Mason Sand for Patios in East Baldwin, ME

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in East Baldwin, ME by the ton or the yard, and Maine Rock Supply tips it on your site. Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and it is where most ground work here starts.

This is the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, so plan for wet ground. Marine silt and clay sits under the topsoil and takes water slowly.

Ground and Conditions in East Baldwin

Presumpscot clay under the topsoil drains slowly. Yards and drives sit wet through mud season, and flatwork set on a thin base shows it first.

A paver or flagstone patio laid over clay moves when the ground holds water. The surface rocks, joints open, and the stones step out of line.

The fix is a base that carries load and a clean drainage layer under it. Get the subgrade and the stone right and the patio stays put.

Winter still freezes the ground hard and thaws it again and again. Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

Frost depth runs about 4 feet in the southern coastal cities and towns. The local building official sets footing depth, so check before you build.

This is the longest working season in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.

Materials for East Baldwin Projects

Bedding is what makes flatwork last here. Start with the base course, then pick the bed and the joint material.

Type A Gravel

Type A gravel is the Maine base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Use it as the compacted base under a patio.

Stone Dust

Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork. It beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and sets walkway stone.

Mason Sand

Mason sand, also called mortar sand or brick sand, handles mortar, brick and block work. It also lays a fine bed under play areas and above-ground pools.

Washed Sand

Washed sand, also called screened sand or concrete sand, goes into concrete work and paver bedding. Yards also sell underdrain sand for foundation and drainage work.

3/4 Inch Crushed Stone

3/4 inch crushed stone, also called 3/4 stone or 3/4 inch washed stone, drains. Use it in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and under drives that must shed water.
