Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in East Andover, ME

Gravel and aggregate delivery in East Andover, ME runs on a short season. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in the fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.

Maine Rock Supply delivers bulk Type A gravel, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course. Plan the load around the window, not after it.

Materials for East Andover Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most ground work starts here, and Type A gravel leads it. It is crushed gravel, 1 1/2 inch, and it builds the compacted base under drives, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Type A Gravel is the base course. Bank Run Gravel is unprocessed pit gravel used for bulk fill and raising grade, not a finished driving surface.

For the running surface on a gravel drive or camp road, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell for the top course. Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and sets walkway stone.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and in drives that have to shed water rather than hold it.

#4 Crushed Stone is the 1 1/2 inch size for heavy drainage and wet subgrade.

Drain Rock is washed drainage stone for foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains. Riprap armours shore and stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand is mortar sand for brick and block work.

Washed Sand serves concrete work and paver bedding. Top Soil is screened loam for lawn repair and seeding.

Ground and Conditions in East Andover

Across the Western mountains and foothills, steep slopes concentrate snowmelt and rain into fast runoff. Thin soil over ledge cannot absorb it, and valley floors below take what the hills shed.

That shapes material choice. A drive on a slope needs a drainage layer that moves water instead of holding it, which is why washed stone belongs in the trench and around the pipe.

Clean open stone sheds water; it does not compact into a base.

Erosion follows the same water. Runoff cuts drives and ditches, scour hits culverts and stream crossings after snowmelt and heavy rain, and ice and wave action work on lakeshores.

Riprap at those points takes the energy out of the flow.

Ground here is thin stony till over hard bedrock on the slopes, with ledge outcropping widely. Deeper sandy till and boulder ground sits on the lower hills, and sand and gravel outwash terraces run along the mountain valleys and lakeshores.

Frost is the other constraint. The freeze and thaw cycling in southern Maine is hard on high ground, the thaw comes late, and steep gravel drives heave and rut as the frost comes out.

Frost depth runs about 5 feet or more on high ground and in the valley towns. The local building official sets footing depth.
