Materials for Hampton Projects

Hampton's flat, low ground and tidal shoreline push a lot of work toward erosion control. Water has nowhere to run, so the answer is usually coarse stone that lets it move or holds a bank in place. Here is what we stock, ordered from coarsest to finest.

For slope and swale work, start with rip rap. It locks together into a mat that sheds storm runoff instead of letting it cut a channel through loose sandy soil. Where the ground stays wet, railroad ballast gives you a coarse, open mass that drains fast.

Behind those bigger sizes, #57 Stone does the everyday drainage job: French drains, downspout runs and a clean topping over a compacted base. For tighter work, #8 Crushed Stone beds pipe and fills paver joints. Cap the whole job with 21A where you need a surface that packs hard and stays put.

On the fine end, screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and Natural Pea Gravel works for walkways and play areas. If you are raising grade before any of this goes down, fill dirt builds the pad first.

Ground and Conditions in Hampton

Hampton sits on layers of sand, silt and clay laid down as old sea and river sediment, not weathered rock. Sandy spots drain quickly. Clayey, marshy low ground holds water and stays soft long after a storm.

Timing drives the schedule here more than cold does. Hard freezes are short, so work runs through most of the winter. Long wet spells and the late-summer to fall tropical storm season are what hold jobs up, especially on low lots.

Freeze-thaw is lighter than inland Virginia, though cold snaps still freeze wet ground. Set base depth for the load and the drainage, not for frost. On wet ground, put a coarse drainage layer under the base so water has somewhere to go.

Delivery to Hampton and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are unsure, give us the length, width and depth and we will help you work out the figure.

Hampton is an independent city, so it is not part of any county. Our bulk delivery covers the city and the surrounding area. Lead time depends on the material and the schedule, so plan around your pour or your base work rather than the other way round.

Have the site ready before the truck arrives. Mark the drop spot, clear overhead lines and keep the gate wide enough for a loaded truck. Loose, saturated ground is the usual problem, so pick a firm spot or spread a little stone first.
