Materials for South Chatham Projects

Much of the yard work in South Chatham is landscaping. Beds, dry creek beds and ground cover take stone that looks right and moves water. Start with the decorative grades.

• River Rock: decorative beds, borders, drip edges and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock: heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• Pea Stone: walkways, play areas, around stepping stones and drainage.
• RipRap: stream banks, culvert outlets, slope stabilization and coastal bank armoring.

Dry creek beds need rounded stone that will not lock up, so river rock and large river rock do the work. Line the trench, then let storm water run through it instead of over the lawn.

Beds want a different grade. Shredded mulch holds moisture through the summer, and Shredded Mulch is the standard bed cover. Keep stone back from the siding and let mulch handle tree rings and planting areas.

Under the flatwork, the base matters more than the surface. Stone Dust is the New England default for paver, flagstone and patio bedding. Washed Sand levels and beds under paver patios and walkways. Both compact tight and drain.

For a driveway, build on processed gravel and cap it with driveway gravel. For a patio, dig out, compact processed gravel, then bed on stone dust. For a drain, run #57 stone or drain rock in the trench and wrap it in filter fabric.

Ground and Conditions in South Chatham

This is Cape Cod and the Islands ground: deep glacial outwash sand and gravel, sandy moraine hills, thin till in places, dunes and tidal marsh along the shore. Sand drains fast, so an under-built base fails by shifting, not by holding water.

Compact in lifts. A thick layer of processed gravel dumped all at once will not lock. Spread it, wet it, and run the plate over each layer before the next one goes down.

Frost depth runs 48 inches by state code, the single value used statewide. Clean, fast-draining sand is far less prone to frost heave than silty soils, but hard freezes still happen in cold spells. Set base depth for that, not for the mild winter.

Nor'easter and hurricane waves cut back beaches, dunes and coastal bluffs, most sharply on the outer shore facing the open Atlantic. RipRap is the answer on those banks. Winters are milder and the frost-free season longer than inland Massachusetts, so late fall and winter nor'easters bring the roughest conditions for outdoor work near the water.

Delivery to South Chatham and the Surrounding Area

Order online. Pick your material, then choose a quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard. Bulk stone, sand and loam move by weight, so a ton figure is the cleanest way to buy.

Not sure of the number? Measure the area, decide the depth, and convert. A solid patio base needs far more processed gravel than the same area spread thin. The FAQ below covers the math.

We deliver to sites across Barnstable County, including Falmouth, Sandwich, Mashpee, Dennis and Harwich. Bulk loads need a clear drop spot and firm ground for the truck. Point us at the driveway or the side yard and we will place the pile where you want to shovel from.

Questions South Chatham Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width in feet, then multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards. Enter your driveway measurements in the calculator to see the cubic yards before compaction. Add roughly 10 percent for settling, and round up rather than short.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in South Chatham?

Yes. Order by the ton for stone, sand and gravel, or by the cubic yard for loam and mulch. Add the material to your cart online, enter the delivery address, and pick a quantity. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck, so leave room for the truck to reach the drop point.
