3/4 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Parsonsfield, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Parsonsfield, ME, from Type A gravel for a base course to washed stone for drainage work. The ground here decides a lot of that.

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine silt and clay sits under the topsoil and takes water very slowly. A yard or drive on that ground stays wet through mud season, so the base has to be built to shed water rather than sit in it.

Materials for Parsonsfield Projects

Washed stone is the material that keeps a wet site workable. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with no fines in it, because fines hold water and the whole point of the trench is to move water away.

Start with the coarse end. #4 Crushed Stone, sold locally as 1 1/2 inch stone, goes in heavy drainage and wet subgrade where soft ground needs stabilizing before anything else goes on top.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the size for drainage trenches, drywells, pipe bedding and drives that have to shed water rather than hold it. Maine yards also call this size 3/4 inch washed stone.

3/8" Crushed Stone fits narrow trenches and tight drainage work, and dresses the surface where 3/4 inch stone is too coarse. Drain Rock covers foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains.

Then the base and surface materials. Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it works as bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course rather than as a finished driving surface. Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell for a running surface, tops a gravel drive or camp road.

Ground and Conditions in Parsonsfield

This is the longest working season in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, so timing a delivery matters as much as picking the material.

The ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly. Gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out, and a base that drains well comes out of that in better shape.

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, low ground also backs up in coastal storms and high tides.

Erosion is the other side of it. Storm surge and wave action work on the shore, and banks scour on rivers and tidal creeks after heavy rain.

Where marine clay banks are cut or undermined, they slump. Riprap, sold in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch, armours a bank, culvert outlet or ditch check.
