Start with Type A gravel. Ground here runs thin and stony over ledge on the slopes, so the base under a drive or pad does the heavy work.
Materials Delivered in Oxford County
Base material comes in two grades. Type A gravel is the processed, compacted base course.
Bank run gravel is unprocessed pit gravel that goes in as filler or rough subbase.
Washed stone handles water. Sand beds flatwork and pipe.
Soil and mulch finish the ground around a build.
Type A Gravel in Depth
Type A gravel is crushed gravel, graded to a base specification.
Maine town street standards call the same material out by that letter, and pits and yards sell it that way. The letter describes how material is specified in this state.
Order it for a driveway, a parking pad, a camp road or a shed base. It builds the load-bearing course that takes traffic and holds shape.
Choosing the Right Material
Franklin County sits in the same ground region as Oxford County, thin stony till over bedrock on the slopes with deeper sandy till below. The base and drainage choices are the same there.
Cumberland County is different. It spans more than one zone, taking in the Southern coast and the Presumpscot clay lowland alongside the Western mountains and foothills.
Clay lowland changes the drainage layer. Water that cannot move down through clay needs a clean washed stone to carry it away, so 3/4 inch crushed stone and drain rock do work that a fines-bearing base cannot.
On the stony till and ledge ground, the base course carries the load. Build the drainage first, then the gravel base over it.
Ground Conditions Across Oxford County
Across the Western mountains and foothills, steep slopes push snowmelt and rain down fast. Thin soil over ledge cannot absorb it, and the valley floors below take what the hills shed.
That runoff cuts drives and ditches, scours culverts and stream crossings, and works on lakeshores with ice and wave action. Plan drainage before you plan the surface.
The working season is short. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in the fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.
Freeze and thaw cycling is hard here, with deep frost on high ground and a late thaw. Steep gravel drives heave and rut as the frost comes out.
A building official sets footing depth.
