Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Kennebunk, ME

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Kennebunk, ME runs from the end of mud season into late fall, and that long open window is when Maine Rock Supply puts bulk material on the ground here.

Type A gravel is the base this market builds on, and it is the first call on most drive and pad work.

Ground conditions decide the rest. Marine silt and clay through the lowlands takes water slowly, so a drive that sits wet in March needs the right stone under it, not more stone on top.

Materials for Kennebunk Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Kennebunk job starts. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

On top of that base goes Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that Maine yards sell as the running surface for a gravel drive. Underneath it, Bank Run Gravel works as bulk fill and rough subbase.

Bank run comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it fills and raises grade rather than finishing a surface.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone, often called 3/4 inch washed stone, goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Drain Rock covers foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains, where plans more often say underdrain material or washed stone.

Sand and soil finish the job. Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

Washed Sand serves concrete work and pipe bedding, and Top Soil, sold here as screened loam, takes lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Ground and Conditions in Kennebunk

Water is the driver on the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland side. Rain and snowmelt move slowly through the marine silt and clay that sits under the topsoil, so yards and drives stay wet well into spring.

On the higher terraces the ground changes to sand and gravel outwash and deltas, which drain freely. Stony till and granite ledge show up on the hills.

That mix means two neighbouring lots can behave nothing alike.

Low ground near tidal water backs up in coastal storms and high tides. Storm surge and wave action work the beaches and tidal shore, and bank scour on rivers and tidal creeks follows heavy rain.

Marine clay banks slump where they are cut or undermined.

For a drive or pad, that points to a drainage layer before a surface course. 3/4" Crushed Stone and Drain Rock let water move instead of holding it, and a base course goes on once the subgrade is stable.

This is the longest working season in the state, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly. Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

Frost depth is commonly about 4 feet in the southern coastal cities and towns, and the local building official sets footing depth.
