Materials for Kittery Projects

Decorative stone does the finish work on a lot of coastal properties. Round stone, sold in most Maine yards as river rock, lines dry creek beds that move roof and yard water away from a foundation.

It also dresses drip edges, borders and bed edges where broken ledge would look out of place.

Large river rock suits accent placement and shoreline edging. It reads as a rounded stone rather than angular, which fits a beach-side yard better than crushed material.

Pea stone, the 3/8 inch size, covers walkways, dog runs and play areas. It beds pipe too.

Bark mulch handles beds, borders and tree rings, and shredded mulch is the name Maine yards use for it.

Under the decorative layer, the working materials are Type A gravel and stone dust.

Stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone.

Ground and Conditions in Kittery

Marine silt and clay of the Presumpscot Formation runs through the lowlands here, with sand and gravel outwash on the higher terraces and salt marsh along the shore. Clay under the topsoil takes water very slowly.

Yards and drives sit wet through mud season, and low ground near tidal water backs up in coastal storms.

That clay is why an under-built base shows itself. A drive laid on a thin course over wet clay ruts and pumps.

Type A gravel is the crushed gravel base that carries a drive, and it goes down over ground that has been shaped and drained first.

Storm surge and wave action work on the beaches and tidal shore. River and tidal creek banks scour after heavy rain, and marine clay banks slump where they are cut or undermined.

Riprap armours those banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks. Maine yards sell it in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

This is the longest working season in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.

Winter storms bring the highest flood risk to low coastal lots.

The ocean keeps winter lows milder than inland Maine, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly. Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

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