Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Georgetown, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Georgetown, ME, and the working season here is short. Work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, and access on and off the peninsulas narrows the shoulder seasons at either end.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course for drives, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. Order online by the ton or the yard, pick a delivery date, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Base and driveway surfacing is where most gravel work here starts, and Type A gravel leads it.

Type A Gravel is crushed gravel that compacts into a firm base for a drive, a parking pad or a camp road. It is the structural course, not the finish.

Driveway Gravel is 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size Maine yards sell for the running surface on a gravel drive. It goes on top of the base as the course you actually drive on.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. Use it for bulk fill, raising grade and a rough subbase under a crushed gravel course.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and Drain Rock serves foundation, curtain and french drains.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand covers concrete work, paver bedding and pipe bedding, and Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

Top Soil is screened loam, the Maine trade name, for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading. Garden Soil is a blend for raised beds and planting beds where plain loam is too lean.

For decorative work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs and play areas, and River Rock builds dry stream beds and drip edges.

Ground and Conditions in Georgetown

Water is the driver on the Midcoast peninsulas and Penobscot Bay. Ledge sits close to the surface on the ridges, so water has nowhere to go, and marine clay fills the low ground between them.

That clay holds water at the surface through snowmelt and mud season. A drive over it stays soft long after the rest of the ground has firmed up.

Where ground stays wet, a clean washed stone layer gives water somewhere to drain before a gravel course goes on. 3/4" Crushed Stone and #4 Crushed Stone both work for that, and the larger stone stabilizes soft ground first.

Shoreline work here faces wave action and storm surge on an elaborate coast, plus scour at culverts and stream crossings on steep short runs to the sea. Riprap armours banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks, sold in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

Cold winters moderated by the bay bring repeated freeze and thaw, and spring frost heaves show up in gravel drives, camp roads and unpaved landings. Frost depth runs about 4 feet along the shore and deeper on the inland ridges, and the local building official sets footing depth.
