Materials for Burlington Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover carry a lot of outdoor work here, from dry creek beds to bed edging. Round stone and larger round stone are the usual picks where a rounded look is wanted over broken ledge.

River Rock suits dry stream beds, drip edges and borders. Large River Rock works for accent placement, shoreline edging and bigger dry creek beds.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and play areas with a clean, uniform look. Shredded Mulch finishes beds, borders and tree rings.

For a driveway or camp road, Type A Gravel is the Maine base course. Top it with 3/4 inch crushed gravel as the running surface.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. Washed Sand handles concrete work and pipe bedding.

For a drain, Drain Rock serves foundation, curtain and french drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone fills drainage trenches and drywells where water has to shed rather than sit.

Ground and Conditions in Burlington

Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense stony till sits over slate, schist and granite, cut by long esker sand and gravel systems. Marine clay shows up in the lower Penobscot valley, with bog and wet till between the hills.

A hardpan layer in that till sheds water sideways instead of down. Ground stays saturated through snowmelt, while the esker gravels beside it drain freely.

That split matters for base work. An under-built base on wet till softens and moves, so the subgrade and the drainage layer under a gravel course carry the load.

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.

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

Cold interior winters bring deep frost and a heavy thaw that heaves and softens gravel roads and drives well into spring. Frost depth runs about 5 feet in the Bangor area, where the city publishes that figure, and comparable or deeper in the surrounding hill towns.
