Materials for Sargentville Projects

Raising grade and building pads is where a job in this ground starts. Fill dirt, also called common borrow, is the bulk material for bringing a low spot up to level before anything else goes on it.

Bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. It works as bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course, but it is a filler, not a finished driving surface.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course.

For a driveway, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell as the top course. For a patio or walkway, stone dust beds pavers and flagstone, and pea stone suits walkways, dog runs and pipe bedding.

For drainage, 3/4 inch crushed stone goes in trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. Riprap armours shore and stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks, and round stone suits dry stream beds and bed edging.

For lawns and beds, screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and garden soil is the richer blend for raised beds. Washed sand covers concrete work and paver bedding, and mason sand covers mortar and block work.

Ground and Conditions in Sargentville

Across the Downeast coast and blueberry barrens, the ground runs from coarse sandy till over granite with ledge close to the surface to broad glacial outwash and pockets of marine clay and peat. That mix decides how much fill a pad needs before a base course goes on.

Where ledge sits high, there is little to dig into, so grade comes up with fill. Where the ground is bog or peat, water sits on the surface and an under-built base moves under a load.

Outwash ground drains fast and washes out unbound surfaces, so a clean drainage stone matters as much as the base. Tides on this coast are among the largest anywhere, and surge and runoff scour work at culvert outlets and exposed shoreline.

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

Winters are long and frost heaves gravel roads and camp drives every spring. Frost depth is commonly about 4 to 5 feet on the inland barrens, deeper there than at the shore, and the local building official sets footing depth.
