Materials for Dover-Foxcroft Projects

Raising grade and building pads are the work that sets everything above them. Get the fill and sub-base right and the finish course has something to sit on.

For bulk fill, backfill and raising grade, Fill Dirt is the rough material that brings a low pad up. Bank Run Gravel does the same job as a rough subbase under a crushed gravel course.

It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so treat it as a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

On top of that goes the base course.

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

Where the surface has to shed water rather than hold it, 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that Maine yards sell as the running surface on a gravel drive.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Dust is the New England setting bed under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. Top Soil, sold here as screened loam, finishes the grade around the work for lawn repair and seeding.

Ground and Conditions in Dover-Foxcroft

Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, the ground is rolling uplands of dense stony till over slate, schist and granite. That till holds a hardpan layer, and hardpan sheds water sideways instead of letting it down.

The result is ground that stays saturated through snowmelt. A pad or drive built on that without enough sub-base moves and settles once the thaw arrives, so the fill and base work is not a step to trim.

Snowmelt and rain also scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on long hill runs. Exposed till on camp roads and logging roads gullies, which is where rip rap and clean drainage stone earn their place.

The working season is shorter here than in southern Maine. Frost has to be fully out before base can be compacted, and the window closes earlier in the northern hill towns, so timing a grade-raising job matters.
