Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Phillips, ME

Maine Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Phillips, ME to driveways, camp roads, pads and garden beds. Type A gravel, the crushed gravel Maine yards sell as the base course, is where a drive or a shed pad starts.

The ground here is thin and stony on the slopes, so grading and bed prep come before anything else. Screened loam, garden soil and fill dirt do that work.

Materials for Phillips Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, then move to the stone that carries the load. Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and it goes down for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Top Soil takes a seedbed and a rough grade. Garden Soil is a blend for raised beds and vegetable gardens, where plain loam alone is too lean.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills under a gravel course. It is bulk fill, not a finished surface.

For the base itself. 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 rather than a finished driving surface. Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel that goes on top as the running surface.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the 3/4 inch washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Drain Rock covers foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains.

Sand and decorative stone round out a job. Mason Sand is mortar sand for brick and block work and a fine bed under play areas.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Maine yards call pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Phillips

Across the Western mountains and foothills, steep slopes push snowmelt and rain downhill fast. Thin soil over ledge cannot soak it up, so the water runs somewhere, and that somewhere is usually your drive or ditch.

That runoff cuts gravel drives and ditches, scours culverts and stream crossings after a hard melt, and works on shorelines with ice and wave action. A drainage layer of washed stone gives the water a path instead of letting it sit against a base.

This part of the state runs the shortest working season outside Aroostook County. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.

The freeze and thaw cycling here is the hardest in southern Maine, with deep frost on high ground and a late thaw. Gravel drives heave and rut as the frost comes out.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.

What stone should I use for drainage in Phillips?

Washed stone is what drainage work calls for, because clean open stone lets water move instead of holding it. Use 3/4 inch crushed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Drain rock covers foundation, curtain and french drains. Where a run is narrow or tight, 3/8 inch crushed stone fits better than the coarser sizes.
