Ground and Conditions in Newport

Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till over a hardpan layer sheds water sideways instead of down. Ground stays saturated through snowmelt.

A thin base shows it first. The surface pumps, ruts and dishes out where the water cannot get away.

Fix it with the right stone, not more of the wrong one. Underdrain material and washed stone give water somewhere to go.

Frost runs deep through the interior here. A long freeze and a heavy thaw heave gravel drives and camp roads well into spring.

Frost has to be fully out before base can be compacted. The season closes earlier in the northern hill towns than it does to the south.

Snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on long hill runs. Exposed till on logging and camp roads gullies fast.

Materials for Newport Projects

Screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Stone dust, also called crusher dust, is the setting bed under flatwork and the surface under a footpath.

It packs tight and stays put. Use it under pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and for a walkway that has to hold a clean edge.

Pea stone, which Maine yards also call 3/8 inch pea stone, is the other path material. It goes on walkways, dog runs and play areas, and beds pipe.

Rounded, so it moves underfoot. That is what you want in a play area and what you do not want under a paver.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course. You will also hear it called crushed gravel or 1 1/2 inch crushed gravel.

It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. It links to Type A Gravel.

Under it, Bank Run Gravel raises grade and roughs in a subbase. It comes out of the pit as it lies, so it is a filler course and not a driving surface.

Over it, Driveway Gravel is the top course, and Maine yards sell the 3/4 inch crushed size for that running surface.
