3/4 Inch Crushed Stone Delivery for Eagle Lake, ME

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Eagle Lake, ME for a pad, a drive or a camp road? Maine Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it to your site.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and it is what most grade work here is built on.

This part of Aroostook County sits on deep silt loam over limestone, slate and calcareous shale. That farm ground is good under a lawn and weak under an under-built pad.

Materials for Eagle Lake Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the job here, so start below the surface you want to see. Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill, the material that brings a low spot up to a working elevation before any gravel goes down.

Above that, Bank Run Gravel gives you a rough subbase. Bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies and is not processed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

Then cap it with Type A Gravel. It is the crushed gravel base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Where a pad has to shed water instead of hold it, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the size Maine yards sell for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. Tight drainage work calls for 3/8" Crushed Stone, and Stone Dust is the setting bed under pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Eagle Lake

Across the Aroostook plateau and Saint John uplands the silt loam farm soils run and crust when they are saturated. The snowpack is deep and the melt arrives all at once into ground that is still frozen below.

That matters for a pad. A base put straight onto that silt loam softens at breakup, so the fill and subbase courses carry the load and the surface course stays on top of them.

This is also the shortest working season in Maine. The ground is frozen for much of the year, base and paver work waits for a late breakup, and hard frost returns early in the fall.

Frost runs deepest here, and your town or city building official gives the footing figure.

On long slopes, snowmelt and heavy rain cut sheet and gully erosion, and ditch and culvert scour shows up on the farm road network. Riprap at a culvert outlet or a ditch check slows that water down before it takes the shoulder with it.

Questions About Ordering in Eagle Lake

What is the best base under pavers in Eagle Lake?

Build from the bottom up. Bring the grade to elevation with fill dirt, add a bank run gravel subbase, then a Type A gravel base course over that.

Stone dust goes directly under the pavers as the setting bed. On this ground the fill and subbase courses do the real work, because the silt loam below softens at breakup.
