Washed Sand Delivery for Limestone, ME

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Limestone, ME, Maine Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and tips it on your site. Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and it is the first thing to sort out on a drive, a pad or a camp road.

Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you order. The ground here is deep, well drained silt loam over limestone, slate and calcareous shale, and that soil decides how much base a job needs.

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile where the truck can reach.

Materials for Limestone Projects

Fill and sub-base work carries a lot of jobs here, because raising grade and building up a pad comes before anything finished goes on top. Fill Dirt is common borrow, the bulk material for backfill and for lifting a site to grade.

Over that, Bank Run Gravel is rough subbase. Bank run comes out of the pit as it lies and is not processed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

For a driveway or a camp road, Type A Gravel is the Maine base course. Driveway Gravel goes on top as the running surface, where 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size yards sell for that job.

Under flatwork, Stone Dust is the setting bed for pavers, flagstone and patio stone. For drainage, 3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean washed stone that sheds water rather than holding it.

Ground and Conditions in Limestone

The Aroostook plateau and Saint John uplands carry deep, well drained silt loam over limestone, slate and calcareous shale. That is good farm ground, and it also means an under-built base moves when the soil below it is saturated.

Snowpack is deep and the melt arrives all at once into ground that is still frozen below. Silt loam farm soils run and crust when they are wet, so a pad that was fine in August can soften hard in April.

This is the shortest working season in Maine. The ground is frozen for much of the year, base and paver work waits for a late breakup, and hard frost returns early in the fall.

Frost runs deep here, and the town or city building official gives the figure for footing depth. Erosion shows up as sheet and gully wash on long slopes during snowmelt, and as ditch and culvert scour on farm roads.

Questions About Material in Limestone

What is the best base under pavers in Limestone?

Type A gravel is the compacted base course under a paver patio, and stone dust is the setting bed that goes directly under the pavers. The base carries the load and the bedding levels the surface.

On silt loam ground, the base has to hold up when the soil below it is saturated in spring.
