Materials for Rochester Projects

Most jobs here start with soil. Grading and bed prep decide whether the rest of the job holds, so pick the fill first and build up from there.

Top Soil, which landscapers around here call screened loam, goes over stony glacial soils for lawns and bed prep. Buy it screened so the rake does not catch rocks.

Garden Soil is the richer mix for raised beds and planting areas. Use it where you are growing, not where you are filling.

For the base under a drive or a parking pad, Crushed Gravel is the standard New Hampshire material. It compacts hard and sheds water. Crusher Run binds and tightens even more where you want a locked surface.

Under flatwork, Stone Dust, also called screenings, is the New England default bedding for pavers, flagstone and patios. Level it, then compact it.

For sand, Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Rochester

Start with water and where it goes. Sandy valley outwash drains fast. Dense till with a hardpan layer drains slowly, so it holds water instead of passing it.

In mud season, thawed soil sits above ground that is still frozen. Water pools on top because it cannot go down. Plan drainage before you plan the surface.

After heavy rain and snowmelt, river and stream banks scour. The May 2006 flood set record flows on several rivers in this part of the state. Arm those banks with RipRap.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Gravel drives heave as the ground thaws each spring. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in most towns, and the town building official sets footing depth.

Compact on firm, unfrozen ground. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Delivery to Rochester and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives in a dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Have the drop spot clear before the truck shows up.

Measure the pad. Leave room for the tailgate to swing and for the pile to spread. Soft ground after rain can take the weight badly, so pick a firm spot or stage the pile farther out.
