Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Farmington, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Farmington, ME for two kinds of buyers: contractors running a schedule and homeowners finishing one project. Type A gravel is the base course most drives and pads start from here.

This part of Maine also sits on thin stony till over hard bedrock, which shapes what you need under a driveway or a lawn.

Materials for Farmington Projects

The work we see most around Farmington comes down to grading and bed prep: leveling a yard, building a garden, filling a low spot before anything hard goes on top. That starts with soil and fill.

Soil and Fill

Top Soil is screened loam, the Maine trade name for the grade used on lawn repair, seeding and finish grading. Unscreened loam is the rougher cut for bulk work.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds and vegetable gardens, where plain loam alone is too lean to grow in.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills before a gravel course goes down.

Base Materials

Type A Gravel is the Maine base course. It builds up driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel is 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size that goes on top as the running surface.

Washed Stone and Sand

3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and in drives that have to shed water rather than hold it. Mason Sand mixes mortar for brick and block and beds play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Farmington

Across the Western mountains and foothills, water drives everything. Steep slopes push snowmelt and rain down fast, thin soil over ledge cannot soak it up, and the valley floors below take what the hills shed.

What that means for a drive or a pad is drainage before surface. 3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean, open stone that lets water pass instead of holding it, so it works in a trench, a drywell or a wet subgrade.

Riprap armours a culvert outlet, a ditch check or a stream bank where runoff scours.

Erosion shows up on steep-slope runoff cutting drives and ditches, at culvert and stream crossings after snowmelt, and along lakeshores from ice and wave action. Building the season around that matters, because this is the shortest working season outside Aroostook County.

Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.

Frost is the other factor. The Western mountains and foothills see the hardest freeze and thaw cycling in southern Maine, with deep frost on high ground and a late thaw, so steep gravel drives heave and rut as it comes out.

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

What stone should I use for drainage in Farmington?

For foundation drains, curtain drains, drywells and pipe bedding, a clean washed stone is what you want, and 3/4 inch crushed stone is the size Maine yards sell for that work. Where the trench is narrow, 3/8 inch crushed stone fits tighter.

For a culvert outlet or a bank taking runoff, riprap is the armouring stone.
