Bulk Material Delivery in Addison, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Addison, ME to your driveway, camp road or building pad. Type A gravel is the base course this part of Washington County builds on, sold by pits and yards under that letter.

It compacts into a hard running surface for drives, parking pads and shed bases. The rest of the yard covers washed stone, sand, loam and decorative rock.

Materials for Addison Projects

Washed stone handles the water problems that come with living this close to the coast. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone that lets water move instead of holding it.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the workhorse for drainage trenches and drywells, and for drives that have to shed water rather than trap it. Local yards also call it 3/4 inch washed stone.

Drain Rock goes into foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains. On plans in Maine it usually shows up as underdrain material or washed stone.

For downspout runs and tight trench work, 3/8" Crushed Stone fits where the coarser size will not. It also works as a fine top dressing.

Heavy drainage and soft, wet subgrade call for #4 Crushed Stone, the 1 1/2 inch size that stabilizes ground before a gravel course goes down.

Once the drainage is in, the driving surface matters. Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that Maine yards sell as the top course on drives and camp roads.

Above the stone, Top Soil is screened loam for lawn repair and seeding. Shredded Mulch finishes beds, borders and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Addison

The working season here is short. A late spring thaw near the water, then fog and damp that slow curing and compaction, push base and paver work toward the middle of the season.

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, shallow soil over ledge and wide areas of bog and peat leave water sitting on the surface. Outwash ground on the barrens drains almost too fast and washes out unbound surfaces.

That split is why drainage stone matters as much as base stone. Where water sits, a clean washed layer gives it somewhere to go.

Where ground drains fast, an unbound surface needs the right gradation to stay put.

Erosion is a real driver on the coast, with some of the largest tides on the Atlantic and surge against exposed granite shoreline. Runoff scour on the sandy barrens and at culvert outlets is the inland version.

Winters here are long and cold with heavy frost. Frost heaving lifts gravel roads and camp drives every spring, and the local building official sets footing depth for any structure.

Questions About Gravel in Addison

What gravel is best for a driveway in Addison?

A driveway here usually starts with Type A gravel as the compacted base, then finishes with 3/4 inch driveway gravel as the running surface. Where the ground stays wet or sits over ledge, a clean washed stone layer underneath helps water move.

Bank run gravel works as rough fill under the base course, but it comes out of the pit unprocessed.
