Buy Type A Gravel in Garland, ME

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Garland, ME by the ton or by the yard, and Maine Rock Supply tips it on your site. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for drives, camp roads and parking pads.

Start with the material, then set the quantity. Rolling uplands of dense stony till over slate and granite shape what a base has to do here.

Materials for Garland Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Garland ground work starts.

It packs into a driving surface for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Under that base course, Bank Run Gravel handles bulk fill and raising grade. Bank run comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

For the running surface on a drive or camp road, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell for that job. It goes over a compacted base and takes the traffic.

Washed Stone, Sand and Soil

Washed stone drains instead of holding water. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and under drives that have to shed water.

For tight drainage work and narrow trenches, 3/8" Crushed Stone fits where the coarser size will not.

Under flatwork, Stone Dust is the New England default bedding for pavers, flagstone and patios. On walkways and dog runs, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers the ground without packing hard.

Soil and sand round out a site. Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and it takes seeding, lawn repair and finish grading.

Garden Soil is a blend for raised beds and vegetable gardens where plain loam runs too lean. Mason Sand mixes mortar and beds block, and Washed Sand covers concrete work and paver bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Garland

Water is the driver on this ground. Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water sideways rather than down, so ground stays saturated through snowmelt.

Esker gravels beside it drain freely, which is why two sites a mile apart behave differently.

Plan for that. A camp road or drive cut into wet till needs a drainage layer under the base so water has somewhere to go.

Clean washed stone moves water; a fines-bearing material holds it.

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

Riprap and ditch checks slow that down.

The working season is shorter here than in the south. 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 softens gravel roads well into spring.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at the site.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk material comes off the bed in a single pile, so the spot you choose is where the pile stays.

Keep the approach open for a loaded truck.
