Materials for Charlton Projects

Driveways and parking pads drive most jobs here. Start with the base, then surface it.

Processed Gravel is the standard Massachusetts base material. Spread it, compact it, and it carries a drive for years. Use it under asphalt, under pavers, and under a gravel surface.

Crusher Run is a crushed stone and fines blend that locks up hard under a plate compactor. Many suppliers sell this blend as dense grade. Either name gets you a compacting base for a walkway, a paver patio or a drive.

Surface with Driveway Gravel over your compacted base. It takes tire traffic and sheds water. For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable top.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Stone and Drain Rock go into French drains, drywells and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, backfill and construction entrances.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand beds paver patios and walkways. Mason Sand mixes mortar and joints. Top Soil, which landscapers here call screened loam, rebuilds a lawn over stony ground. Pea Stone and River Rock cover beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Charlton

Plan around water first. Snowmelt and spring rain perch on the dense lower till under this town, so soils stay wet near the surface well into spring. Runoff collects in the low wetlands.

That perched water is why a drainage layer matters as much as the base. Set a solid layer of #57 Stone or Drain Rock under a drive or patio edge and water has somewhere to go.

Stony glacial till on rolling hills and drumlins makes digging slow and compaction uneven. Compact processed gravel in lifts, not one deep pass. Frost depth runs 48 inches by state code, and the long freeze-thaw season heaves gravel drives and softens base as the ground thaws.

Wet spring ground on dense till is the usual hold-up for early base work. Snow and frozen ground close the season earlier here than near the coast. Stream banks scour after heavy rain, and sloping ground washes out in summer thunderstorms. RipRap armors those banks and culvert outlets.
