Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Newport, NH

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Newport, NH, New Hampshire Rock Supply stocks the full list: crushed gravel, washed stone, sand, screened loam and garden soil. This is Sullivan County ground, stony till on the hills and softer valley soils below, so the material you order has to match what is already under the truck.

Order by the ton or the yard and we drop it where you are working. Most Newport projects start with a base layer, then finish with soil, stone or sand.

Materials for Newport Projects

Soil and fill carry most of the landscaping and grading work around Newport. Screened loam, which most New Hampshire landscapers just call loam, goes down over stony glacial ground before seed or sod. Order it screened so you are not raking out rock after the fact.

Garden soil is the raised bed and planting mix. It holds moisture better than raw fill and gives roots something to work into. For grading and leveling, crushed gravel is the standard New Hampshire base material, and it is the one to start with under a shed pad or a parking area.

Around the soil work you will usually need stone and sand:

• Top Soil for lawns and bed prep over stony ground.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.
• Crushed Gravel for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• Stone Dust, also called screenings, for paver and flagstone bedding.
• Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs.

For drive surfacing, Driveway Gravel tops an existing compacted base. Where you want a binding, compacting material instead, Crusher Run is the usual pick.

Ground and Conditions in Newport

Start with where the water goes. Rain, spring snowmelt and summer storms all move downhill here, and the ground decides how fast it leaves. Silty and clayey valley soils and dense hillside till drain slowly and stay soft through mud season. Sandy terraces and outwash drain quickly.

That difference sets your base depth. On the slow-draining ground, dig deeper and use a coarse, open stone so water has somewhere to go before it sits under your slab or drive. On the fast-draining terraces you can build shallower. #57 Stone and Drain Rock are the drainage picks, and both work for French drains and downspout runs.

Bank scour is the other local driver. The Connecticut River and the steeper streams coming off the hills cut their banks after heavy rain and snowmelt. RipRap armors those edges. Winter brings repeated freeze-thaw, and frost heaves show up in gravel drives and hill-town roads every spring. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in most towns, and the town building official sets footing depth.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so plan the soil and base work for the open months.

Delivery to Newport and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped, not carried, so the drop needs room. Clear overhead wires and low branches, and pick a spot with a solid approach. Soft ground in mud season will take ruts, so tell us if the lawn or drive is spongy.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. Figure your square footage and depth first, then use the calculator to size the load. A base layer usually wants a solid depth after compaction, and more where the soil drains poorly.

Newport sits in Sullivan County, and we cover the towns around it, including Claremont, Charlestown, Grantham, Sunapee and Plainfield.

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

What stone should I use for drainage in Newport?

It depends on the job. #57 Stone and Drain Rock handle French drains, drywells and downspout runs, while #4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage and trench bottoms. Where the ground is silty and drains slowly, use a coarser open stone so water moves through instead of sitting. RipRap is the pick for stream bank and culvert outlet work.
