Materials for Acton Projects

Start with the soil and fill grades. Grading and bed prep take screened loam, garden soil and bulk fill, and the aggregate courses go on top of that work.

Top Soil, sold here as screened loam, is the Maine trade name for topsoil. Use it for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Unscreened loam is the rougher grade.

Garden Soil is a blended garden mix for raised beds and vegetable gardens, where plain loam alone is too lean.

Fill Dirt handles bulk fill, backfill and raising grade under a gravel course. Maine plans and yards also call it common borrow.

Under a drive or pad, Type A Gravel is the base course.

Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards stock, is the running surface on a gravel drive or camp road.

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative Grades

3/4" Crushed Stone is 3/4 inch washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. It sheds water rather than holding it.

Washed Sand goes under concrete, pavers and pipe. Mason Sand is the fine sand for mortar and block work.

Stone Dust, also called screenings, is the bedding under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

Round stone, listed in Maine as 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas. Bark mulch covers beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Acton

Water decides how a yard here drains. Rain, snowmelt and coastal storms all arrive on ground that gives water up slowly.

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine silt and clay of the Presumpscot Formation sits through the lowlands. Sand and gravel outwash and deltas cover the higher terraces.

That clay takes water very slowly. Yards and drives sit wet through mud season, and low ground backs up in coastal storms and high tides.

Plan for it with an open drainage layer. Washed stone drains; bank run gravel does not.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course.

Use bank run to raise grade and build a rough subbase. Then cap it with a crushed gravel course.

On stony till and granite ledge, expect shallow digging and hard refusal. Storm surge and wave action work on tidal shore, and marine clay banks slump where they are cut or undermined.

Riprap armours shore and stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks. Maine yards sell it in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

Frost still matters. The ocean keeps winter lows milder than inland Maine, and the ground freezes hard and thaws repeatedly.

Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

Common frost depth in the southern coastal cities and towns runs about 4 feet. The local building official sets footing depth for a build.

The working season is the longest in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.

Winter storms bring the highest flood risk to low coastal lots.

What stone should I use for drainage in Acton?

Use a washed stone rather than a fines-bearing one. 3/4 inch crushed stone is 3/4 inch washed stone, and it suits drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding because it sheds water instead of holding it.

Drain Rock, also called underdrain stone, covers foundation, curtain and french drains. On soft, wet subgrade, #4 crushed stone stabilizes the ground first.
