Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pembroke, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Pembroke, ME, with Type A gravel, screened loam and fill dirt on the truck. This part of Washington County sits on coarse sandy till over ledge, so what you put down matters as much as how much.

Order by the ton or the yard, and let each product page calculator size the load before checkout.

Materials for Pembroke Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and it is what you want for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Unscreened loam is the rougher grade for bulk work.

Where plain loam is too lean for raised beds and vegetable gardens, Garden Soil gives you a blended planting mix that holds moisture and feeds roots.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills under a gravel course. It is bulk material, not a finished surface, so it belongs below whatever you drive or plant on.

On top of that base, Type A Gravel is the Maine base course. It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel most Maine yards sell, is the top course on gravel drives and camp roads.

For water, 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and Drain Rock handles foundation and curtain drains.

Sand and decorative stone round out a site. Mason Sand mixes mortar and beds block, while Stone Dust is the New England default under pavers and flagstone.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Maine yards call pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs and play areas, and Riprap armours shore and stream banks.

Ground and Conditions in Pembroke

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, water is the driver. Rain, snowmelt and coastal storms arrive faster than shallow soil over ledge can take them, so water sits on the surface in low spots.

On the outwash barrens, the ground drains almost too fast and unbound surfaces wash out. Both problems point to the same answer: a clean, open drainage stone rather than a fines-bearing material that holds water.

Peat and bog ground is the third case. It stays soft, so a fill and base course has to go in before anything finished sits on top.

This is a short working season. A late spring thaw near the water, plus fog and damp, slows curing and compaction, so plan base and paver work for the middle of the season.

Winters are long and cold with heavy frost, held slightly in check near the water by sea air. Frost heaving on gravel roads and camp drives every spring is normal here.

Frost depth runs about 4 to 5 feet across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, deeper on the inland barrens than at the shore, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Erosion follows the same pattern. The coast sees some of the largest tides in the region, with surge and wave action on exposed granite shoreline, while runoff scours the sandy barrens and culvert outlets.
