Ground here sits on marine silt and clay through the lowlands. That shapes what you put under a drive, a pad or a patio.

Ground and Conditions in Biddeford

Presumpscot clay under the topsoil takes water very slowly. Yards and drives sit wet through mud season, and low ground near tidal water backs up in coastal storms and high tides.

A thin base shows that fast. Water trapped under a shallow lift works the material loose, and the surface ruts and pumps instead of holding.

The fix is a base that carries load and sheds water. Start with a compacted Type A gravel course, and put clean washed stone where drainage has to move.

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, the working season runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

Frost depth in the southern coastal cities and towns is commonly about four feet. The local building official sets footing depth.

Materials for Biddeford Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where this market lives. Get the setting bed right and the surface stays flat; get it wrong and every paver follows the base down.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. Order Type A Gravel for the compacted base under any of them.

Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork. It beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and sets walkway stone.

Order Stone Dust for the setting bed.

Washed sand, also called screened sand or concrete sand, beds pavers and pipes and mixes into concrete work. Maine yards also sell underdrain sand for foundation and drainage work.

Order Washed Sand where a clean fine bed is wanted.

3/4 inch crushed stone, also called 3/4 stone or 3/4 inch washed stone, drains. Use it in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and under drives that have to shed water rather than hold it.

Order 3/4" Crushed Stone for those runs.

Bank run gravel, also called bank run or pit run gravel, is bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course. It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

Order Bank Run Gravel to raise grade before the base goes on.

Screened loam, also called loam or screened topsoil, finishes lawns and seed beds. Order Top Soil for lawn repair and finish grading.
