Mason Sand for Patios in Kittery Point, ME

Planning a patio, a walkway or a fresh gravel drive means getting the base right before anything goes on top, and that starts with gravel and aggregate delivery in Kittery Point, ME. Maine Rock Supply sells Type A gravel, sand, stone dust and loam in bulk and delivers to the job site.

On the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine clay sits under the topsoil and takes water slowly, so what you put under flatwork matters through every thaw.

Ground and Conditions in Kittery Point

Flatwork on this ground fails when the base under it is thin. Clay holds water, frost works it, and a paver patio or walkway starts rocking at the corners within a season or two.

The fix is a base that drains and a bedding layer that stays put. Screened loam, stone dust and washed sand each have a job under pavers and flagstone, and picking the wrong one shows up fast.

This is the longest working season in Maine. 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, so drainage details deserve attention before the ground freezes.

The ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly through the winter, and gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out. Frost depth runs about 4 feet in southern coastal cities and towns, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Materials for Kittery Point Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio lives or dies, so start with the layer that sits directly under the stone. Stone Dust is the New England default here, sold as screenings or crusher dust.

It packs tight, holds a paver course flat and beds flagstone and walkway stone without shifting. Washed Sand works as a paver bedding sand and in concrete, and Maine yards also sell underdrain sand for foundation and drainage work.

Mason Sand is the fine, clean sand for mortar, brick and block, and it beds play areas and above-ground pools. Under a patio base, Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. Bank Run Gravel is unprocessed pit gravel for bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course, not a finished driving surface.

Where water has to move rather than sit, 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. For the running surface on a gravel drive, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell for the top course.
