Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Cushing, ME

Planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run in Cushing? Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Cushing, ME to your site, from Type A gravel to washed stone, sand and soil.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course, the crushed gravel that carries a drive. Cushing ground runs thin and stony over ledge, so what sits under the surface matters as much as what you see.

Materials for Cushing Projects

Start with the base. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Above the base, driveway gravel, sold as 3/4 inch crushed gravel, gives you the running surface on a gravel drive or camp road. Maine yards sell that size by the inch, and it is what a finished drive wears.

Bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies. It is unprocessed pit gravel for bulk fill, raising grade and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course, not a finished driving surface.

Where water has to move, use washed stone. 3/4 inch crushed stone, often called 3/4 inch washed stone, goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Drain rock handles foundation, curtain and french drains.

For the flatwork and the finish work around a house, stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and pea stone suits walkways, dog runs and play areas. Screened loam covers lawn repair and seeding.

Ground and Conditions in Cushing

Across the Midcoast peninsulas and Penobscot Bay, ledge sits close to the surface. Water has nowhere to go on the ridges, so a base that holds it turns soft fast.

In the low ground between the ridges, marine clay and silt fill the valleys and coves. That ground holds water at the surface through snowmelt and mud season, which is exactly when a drive fails.

Pockets of outwash sand and gravel sit between those two conditions. On ground like that, a clean washed layer under the base lets water through instead of trapping it.

Shoreline work takes a different material. Wave action and storm surge work on a broken shoreline, and culvert outlets and stream crossings scour on the short steep runs to the sea.

Rip rap and large round stone are what hold those edges.

Work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Cold winters here are moderated a little by the bay, and repeated freeze and thaw heaves gravel drives, camp roads and unpaved landings.
