Ground and Conditions in Castine

Ledge sits close to the surface across this part of Hancock County. A thin base course spread over it will not hold up.

Shallow soil over rock sheds water sideways instead of soaking it down. Any unbound surface has to move that water or it will rut.

Peat and bog ground holds water on the surface, while outwash ground drains almost too fast and washes out. Both cases want the same thing: a clean drainage layer under the driving surface.

The working season is short. A late spring thaw near the water and damp fog slow compaction.

Plan base and paver work for the middle of the season. Frost heaving works on gravel roads and camp drives every spring.

Materials for Castine Projects

Fines and screenings carry a lot of the path and walkway work here. Fine, clean stone beds flatwork and surfaces footpaths without the loose, shifting feel of coarser material.

Stone Dust

Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England bedding under pavers, flagstone and patio stone. It locks tight and gives flatwork a firm setting bed.

Stone Dust is the default setting bed under walkway stone and patio work.

3/8 Inch Crushed Stone

For narrow trenches, tight drainage runs and a fine top dressing, 3/8" Crushed Stone goes where 3/4 inch stone is too coarse. It beds pavers and finishes path surfaces cleanly.

Pea Stone

Pea stone, sold as 3/8 inch pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding. Maine yards say pea stone far more often than Natural Pea Gravel.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a rounded surface that stays loose underfoot.

Type A Gravel

It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Type A Gravel is crushed gravel, so it compacts into a stable surface.

3/4 Inch Crushed Stone

For drainage trenches, drywells and drives that must shed water, 3/4" Crushed Stone stays clean and open. Use it where water has to pass through rather than sit.
