Materials for Kingston Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Screened loam is the topsoil landscapers here buy for lawns, lawn repair and bed prep over stony ground, screened fine enough to rake and seed.

Top Soil is the material to order when the finish grade is the goal.

Where a bed needs more body than loam alone, garden soil carries it. Raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas take Garden Soil well.

Fill is the other half of grading: Fill Dirt brings a low spot or a yard up to grade where nothing finished goes on top.

Under the finished surface, processed gravel is the standard Rhode Island base, the compacted layer town road standards call for. Order Processed Gravel for driveways, parking pads, walks and shed bases.

Bank run gravel is unprocessed pit sand and gravel, dug and screened rather than crushed, and it works for bulk fill and raising grade before a base goes down. Bank Run Gravel is the product for that first lift.

Stone dust is the bedding and joint filler under pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and it packs garden paths. Stone Dust is what you want under flatwork.

For drainage, 3/4 inch crushed stone goes into drainage beds, trench backfill and drive surfacing, and 3/8 inch crushed stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and tight paths.

Sand and decorative stone round out a load. Mason sand is brick and block mortar, paver joints and pool bases, while concrete sand mixes concrete and beds pipe.

Pea stone suits walkways, play areas and drip edges, and river rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Kingston

Start with where the water goes. Across the South County outwash plain and coastal ponds, the ground is deep glacial outwash sand and gravel, and it takes water fast.

That is good news for a spring start and bad news for a base laid on loose sand, which can lose its bedding.

The same outwash feeds the aquifers that supply drinking water for the region, so what you put on the ground matters. Low ground floods on storm tides, and heavy rain scours banks after the fact.

A drainage layer of clean washed stone keeps water moving instead of pooling under a drive.

The working season opens early on free draining sand and runs long. Late summer into October is the tropical season, and summer on the shore is when staging a load is most awkward.

Freeze and thaw still work on the surface here. Free draining sand heaves less than till, so the spring problem on this ground is usually a base that has washed or spread rather than one that has lifted.

Delivery to Kingston and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and tips in one pile on site. Have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck arrives, with room for it to pull in and out.
