A dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Bustins Island sits in Cumberland County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Brunswick and Westbrook.

Bulk loads are heavy, so plan where the pile lands before the truck arrives. Fill and sub-base go down first, which means the pile position matters for the rest of the work.

Materials for Bustins Island Projects

Raising grade and building pads starts with fill, and the finished surface comes after. Bulk fill and sub-base lift a low lot or level a pad before anything else goes on top.

Use Fill Dirt for bulk fill, backfill and raising grade under a gravel course. Maine yards and plans also call bulk fill common borrow.

Use Bank Run Gravel for bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course. Bank run comes out of the pit as it lies, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

Use Type A Gravel for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Use Driveway Gravel as the top course on gravel drives and camp roads. The 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell for the running surface.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. Pea stone and 3/4 inch crushed stone handle drainage work where water has to shed rather than sit.

Ground and Conditions in Bustins Island

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine silt and clay sit under the topsoil. That clay takes water very slowly, so yards and drives sit wet through mud season.

An under-built base on ground like that pumps and ruts. Fill and sub-base placed first keep the finished course above the wet layer instead of in it.

Low ground near tidal water backs up in coastal storms and high tides, and storm surge works on the shore. Riprap armours banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where that movement is a problem.

This is the longest working season in the state, running from the end of mud season into late fall. The ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, so gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.
