Paving and masonry in Middlesex County
Piedmont in the north, Inner Coastal Plain in the south. County seat New Brunswick.
Working in Middlesex County
Middlesex sits on the boundary where the Piedmont gives way to the Coastal Plain, and the ground changes with it. The southern half has sandier soil that drains differently from the clay we deal with in Essex, and base depth gets specified accordingly rather than by habit.
Sandier ground is easier to dig and less prone to holding water, which sounds like good news and partly is. It also compacts differently, so the same stone depth does not automatically give the same result. This is exactly the reason we look at the ground before quoting.

Questions we get asked here
Is the soil in Middlesex County different from Essex?
In the southern half, yes. Middlesex straddles the boundary where the Piedmont gives way to the Coastal Plain, so the ground gets sandier heading south, and it drains and compacts differently from the clay we deal with further north.
Does sandy soil mean a shallower base?
Not automatically. It digs more easily and holds less water, which helps, but it also compacts differently. The specification follows the ground rather than the habit.
