Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Greene, ME

Spring runoff moves fast here. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Greene, ME starts with the stone that slows it down.

Maine Rock Supply sells rip rap, Type A gravel and drainage stone by the ton.

Across the Androscoggin and Kennebec valley lowlands, clay under the topsoil holds water at the surface while sand and gravel terraces nearby drain fast. Two lots on the same street can behave nothing alike.

Match the stone to the ground you have.

Materials for Greene Projects

Start big. Slope, swale and bank protection needs coarse, angular stone that stays put when water runs at it.

Riprap is the heavy answer for shore and stream bank armouring, culvert outlets and ditch checks. Maine yards sell it in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

Railroad Ballast locks up under load as a large angular stone. Use it for track work and heavy yard surfaces.

#4 Crushed Stone, called 1 1/2 inch stone in most Maine yards, stabilizes soft ground before a gravel course goes on and handles wet subgrade and heavy drainage.

3/4" Crushed Stone carries drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, plus any drive that has to shed water rather than hold it.

Then work down to the surface. Type A Gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel is the top course, where 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size yards sell for the running surface.

For the finer end: Drain Rock for foundation and curtain drains, Stone Dust for paver and flagstone bedding, Top Soil for lawn repair and seeding, and Garden Soil for raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Greene

Timing matters more than anything else here. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.

On the Androscoggin and Kennebec valley lowlands, the spring comes slower than it does on the coast, and clay ground stays soft longer. Gravel drives and shoulders soften through mud season.

Plan the delivery around the ground, not the calendar.

Inland winters run colder than the coast. Frost commonly reaches about 4 feet in the valley cities and towns and goes deeper on the surrounding hills, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Frost heave and repeated freeze and thaw work on unpaved surfaces all winter.

Runoff and ice-out scour the rivers and their tributaries. Cut slopes gully, and marine clay banks slump where they have been steepened.

Coarse angular stone is what answers both: rip rap on the banks, #4 or 3/4 inch stone in the swales and trenches that carry the water away.
