Materials for Exeter Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Loam, garden soil and fill do the work that makes a lawn, a garden or a level pad possible.

Order Top Soil for lawns, lawn repair and bed prep. Landscapers here buy it screened, often to 1/2 inch, because the ground is stony.

Planting areas that need more body take Garden Soil. Raised beds and vegetable gardens use it where loam alone is too thin.

Bring a low spot or a yard up to grade with Fill Dirt. Use it for backfilling foundations and anywhere no finished surface goes on top.

For the base under a drive, pad or walk, use processed gravel, also called process. It is the compacted layer town road standards call for under a finished surface.

Order it in 3/4 processed for residential drives and patio bases, or 1 1/2 inch processed for deeper drive bases and ground that carries heavy equipment.

Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel, or surface a path with Walkway Gravel where you want a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone covers drainage. Drain Rock, sold here as clean or washed stone in an inch size, goes into French drains, drywells and foundation perimeter drains.

Numbered sizes such as #57 Stone and #8 Crushed Stone are how that material gets specified.

Ground and Conditions in Exeter

Start with the water. Rain, snowmelt and thaw come off the Western uplands faster than the ground takes them in.

Dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water rather than absorbing it. Meltwater sits on the surface, runs down slope and cuts across unpaved drives.

Excavation depth and fill volume are harder to guess on the uplands side than anywhere else in Rhode Island. Ledge and boulders sit close to the surface under stony glacial till.

Bank run gravel handles the first lift. It is unprocessed pit sand and gravel, dug and screened rather than crushed, and it fills and raises grade before a processed base goes down.

Frost heave is real in gravel drives and unpaved town roads here, and the working season is short. Base and paver work waits for the frost to come out and the till to drain, then finishes earlier in the fall than it does on the coast.

Where runoff has to go somewhere, size the stone to the flow. Riprap arms culvert outlets and stream banks against washout, and larger stone slows water where a smaller size would move.
