Materials for Marlborough Projects

Most jobs here start with fill and sub-base. Raise a grade, build a pad, set a base that compacts hard. Order by project type and you will get the right material the first time.

Driveways and pads

Crushed gravel is the standard New Hampshire base. Use it to raise grade and build a compacted sub-base, then top it with driveway gravel for the surface. Where you want a material that binds and compacts tight, order crusher run.

Patios and walkways

Under pavers, flagstone and patio slabs, use stone dust, also called screenings. It beds flat and locks the pavers in place. For a finer walkable surface on a garden path, order walkway gravel.

Drains and wet ground

French drains, drywells and downspout runs take drain rock. Behind a retaining wall or under a slab, #57 stone gives you the open drainage layer that moves water away.

Ground and Conditions in Marlborough

Stony glacial till and ledge sit on the hills. Sand, silt and clay left by glacial Lake Hitchcock and river terraces run along the Connecticut River valley. That mix decides how deep your base goes.

Valley soils stay soft and drain slowly. Hillside till is dense and holds water. On both, an under-built base pumps, shifts and ruts. Dig out the soft material, then build up in lifts of crushed gravel and compact each lift before the next one.

Sandy terraces and outwash drain fast and need less stone. Test your ground before you order. Frost heaves lift gravel drives and hill-town roads every spring, so a deeper compacted base pays off. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in most towns, and the town building official sets footing depth.

Stream and river bank scour after heavy rain and spring snowmelt is real here. Line culvert outlets, banks and slopes with rip rap. Schedule base, driveway and paver work from the end of mud season into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.
