Buy Fill Dirt in East Millinocket, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in East Millinocket, ME, with Type A gravel as the base course and a full line of soil, sand and stone behind it.

This is stony till country in the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, so grading and bed prep start with fill and finish with screened loam.

Materials for East Millinocket Projects

Grading and bed prep drive the order of work on most lots here, so the soil and fill side comes first. Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills under a gravel course.

Top Soil, sold as screened loam, is the finish grade for lawns and seeding.

For planting beds, Garden Soil is a blended soil that holds moisture and feeds roots where plain loam runs lean. Shredded Mulch, or bark mulch, covers beds, borders and tree rings.

Base and stone follow the soil work. Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and Driveway Gravel in 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the running surface on a drive or camp road.

Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

Ground and Conditions in East Millinocket

Water is the thing to plan around across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley. Dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water sideways instead of down, so ground stays saturated through snowmelt.

The esker gravels beside it drain freely, which is why the two behave so differently under a drive.

Snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on long hill runs. Exposed till on logging and camp roads gullies, and the Penobscot and its tributaries cut at their banks.

That is where Riprap and Drain Rock earn their place.

For drainage under a slab or a trench, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed stone that sheds water rather than holding it. #4 Crushed Stone, the 1 1/2 inch size, stabilizes soft ground before a gravel course goes on.

The working season is shorter 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.

Interior winters bring deep frost and a heavy thaw that heaves gravel roads and drives well into spring.
