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

If your drainage is not moving water away from the house, what do you order? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Meddybemps, ME, the answer usually starts with washed stone, and Maine Rock Supply sells it by the ton.

This is shallow ground over ledge and bog, so Type A gravel is the base material for drives and camp roads here. Everything else sorts by size around that.

Water that has nowhere to go is the job here. That means 3/4 inch washed stone, also called 3/4 inch crushed stone, for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

It stays open so water passes instead of sitting.

Where a trench is narrow or the work is tight, 3/8 inch crushed stone goes in. For heavy drainage, wet subgrade or soft ground that needs stabilizing before a gravel course goes on, #4 crushed stone is the large angular size that does that work.

• 3/4" Crushed Stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.
• Drain Rock for foundation drains, curtain drains and underdrain work.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone for narrow trenches and fine top dressing.
• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage and stabilizing soft ground.
• Type A Gravel for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Once the drainage is handled, the driving surface is 3/4 inch crushed gravel, which Maine yards sell as Driveway Gravel. Under that, bank run gravel raises grade as rough subbase.

It comes out of the pit as it lies, so it is a filler course, not a finished surface.

For anything flat, stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. Pea stone suits walkways, dog runs and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Meddybemps

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, the working season is short. A late spring thaw near the water, then fog and damp that slow curing and compaction, push base and paver work toward the middle of the season.

That timing matters when you pick a delivery date. Ground that is still soft will not take a compacted base, so drainage stone and base course are better placed once the thaw has passed.

The ground itself is coarse sandy and bouldery till over granite and volcanic bedrock, with ledge close to the surface. There are also wide areas of peat and bog where water sits on the surface, and outwash ground that drains almost too fast and washes out unbound surfaces.

Both extremes point the same way: washed stone for drainage, and a base course that is placed and compacted while conditions allow. Long cold winters bring hard frost heaving on gravel roads and camp drives every spring.
