Materials for Shapleigh Projects

Start with what goes under the finish. Screened loam, the Maine trade name for topsoil, is what you seed into after grading.

Garden soil is a blended product for raised beds and vegetable plots, where plain loam alone runs too lean.

Fill dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills before anything else goes down. Order Top Soil, Garden Soil, or Fill Dirt for the rough work.

Base and Drive Materials

Type A gravel is the Maine base course. It builds driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Order Type A Gravel.

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. Top a drive with 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size Maine yards sell for the running surface.

See Bank Run Gravel and Driveway Gravel.

Washed Stone and Sand

3/4 inch crushed stone sheds water instead of holding it, so it suits drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. 3/8 inch crushed stone fits narrow trenches and tight drainage work.

Order 3/4" Crushed Stone or 3/8" Crushed Stone.

Stone dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and washed sand goes under concrete and pipe. Mason sand mixes mortar for brick and block.

Choose Stone Dust, Washed Sand, or Mason Sand.

Decorative and Surface Stone

Pea stone walks well and beds pipe; Maine yards say pea stone far more often than Natural Pea Gravel. River rock, often listed as round stone, builds dry stream beds and drips edges.

Order 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock.

Ground and Conditions in Shapleigh

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine silt and clay sits under the topsoil and takes water very slowly. Yards and drives sit wet through mud season, and low ground backs up in coastal storms and high tides.

Plan for where the water goes before you plan the surface. Fill dirt raises grade so a gravel course sits above the wet layer instead of in it.

Storm surge and wave action work on the shore, and bank scour on rivers and tidal creeks follows heavy rain. Slumping shows up where marine clay banks are cut or undermined.

Rip rap, sold in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch, armours culvert outlets and ditch checks.

This is the longest working season in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall.

The ocean keeps winter lows milder than inland Maine, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, and gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.
