Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bridgton, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bridgton, ME for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a camp road off a lakeside lane; others are patching a drive that heaves every spring.

Type A gravel is the base course this market builds from, and it is where most Bridgton projects start.

From there the choice depends on what the ground is doing under the load.

Materials for Bridgton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first because everything else sits on them. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Bank run gravel is a different animal. It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it works as bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course rather than as a finished driving surface.

On top of either one, driveway gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell, is the running surface for gravel drives and camp roads.

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

Where a trench is narrow or the work is tight, 3/8 inch crushed stone fits where the coarser size will not.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason sand is the fine sand for mortar, brick and block work.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, covers concrete work and paver bedding. Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, used for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading, while garden soil suits raised beds where plain loam is too lean.

Decorative stone finishes the edges. Pea stone fills walkways, dog runs and play areas.

River rock, often listed as round stone, lines dry stream beds and drip edges, and rip rap armours shore and stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Ground and Conditions in Bridgton

Across the Western mountains and foothills, water is the driver. Steep slopes push snowmelt and rain down fast, and thin soil over ledge cannot absorb it.

Valley floors below take what the hills shed.

That shapes what you put down. A drive on a slope needs a drainage layer that sheds water rather than holding it, which is where washed stone earns its place.

On softer ground, 1 1/2 inch crushed stone stabilizes the subgrade before a gravel course goes on.

Erosion follows the same water. Runoff cuts drives and ditches, scour shows up at culverts and stream crossings after snowmelt, and ice and wave action work at lakeshore edges.

Rip rap at an outlet or a ditch check slows that movement.

The working season is short here, the shortest outside Aroostook County. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in the fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.

Frost comes out slowly on high ground, and steep gravel drives heave and rut as it does. In the valley towns, footing depth runs about 5 feet or more, and the local building official sets the figure for a given job.
