Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Gardiner, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gardiner, ME, and the rest of Kennebec County. Sizing a load starts with the calculator on each product page, then the materials themselves.

Start with Type A gravel, the crushed gravel Maine pits sell as the base course for drives and pads. From there, pick the stone, sand or soil your project calls for.

Delivery to Gardiner and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips your load on site as one pile.

Delivery covers Gardiner and the same county, including Augusta, Waterville, Oakland, Winthrop and Vassalboro. Every product page carries a calculator for working out quantity before you order.

Bulk loads arrive by truck, so the drop spot needs to be reachable and clear. Once it is on the ground, the material is yours to move and place.

Materials for Gardiner Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work here, from bed cover to dry creek beds. Round stone is the shape Maine yards sell for that look, and River Rock sets a dry bed or a border edge.

For larger accent work, Large River Rock holds a shoreline edge or a wide dry bed. Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which is shredded bark mulch in Maine yards.

Under patios, walkways and flagstone, Stone Dust is the New England default setting bed. Walkways and dog runs take 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, better known as pea stone.

A drain needs clean washed stone that sheds water, so 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in trenches and drywells. For a patio or drive, build the base first with Type A gravel, then finish with the right top course.

Ground and Conditions in Gardiner

Across the Androscoggin and Kennebec valley lowlands, marine silt and clay sit under the topsoil in places. That clay holds water at the surface, while sand and gravel terraces beside it drain fast.

Two lots on the same street can behave completely differently through snowmelt. On clay ground, an under-built base shows up fast once the spring thaw starts.

Spring runoff and ice-out scour work on the rivers and their tributaries, and cut slopes gully where water runs. Steepened clay banks in these valleys slump when they get wet.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. The window is slightly shorter than on the coast, and spring comes slower on clay ground.

Inland winters run colder than the coast, with deep frost, repeated freeze and thaw, and a mud season that softens gravel drives and shoulders. Frost depth is commonly about 4 feet in the valley cities and towns and deeper on the surrounding hills, and the local building official sets footing depth.
