Materials for Bangor Projects

Start with the base. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Maine base is crushed gravel, not crushed stone.

Below that base, bank run gravel raises grade and roughs in a subbase. It comes out of the pit as it lies, so it fills and levels rather than finishing a driving surface.

On top, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the running surface for gravel drives and camp roads. Order Driveway Gravel for that top course.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4 inch crushed stone, sold as 3/4 stone or 3/4 inch washed stone, goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

3/8 inch crushed stone fits narrow trenches and tight drainage work where 3/4 inch is too coarse. For foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains, Drain Rock is the washed drainage stone.

Sand beds flatwork and concrete. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under pavers and flagstone.

Washed Sand covers concrete work, paver bedding and pipe bedding.

Soil finishes the job. Screened loam, the Maine trade name for topsoil, takes lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Top Soil is that screened grade.

Decorative stone dresses beds and borders. Pea stone, which Maine yards also call Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas.

River Rock, often listed as round stone, builds dry stream beds and drip edges.

Ground and Conditions in Bangor

Water drives the material choice here. Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water sideways instead of down.

Ground stays saturated through snowmelt. The esker gravels beside that till drain freely, so where you sit on the ground changes what you need under a drive.

Snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on long hill runs. Exposed till on logging and camp roads gullies, and banks cut along the Penobscot and its tributaries.

Riprap, sold as riprap or erosion stone, 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.

The working season is shorter than in the south. Frost has to be fully out before base can be compacted, and the window closes earlier in the northern hill towns.

Bangor winters bring deep frost and a heavy thaw that heaves and softens gravel roads and drives well into spring. The city publishes a frost depth of about 5 feet for the Bangor area.

Mark the pile location before the truck arrives. Bulk material on the ground is heavy and stays where it lands, so pick a spot you can work from.
