Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Greenville, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Greenville, ME, with Type A gravel, crushed stone, sand and soil for drives, camp roads and building pads. Greenville sits in Piscataquis County, in the Maine Highlands.

This part of the state runs on dense stony till, so grading and bed prep usually come first. That is why screened loam, garden soil and fill dirt lead the list here.

Materials for Greenville Projects

Grading and bed prep start with moving material in and shaping what is already there. Fill dirt, screened loam and garden soil do that work before any surface stone goes down.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill, backfill and grade raising. Maine yards and plans also call it common borrow.

It sits under a gravel course rather than on top of one.

Top Soil is sold here as screened loam, which is the trade name for the screened grade. Use it for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Unscreened loam is the rougher grade for filling low spots.

Garden Soil is a blend for raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting beds, where plain loam alone is too lean.

Once grades are set, the base and surface stone take over. Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

It is crushed gravel, not crushed stone, and 1 1/2 inch crushed gravel is the same material at its listed size.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. It is a filler course for bulk fill and rough subbase, not a finished driving surface.

Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that Maine yards sell as the top course on gravel drives and camp roads.

For drainage and flatwork, Stone Dust is the setting bed under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and drives that need to shed water rather than hold it.

Ground and Conditions in Greenville

Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till carries a hardpan layer that sheds water sideways instead of down. Ground stays saturated through snowmelt, while the esker gravels beside it drain freely.

That difference decides what you order. Wet, tight ground calls for a clean washed stone layer to move water away before a compacted base goes on.

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.

Riprap at a culvert outlet or a ditch check holds that edge in place.

The working season is shorter than in southern Maine. Frost has to be fully out before base can be compacted, and the window closes earlier in the northern hill towns.

Spring work often waits.

Interior winters bring deep frost and a heavy thaw that heaves and softens gravel roads and drives well into spring. Frost depth runs about 5 feet in the Bangor area, where the city publishes that figure, and comparable or deeper in the surrounding hill towns.

It is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for your gravel base.

What stone should I use for drainage in Greenville?

For foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains, use washed drainage stone, which Maine plans also call underdrain material. 3/4 inch washed stone is the common size in this part of the state.

For heavy drainage or soft, wet subgrade, step up to 1 1/2 inch crushed stone before a gravel course goes on.
