3/4 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Corea, ME

Water sits on the surface here, and the fix starts below it. Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Corea, ME, from Type A gravel for drive bases to washed stone for drainage.

Shallow soil over ledge and wide stretches of bog leave runoff with nowhere to go. Washed stone gives it a path.

Materials for Corea Projects

Drainage work on this ground calls for clean, open-graded stone. Water moves through the voids instead of pooling against a foundation or under a drive.

Washed stone for drains and drywells

3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. It sheds water rather than holding it.

Drain Rock covers foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains. Local plans often call this underdrain material or washed stone.

#4 Crushed Stone is the coarse end, sold by inch size as 1 1/2 inch stone. It stabilizes soft ground before a gravel course goes on.

3/8" Crushed Stone fits narrow trenches and tight drainage work where the larger stone is too coarse.

Base and surface gravel

Type A Gravel is the Maine base course. It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel is 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size Maine yards sell for the running surface on a gravel drive.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. It fills, raises grade and roughs in a subbase under a crushed gravel course.

Bedding, sand and soil

Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone. It is the New England default under flatwork.

Washed Sand goes into concrete work, paver bedding and pipe bedding. Mason Sand handles mortar, brick and block.

Top Soil is screened loam for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading. Garden Soil feeds raised beds where plain loam runs lean.

Ground and Conditions in Corea

The working season is short. A late spring thaw near the water, then fog and damp, slow curing and compaction, so base and paver work fits best in the middle of the season.

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, shallow soil over ledge and wide areas of bog and peat leave water sitting on the surface. Outwash barrens drain almost too fast and wash out unbound surfaces.

Frost heaves gravel roads and camp drives every spring. Long cold winters with heavy frost are held slightly in check near the water by sea air.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.

Tides on this coast are among the largest anywhere, with surge and wave action on exposed granite shoreline. Runoff scours the sandy barrens and culvert outlets, which is where rip rap and drainage stone earn their place.
