Bulk Gravel Delivery to Milbridge, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Milbridge, ME, by the truckload. Type A gravel is the base course here, the crushed gravel Maine yards sell by the pit and the yard.

Ground on the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens runs from shallow soil over ledge to bog and peat, so what you put down has to suit the spot it lands on.

Ground and Conditions in Milbridge

A thin base over ledge or bog shows itself fast. The surface ruts, pumps, and loses its shape after a wet stretch.

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, water sits on the surface where peat and shallow soil hold it, while outwash ground drains almost too fast and washes out unbound surfaces. The fix is the right stone in the right place, not more of the same material.

Winter works against you too. Long cold winters bring hard frost heaving on gravel roads and camp drives every spring, and the thaw near the water is late.

Fog and damp slow compaction and curing through much of the season, so plan base and paver work for the middle of it. The building official sets footing depth; a frost figure for another town is not a figure for this one.

Materials for Milbridge Projects

Fines and screenings do the detail work on paths and walkways. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default under flatwork, and it beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone.

It also makes a setting bed under walkway stone, where a fine, firm surface matters more than drainage. Order it from Stone Dust.

For a path that has to shed water, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the other answer. Maine yards say pea stone far more often than Natural Pea Gravel, and it suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding.

Where a path wants a finer, cleaner surface, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fill paver joints and thin bedding layers. The numbered designations are spec names here, not yard names.

Underneath it all sits the base course.

For rough subbase and raising grade, bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface. Order it from Bank Run Gravel.

The running surface on a gravel drive is usually 3/4 inch crushed gravel, sold here as Driveway Gravel.
