3/4 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Levant, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Levant, ME, and washed stone is where a wet yard starts. Dense till sheds water sideways instead of down, so ground here sits saturated through snowmelt.

Type A gravel builds the drive. Washed stone moves the water away from it.

Materials for Levant Projects

Water needs somewhere to go. In this part of the state, dense till with a hardpan layer pushes it sideways, and a downspout that ends at the lawn sends it straight back to the foundation.

Washed stone gives it a path out.

Start coarse. #4 Crushed Stone, sold here as 1 1/2 inch stone, stabilizes soft ground and handles heavy drainage before anything finer goes on top.

Then the size that does the work underground. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed stone for French drains, drywells, downspout runs and pipe bedding.

It is clean and open, so water passes through instead of sitting in it.

Where a trench is narrow or the work is tight, drop to 3/8" Crushed Stone. It fits small drainage runs and fine top dressing where the coarser stone is too big.

For a foundation drain or a curtain drain, Drain Rock covers the same ground under the name plans use. Underdrain material, washed stone, whichever term your plan carries.

Once the water has a route, build the surface. Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

It compacts into a firm driving surface for drives, parking pads and camp roads.

Finish a drive with Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell as the running surface. For a camp road or a rough subbase, Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies and fills and raises grade.

Ground and Conditions in Levant

Plan around the season. Frost has to be fully out before a base can be compacted, and the window closes earlier in the northern hill towns than it does down south.

Time a delivery for a base course to that window.

Interior winters here run deep frost and a heavy thaw. Gravel roads and drives heave and soften well into spring, which is why a drainage layer under the surface earns its place.

Snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on the long hill runs. Riprap armours culvert outlets and ditch checks, and it holds where exposed till would gully.

Where ground stays wet, 1 1/2 inch stone goes in first to stabilize it before a gravel course follows.
