“My husband and I are both over seventy and couldn't keep hauling gravel by hand anymore, so we called Maine Rock Supply for the #4 to fix the erosion at the bottom of our driveway in Bethel. About four tons filled in where the spring runoff kept carving a gully. The driver eased the truck up our narrow lane without any trouble and dumped it exactly where we marked with stakes.”

Skipping an open aggregate course below a camp road is a common way to invite trouble during Maine mud season. Glacial till over ledge can limit downward drainage, while deep frost and repeated freezing and thawing work on moisture left below the surface. #4 Crushed Stone has a crushed, angular form with open spaces that let water move through the material.
Set #4 Crushed Stone in the support course under a driveway or parking area where drainage must move sideways across ledge-prone ground. The material is intended for heavy traffic support, drainage applications, and erosion control, not as a tight finished driving surface. That open structure can be especially useful around camp roads, frost-wall backfill, and drainage routes where wet ground must be managed before winter conditions arrive.

Customer Reviews
Good base stone, some oversized pieces
Ordered ten tons of #4 for a drainage swale behind a client's property in Auburn. Delivery window was tight, right at 8am like promised, and the driver placed it perfectly along the fence line. Only complaint is a handful of rocks closer to six inches than the two inches I expected, which slowed down raking it level. Still did the job for keeping that low spot from flooding every spring.

Camp road base survived two mud seasons
We used the #4 as the base under a long camp road out past Rumford, about eighteen tons total. The tri-axle backed in tight to the tree line and dumped in three spots so my skid steer operator didn't have to haul it far. Six months and two mud seasons later there's not a soft spot anywhere on that stretch.

Barnyard finally drains after rain
Our barnyard up near Presque Isle turns into a swamp every hard rain off the potato fields, with cows sinking past their hocks by the gate. We brought in twenty two tons of #4, way more than the pit run we tried two years back from a local quarry that never held up past one winter. The tandem truck came right up the farm lane and dumped it in three piles so my son could spread it before dark. Six months of freeze and thaw later, the gate area is solid, the cows walk right across, and my boots stay dry doing chores in April.

Farm lane held up through spring thaw
Six tons of #4 went down on the lane between the potato barn and the county road. It handled spring thaw without turning to soup. The tandem dropped it right where the loader could reach. Money well spent before planting.

Erosion fix for our steep driveway
My husband and I are both over seventy and couldn't keep hauling gravel by hand anymore, so we called Maine Rock Supply for the #4 to fix the erosion at the bottom of our driveway in Bethel. About four tons filled in where the spring runoff kept carving a gully. The driver eased the truck up our narrow lane without any trouble and dumped it exactly where we marked with stakes.
