh running surface over a compacted base.

Flatwork sits on a different material. stone dust, also called screenings, is the New England default under pavers, flagstone and patios. It beds flat and locks the joints.

For drainage, drain rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the general-purpose clean stone for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

Sand and soil round out the order. mason sand is for block work and paver joints, and top soil, which landscapers here call screened loam, goes down over stony ground before seed.

Ground and Conditions in Hanover

Water decides most of what happens here. Silty and clayey valley soils and dense hillside till drain slowly and stay soft through mud season, so a base that holds moisture turns to mush under a truck.

Dig the base deep enough to get below that soft layer, then compact in lifts. A shallow lift over wet till will not hold, no matter what you surface it with.

Sandy terraces and outwash drain the other way, fast, and a drive there needs less depth but still needs compaction. Spring runoff also scours stream and river banks along the Connecticut River and the steeper streams coming off the hills. That is where riprap armors a bank or a culvert outlet.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw and frost heaves in gravel drives every spring. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in most towns, and the town building official sets footing depth.

Time your work between the end of mud season and late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Delivery to Hanover and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped or tailgated where you want it. Have the pad clear and the access wide enough for the truck before it shows up.

Order by the ton or by the yard, whichever your takeoff is in. Know your square footage and your depth, and size the load off that. A driveway base usually wants a solid compacted depth, more over soft valley ground.

Hanover sits in Grafton County, and we cover the towns around it, including Lebanon, Enfield, Haverhill, Plymouth and Littleton.
