Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Searsmont, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Searsmont, ME, from Type A gravel for driveways and camp roads to round stone for beds and dry creek beds.

Ledge sits close to the surface on the ridges, and marine clay fills the low ground between them. Water has nowhere to go in spring, so the stone you choose has to move it or shed it.

Materials for Searsmont Projects

Decorative stone carries a lot of the work here: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover where lawn will not hold.

• River Rock, also called round stone, for dry stream beds, drip edges and bed borders.
• Large River Rock for accent placement, shoreline edging and larger dry creek beds.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Maine yards call pea stone, for walkways, dog runs and play areas.
• Shredded Mulch, sold here as bark mulch, for beds, borders and tree rings.

For hard-working ground, start with the project. A driveway or camp road takes Type A gravel as the base course, then Driveway Gravel at 3/4 inch crushed gravel for the running surface.

Bank run gravel is unprocessed pit gravel. Use it as bulk fill and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course, not as a finished driving surface.

A patio or walkway beds on Stone Dust, the screenings New England crews set flatwork on. A drain or drywell takes 3/4" Crushed Stone, a clean washed stone that sheds water instead of holding it.

Ground and Conditions in Searsmont

Across the Midcoast peninsulas and Penobscot Bay, thin stony till sits over granite and metamorphic ledge on the ridges. Presumpscot marine clay and silt fill the valleys and coves, with pockets of outwash sand and gravel between them.

That clay holds water at the surface through snowmelt and mud season. An under-built base on that ground pumps and ruts, so the drainage layer matters as much as the surface course.

Ledge close to the surface gives water nowhere to go. Where a drive crosses low clay ground, a clean washed stone under the base gives the water somewhere to drain.

Work runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Cold winters moderated by the bay bring repeated freeze and thaw, and spring frost heaves show up in gravel drives, camp roads and unpaved landings.

Frost depth runs about 4 feet along the shore and deeper on the inland ridges, and the local building official sets footing depth. Plan the season around the ground, not the calendar.
