Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Kingfield, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kingfield, ME, and the calendar matters as much as the material. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost leave a narrow window for base work, driveway repair and paver setting.

Type A gravel is the base course most of that work starts from, and the local pits sell it by that letter.

Materials for Kingfield Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill and soil do the leveling, and the stone goes on after.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Fill Dirt is bulk fill for backfill and raising grade under a gravel course. Local yards and plans also call it common borrow.

Top Soil is screened loam in the trade here, and it handles lawn repair, seeding and finish grading. Unscreened loam is the rougher grade.

Garden Soil is a garden blend for raised beds and vegetable beds, where plain loam alone is too lean. Shredded Mulch, or bark mulch, dresses beds, borders and tree rings.

Base and Driveway Materials

Type A gravel, also called crushed gravel, is the Maine base course.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. Type A Gravel is the material to start from.

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 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the running surface on gravel drives and camp roads.

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative Stone

3/4" Crushed Stone is 3/4 inch washed stone, for drainage trenches, drywells and drives that have to shed water. Drain Rock covers foundation, curtain and french drains, and plans often call it underdrain material.

Mason Sand is mortar sand for brick and block work and for sand under play areas. Washed Sand is screened sand for concrete and paver bedding.

Stone Dust is the New England default setting bed under pavers and flagstone.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, or pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas. Riprap is erosion stone for stream bank armouring and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Kingfield

Across the Western mountains and foothills, steep slopes concentrate snowmelt and rain into fast runoff. Thin soil over ledge cannot absorb it, and valley floors below take what the hills shed.

That runoff cuts drives and ditches and scours at culverts and stream crossings after snowmelt and heavy rain. Ice and wave action work on lakeshore ground the same way.

The ground itself is thin stony till over hard bedrock on the slopes, with ledge outcropping widely. Deeper sandy till and boulder ground sit on the lower hills, and sand and gravel outwash terraces follow the mountain valleys.

Frost cycling is the hardest in southern Maine, with deep frost on high ground and a late thaw. Gravel drives heave and rut badly as the frost comes out.

Frost depth runs about 5 feet or more on high ground and in the valley towns, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Drainage stone belongs where water has to move rather than sit. Use washed stone for trenches and drywells, and keep fines out of those layers.
