Materials for Old Greenwich Projects
Most jobs in Old Greenwich start with the soil or base material. The right fill and topsoil set up everything that goes on top.
- Screened topsoil for lawns and beds over the thin, rocky glacial till common here. It gives new grass a clean medium to root into.
- Garden soil for raised beds and planting areas where you need richer organic content.
- Bank run gravel, also called bank run, for bulk fill and raising grade before a processed base goes down.
- Processed gravel for driveways, pads and base. It compacts into a firm layer that holds up to freeze and thaw.
Ground and Conditions in Old Greenwich
Water drives most of your material decisions here. Snowmelt, spring thaw, nor easters, and coastal storms along Long Island Sound all send water somewhere. You need a base and drainage layer that move that water away from your driveway and foundation.
Rocky glacial till with ledge close to the surface means excavation depth and fill volume are harder to guess than in deep soils. What looks like a simple dig can hit rock a foot down. Order a little extra bank run or processed gravel so you do not run short mid-job.
Frost is severe and repeated here, and it is the main reason a thin base fails. Connecticut frost depth runs deep, so a base that works in warmer states will heave and break apart here. Compact processed gravel in lifts to keep water out and the base stable.
Base and paver work runs spring through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so plan your grading and base work before the ground locks up.

Have a clear spot for the drop. A dump truck needs firm ground and enough room to maneuver. Let us know if you need the material placed in a specific area, and tell us about any low wires or tight turns on your street. A little planning keeps the delivery smooth.
Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Old Greenwich?
Yes. You can order most materials by the ton through the online calculator. Enter your project dimensions and depth, and the calculator estimates the quantity you need. For soil and fill projects, use the depth you plan to add to figure the volume. This keeps your order accurate for the delivery truck.
What stone should I use for drainage in Old Greenwich?
For most drainage work, start with drain rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. 57 stone also works well for drainage and concrete aggregate. Where you need a finer drainage layer, 3/8 inch crushed stone does the job. For heavy drainage along the shore or in a trench bottom, 4 crushed stone is the better choice.
