Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Caribou, ME

If you are planning a driveway, a patio base, or a drainage run in Caribou, you are shopping for gravel and aggregate delivery in Caribou, ME. Maine Rock Supply delivers Type A gravel, crushed stone, sand, and soil across Aroostook County.

The ground here is deep, well drained silt loam over limestone, slate, and calcareous shale. That soil shapes what you need for grading and bed prep before you ever get to a driving surface.

Materials for Caribou Projects

Grading and bed prep are where a lot of Aroostook projects start, and that is where the soil products earn their place. You strip and shape first, then bring in the material the finish work sits on.

Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and it is what you want for lawn repair, seeding, and finish grading. Unscreened loam is the rougher grade, better suited to filling low spots before you seed.

Order Top Soil for either job.

Where plain loam is too lean for what you are planting, garden soil is the richer blend. It goes into raised beds, vegetable gardens, and planting beds.

See Garden Soil for that work.

Fill dirt, also called common borrow, is bulk fill, backfill, and raising grade under a gravel course. It is the material you push around to get the shape right.

Use Fill Dirt when you are building up a pad or a low corner of a lot.

Once the grade is set, the base course comes next. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads, and shed bases.

Order Type A Gravel for it.

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

Order Bank Run Gravel when you need to raise grade before the base goes down.

For the running surface on a drive or camp road, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell. Order Driveway Gravel for the top course.

Ground and Conditions in Caribou

Water is the driver here. Snowpack is deep and the melt arrives all at once into ground that is still frozen below.

The silt loam farm soils run and crust when they are saturated, so a course that holds water will not stay put.

Across the Aroostook plateau and Saint John uplands, erosion shows up as sheet and gully cutting on long slopes during snowmelt and heavy rain, plus ditch and culvert scour on the farm road network. That is why drainage stone belongs in your plan, not as an afterthought.

For drainage trenches, drywells, and pipe bedding, 3/4 inch crushed stone sheds water rather than holding it. Order 3/4" Crushed Stone for that work.

Where a run is narrow or tight, 3/8 inch crushed stone is the finer choice.

The working season is the shortest in Maine. The ground is frozen for much of the year, base and paver work waits for a late breakup, and hard frost returns early in the fall.

Plan your grading and bed prep around that window.

Frost runs five feet or more here. There is no published statewide table, so the town or city building official gives the figure for footing depth.
