Ground and Conditions in Cutler

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, soil sits shallow over granite and volcanic bedrock. Ledge comes up close to the surface in a lot of spots.

That shallow cover shows up fast on a gravel drive. A thin layer of loose stone over ledge ravels at the edges and ruts under a wheel, because there is nothing under it to spread the load.

The fix is a real base course before any running surface goes down. Type A gravel is the base Maine yards sell for exactly this.

Water is the other half of the picture. Wide areas of bog and peat leave water sitting on the surface, while the outwash barrens drain almost too fast and wash out unbound surfaces.

Winters run long and cold, with hard frost heaving on gravel roads and camp drives every spring. Frost depth runs about 4 to 5 feet on the inland barrens, and the local building official sets footing depth.

The working season is short. A late spring thaw near the water, then fog and damp that slow compaction, push base and paver work toward the middle of the season.

Materials for Cutler Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and sets walkway stone.

It packs tight and holds a flat surface underfoot. Maine yards send it out as the default bedding under flatwork.

Pea stone, sold as 3/8 inch pea stone, covers walkways, dog runs and play areas. It stays loose underfoot and drains well.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the round stone for that job.

For a path that needs to shed water rather than hold it, 3/8 inch crushed stone fills narrow trenches and tight drainage runs. 3/8" Crushed Stone also works as a fine top dressing where 3/4 inch stone is too coarse.

Type A gravel is the base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. It is crushed gravel, and it locks up under a wheel.

Order Type A Gravel for the base, then a running surface over it.

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

Where a drive has to shed water instead of holding it, 3/4 inch crushed stone, also called 3/4 inch washed stone, goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. 3/4" Crushed Stone is that clean, open stone.

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

Bank Run Gravel sits under a crushed gravel course.

Questions About Gravel in Cutler

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure a loaded dump truck can reach it. The truck tips the whole load in one pile, so leave room for it to land and for you to work around it.

Mark anything you do not want buried, such as a culvert end or a buried line.

What is the best base under pavers in Cutler?

Stone dust, also called screenings, is the bedding layer under pavers, flagstone and patio stone. It packs tight and holds a flat surface.

Under that, a compacted Type A gravel base carries the load over the shallow ledge and soft ground common on the Downeast coast.
