Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in New Gloucester, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Gloucester, ME, from Type A gravel for a base course to decorative round stone for beds and borders. This part of Cumberland County sits on ground that shapes what you order.

Marine silt and clay runs under the topsoil across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, and it takes water very slowly. That is why base depth matters here before anything else does.

Materials for New Gloucester Projects

Start with the project, because the project picks the stone. Decorative work, beds and dry creek beds want rounded material, while a drive or a pad wants angular crushed gravel that locks up under a load.

For beds, borders and tree rings, Shredded Mulch is what Maine yards call bark mulch, and it does the ground cover job above the soil line. River Rock works for a dry stream bed, a drip edge or a bed border, and many yards here list it as round stone.

Large River Rock suits accent placement and larger dry creek beds where you want a rounded stone over broken ledge. For walkways and dog runs, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the size Maine yards sell as pea stone.

Under flatwork, Stone Dust is the setting bed for pavers, flagstone and walkway stone, and it is the New England default in that role. For a top course on a gravel drive, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel yards sell for a running surface.

Ground and Conditions in New Gloucester

The ground here is the first thing to plan around. Marine silt and clay of the Presumpscot Formation lies through the lowlands, with sand and gravel outwash on the higher terraces and stony till and granite ledge on the hills.

That clay takes water very slowly, so yards and drives sit wet through mud season. Water that cannot drain down through the clay has to move sideways, which is where a clean drainage stone earns its place.

3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding because it sheds water instead of holding it. For foundation drains and underdrain work, Drain Rock is the washed drainage stone plans call for.

Where marine clay banks are cut or undermined, slumping follows, and storm surge and wave action work on the shore. Riprap armours shore and stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks, sold here in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

This is the longest working season in the state, running from the end of mud season into late fall. The ocean keeps winter lows milder than inland Maine, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, and gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.
