Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Lisbon, NH by the ton or the yard. New Hampshire Rock Supply sells crushed gravel for drives and pads, plus screened loam, garden soil and fill for grading and bed prep. Order online and we deliver.

Grafton County ground runs thin and stony on the slopes, so most yards here need fill and loam before anything else goes down.

Materials for Lisbon Projects

Soil work drives most Lisbon orders. Screened loam, which landscapers here call loam or screened topsoil, goes over stony till for lawns and bed prep. Spread it evenly and work it into the surface, not just on top of it.

Then build the base and drainage around it.

• Top Soil for lawns and bed prep over rocky glacial ground.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.
• Crushed Gravel for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. It is the standard New Hampshire base material and the one contractors ask for by name.
• Stone Dust, also called screenings, for paver, flagstone and patio bedding under flatwork.
• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Lisbon

Start with water. Rain and snowmelt run off steep, shallow soils fast, so mountain streams rise quickly and stay high.

Sandy valley floors drain well but flood near the rivers. That splits your material choice. On the slopes you fight runoff and shallow depth. On the valley floor you fight a high water table.

Either way, drainage carries the design. A French drain wants washed stone, so use #57 Stone or drain rock, and keep the fines out of the trench. Cover it with filter fabric and top it with 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Steep mountain streams scour banks, culverts and road shoulders in heavy rain, as Tropical Storm Irene showed in 2011. Arm culvert outlets and stream banks with RipRap before the next big storm, not after.

Timing matters as much as the material. Base and driveway work waits until frost is out and mud season ends. That comes later at higher elevations, and work stops once the ground freezes again.

Winters run long and cold and get colder with elevation. Freeze-thaw reaches well into spring and heaved gravel drives and roads show it. Set base depth to the frost depth your town building official gives you. Confirm the local figure, because it can run deeper than the 4 feet common in southern towns.

Delivery to Lisbon and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives loose on a dump truck and lands where you point it. Have the drop spot cleared and marked before the truck rolls in.

Check overhead lines, tree limbs and low wires on the way in. Know where your septic, well head and buried utilities run. Point the driver to firm ground, because a loaded truck sinks in soft spring yards.

Size the load before you order. The calculator on each product page converts your area and depth into tons or cubic yards, so you buy what the job needs. Order online and confirm the delivery window, then we haul.

We deliver across Grafton County, including Lebanon, Hanover, Plymouth, Littleton and Haverhill.

Questions from Lisbon Buyers

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Lisbon?

Yes. Order by the ton or the cubic yard, whichever suits the material. The product page calculator turns your square footage and depth into a quantity, so you size the load before checkout. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck and get placed where you direct. If your site is tight or steep, choose a drop spot the dump truck can reach and pick a delivery date at checkout.

What stone should I use for drainage in Lisbon?

Washed stone, not crushed. #57 Stone and drain rock are the usual picks for French drains, drywells and foundation drains, because the washed faces leave open voids for water to move. Keep fines and dust out of the trench or it clogs. For heavier flow, step up to #4 Crushed Stone, and use RipRap where a stream bank or culvert outlet needs armoring.
