Materials for Friendship Projects

Decorative stone carries a lot of yard work on the MidCoast. Round stone and large round stone build dry creek beds, edge shoreline lots, and cover beds and borders where broken ledge would look raw.

Match the stone to the project, and the rest follows.

For a gravel drive or a camp road, start with Type A Gravel as the base course, then cap it with Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that Maine yards sell as the running surface.

For a patio, walkway or flagstone setting bed, use Stone Dust. It beds pavers and flatwork, and it is the New England default under walkway stone.

For a drain, a drywell or a foundation trench, use Drain Rock or 3/4 inch crushed stone, a clean washed stone that sheds water instead of holding it.

For beds, borders and tree rings, Shredded Mulch is what Maine yards call bark mulch. For a dry stream bed or a drip edge, River Rock handles the rounded look.

Ground and Conditions in Friendship

Across the Midcoast peninsulas and Penobscot Bay, the ground runs to thin stony till over granite and metamorphic ledge. Marine clay and silt fill the valleys and coves, with pockets of outwash sand and gravel between them.

That mix decides how a base behaves. On the ridges, ledge close to the surface gives water nowhere to go.

In the low ground, clay holds water at the surface through snowmelt and mud season.

An under-built base shows it first. Soft ground needs a clean, angular drainage layer under the gravel course before anything is placed on top.

Wave action and storm surge work on an elaborate shoreline, and culvert outlets and stream crossings scour on steep short runs to the sea. Rip rap armours banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks, and Maine yards sell it in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

Work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, and peninsula access narrows the shoulder seasons at either end. Frost heaves lift gravel drives, camp roads and unpaved landings through repeated freeze and thaw.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.
