Mason Sand for Patios in Naples, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Naples, ME, with Type A gravel, crushed stone, sand and loam for drives, pads and flatwork. The ground here runs thin and stony over ledge on the slopes, so what sits under a patio matters as much as the pavers on top.

Order online, pick your quantity by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load at your site in Cumberland County.

Ground and Conditions in Naples

Across the Western mountains and foothills, thin stony till sits over hard bedrock on the slopes, with deeper sandy till on the lower hills. A base that is too thin over that ground shows it fast.

Pavers and flagstone rock, joints open, and the surface settles in patches. The fix is a base that spreads the load instead of punching through to ledge.

Steep slopes push snowmelt and rain down fast, and thin soil over ledge cannot soak it up. Water that cannot get through the ground has to get past your patio, so the bedding layer and the drainage stone under it carry real weight here.

This part of the state also runs a short working season. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost leave a narrow window for base and paver work, so plan your material before that window opens.

Freeze and thaw cycling is hardest in southern Maine, with deep frost on high ground and a late thaw. Gravel drives heave and rut badly as the frost comes out.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.

Materials for Naples Projects

Bedding is where a patio or walkway in Naples either holds or moves. Start with the layer the pavers sit on, then build out the supporting materials around it.

Stone Dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the New England default bedding under pavers, flagstone and patio stone. It packs tight and gives flatwork a stable setting bed.

Under the bedding, Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

Washed Sand, also sold as concrete sand or underdrain sand, works as paver bedding and pipe bedding. Mason Sand handles mortar, brick and block work, and beds above-ground pools and play areas.

For drainage beside flatwork, 3/4" Crushed Stone fills trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. Drain Rock covers foundation, curtain and french drains.

Around the finished patio, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, or pea stone, suits walkways and dog runs. River Rock and Large River Rock, often called round stone, dress dry stream beds and shore edging.

Delivery to Naples and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material is ordered by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, and you can size your load there before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Naples sits in Cumberland County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Brunswick and Westbrook.

If your project needs a second material, order it as its own quantity. That way the pile you get matches the work in front of you.

Questions About Gravel and Bedding in Naples

What gravel is best for a driveway in Naples?

Type A gravel is the Maine base course for drives, parking pads and camp roads. Top it with 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size yards here sell as driveway gravel, for the running surface.

Bank run gravel is unprocessed pit gravel, so it works as bulk fill and rough subbase rather than a finished drive.
