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

Wondering what to order for a wet yard or a driveway that will not firm up? Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Monson, ME, and Type A gravel is the Maine base course most drives and pads start from.

Around Monson the ground is dense stony till that sheds water sideways instead of down, so drainage stone usually does more for the job than another inch of base.

Materials for Monson Projects

Washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs are where most wet-ground jobs in Monson land, so start with a clean open stone that lets water move rather than hold.

For a French drain or a drywell, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the size Maine yards sell by the inch, and it is called 3/4 inch washed stone when it is washed clean. Drain Rock is the same family under the name plans use for underdrain material.

Where the trench is narrow, 3/8" Crushed Stone fits tight drainage work that 3/4 inch stone is too coarse for.

Drywells and deep wet subgrade take #4 Crushed Stone, sold here as 1 1/2 inch stone, which is the heavy end for stabilizing soft ground before a gravel course goes over it. #57 Stone and #67 Stone cover clean drainage and backfill where a slightly smaller washed stone is wanted.

Once the water has somewhere to go, the driving surface goes on. Type A Gravel is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell as a running surface, sits on top of it.

Under a wet drive, Bank Run Gravel raises grade as an unprocessed filler course. It comes out of the pit as it lies, so it is not a finished driving surface.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, does the same job for bulk fill and backfill.

Flatwork and planting round out a Monson order. Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone.

Top Soil is screened loam here, the grade for lawn repair and seeding, and Garden Soil is the richer blend for raised beds. Edges and shaded borders take Shredded Mulch, which is bark mulch to any Maine yard.

Ground and Conditions in Monson

Central hills and Penobscot Valley ground sets the schedule here. The season is shorter than in southern Maine, and frost has to be fully out before a base course can be compacted.

Dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water sideways rather than down, so ground stays saturated through snowmelt. That is why a drainage layer matters more than extra depth on a wet Monson drive.

Snowmelt and rain also scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on long hill runs, and gullies open in exposed till on logging and camp roads. Riprap is the fix for culvert outlets and ditch checks, and it is sold in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

Winter here brings deep frost and a heavy thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives well into spring. Plan the delivery date around that window rather than against it.
