Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Robbinston, ME

It goes down as the compacted layer your drive or building pad sits on.

Materials for Robbinston Projects

Fill and sub-base do the heavy work on most lots here. Raising grade and building up a pad starts with material that goes down rough and gets covered later.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill, also called common borrow. It backfills and raises grade under a gravel course.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. It is a filler course for rough subbase, not a finished driving surface.

Type A Gravel is the crushed gravel base that caps that fill.

For the running surface on a gravel drive or camp road, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell for that job.

Where a drive has to shed water rather than hold it, 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches and drywells. It is also called 3/4 inch washed stone.

What to order for a driveway

Bank run gravel builds the rough subbase, then Type A gravel caps it as the compacted base. Driveway Gravel finishes the surface.

What to order for a patio

Stone Dust is the setting bed under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. It is also called screenings or crusher dust.

What to order for a drain

Drain Rock handles foundation drains, curtain drains and french drains. Plans here often call it underdrain material or washed stone.

Ground and Conditions in Robbinston

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, the ground runs to coarse sandy and bouldery till over granite and volcanic bedrock. Ledge sits close to the surface in a lot of places.

That shallow soil leaves water sitting on top rather than draining away. A pad built straight on it without enough fill underneath will move when the ground freezes.

Bog and peat ground behaves the same way, and it is soft enough that a base needs real depth before anything goes on top. Order the fill and sub-base first, then cap it.

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

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