What stone should I use for drainage in New London?

Start with Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, and downspout runs. It is clean, washed, and moves water fast. For heavier flow in swales or trench bottoms, step up to #4 Crushed Stone. For shoreline or slope erosion, RipRap is the right call. Match the stone size to the water volume.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop zone and mark where the load goes. Check for low wires and branches. Make sure the ground is firm enough for the truck, especially after spring thaw. Have someone on site to direct the driver. If you are unsure about access, call before ordering so we can plan the delivery for New London conditions.

How is the material measured?

You can order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever suits how you plan the job. If you tell us the area you are covering and the depth you want, we will work the quantity out with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Erosion Control Material Delivery in New London, CT

Need gravel and aggregate delivery in New London, CT? Connecticut Rock Supply brings bulk stone, sand, and soil right to your site. Start with processed gravel, the local name for the region's standard base material. It compacts tight and holds against the snowmelt, spring thaw, nor'easters, and coastal storms that pound Long Island Sound.

This shoreline city deals with steep slopes, tidal surges, and rocky ground. The right coarse stone handles the erosion before it starts. Order online by the ton or yard, and we deliver across New London County.

Materials for New London Projects

Start with the heaviest stone for the worst water. RipRap armor banks, swales, and shoreline edges. It absorbs wave energy and stops soil from washing out during coastal storms along Long Island Sound. Use it where water moves fast and carries force.

For trench bottoms and heavy drainage, #4 Crushed Stone keeps French drains and construction entrances open. Step down to Drain Rock for drywells, downspout runs, and drainage behind retaining walls. Both move water quickly and stay put.

Build the base first. Processed gravel, also called process or 3/4 inch process, is the Connecticut default for driveways, pads, and sub-base. It binds when compacted and carries the load. Finish with 3/4" Trap Rock, the signature Connecticut quarry rock, for a clean surface that sheds water.

Ground and Conditions in New London

Plan around the working season. Base and paver work runs spring through fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months. Schedule your delivery before the ground locks up.

The ground here is rocky glacial till with ledge close to the surface in much of the state. Excavation depth and fill volume are harder to guess than in deep soils. You may hit bedrock a foot down or find three feet of loose till. Order a little extra fill to cover the surprise.

Frost is severe and repeated, and the main reason a thin base fails here. Frost depth runs about 42 inches. That freeze-thaw cycle lifts and shifts whatever sits on top. A base of processed gravel at proper depth, compacted in lifts, resists the heave. Cut corners on base depth and you repave next spring.
