Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Norway, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Norway, ME, and Type A gravel is the base course this market builds on.

Norway sits in Oxford County, in the Western mountains and foothills, where thin stony till over hard bedrock shapes what a base has to do.

Delivery to Norway and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order. Bulk delivery covers Norway and the rest of Oxford County, including Rumford, Oxford, Fryeburg, Mexico and Bethel.

Everything arrives as loose bulk material, so have the spot clear before the truck reaches it.

Materials for Norway Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. A pad has to sit above the wet and the frost movement, and that means fill and sub-base before anything else goes down.

Start with Fill Dirt or Bank Run Gravel. Fill dirt, also called common borrow, brings a low spot up to grade.

Bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course and rough subbase rather than a finished driving surface.

Cap that with Type A Gravel, the Maine base course. It is crushed gravel, sold by pits and yards under the Type A letter, and it is what a drive, a camp road or a shed base is built from.

For a finished gravel drive, Driveway Gravel is the top course, and 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell for that running surface.

Water is the other half of the job. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and drives that have to shed water rather than hold it.

Drain Rock serves foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains; Maine plans more often say underdrain material or washed stone.

For flatwork, Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and it is the New England default under flatwork. Washed Sand covers concrete work, paver bedding and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Norway

Across the Western mountains and foothills, the ground runs to thin stony till over hard bedrock on the slopes, with ledge outcropping widely. Lower hills carry deeper sandy till and boulder ground.

Thin soil over ledge cannot absorb much water. Steep slopes push snowmelt and rain down fast, and the valley floors below take what the hills shed.

That runoff cuts drives and ditches and scours at culverts and stream crossings. It also means an under-built base shows quickly, because water reaches the weak layer instead of draining away from it.

This is the hardest freeze and thaw cycling in southern Maine, with a late thaw and gravel drives that heave and rut as the frost comes out. The working season is narrow, so base, driveway and paver work gets a short window.

Questions About Material in Norway

What is the best base under pavers in Norway?

Stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and it is the New England default under flatwork. Below that, Type A gravel is the Maine base course.

On this ground, the base has to shed water rather than trap it, since thin till over ledge sends runoff downslope fast.
