Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Skowhegan, ME online, by the ton or by the yard. Maine Rock Supply delivers Type A gravel, crushed stone, sand and soil to sites across Somerset County.

This ground is dense stony till over slate, schist and granite, and it sheds water sideways instead of down. Pick the material to match the job and the truck tips it where you want it.

Ground and Conditions in Skowhegan

Across the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till sits over a hardpan layer. Water moves sideways through it rather than draining down.

A thin base fails first here. Spring thaw softens the subgrade and a shallow gravel course punches through, rutting and pumping until the drive is unusable.

The fix is a base built deep enough to bridge that soft layer. Compacted Type A gravel carries the load once the frost is fully out of the ground.

Frost goes deep in the interior hills, and the heavy thaw heaves gravel drives well into spring. Base work waits until the ground is ready to compact.

Snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks on the long hill runs. Rip rap armours those outlets and banks where moving water cuts them back.

Materials for Skowhegan Projects

Fines and screenings do the finish work on paths and walkways. Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone.

It packs tight under flatwork and holds a level setting bed. For a garden path or footpath, Stone Dust is the New England default.

Pea stone, sold as 3/8 inch pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding. Maine yards say pea stone far more often than Natural Pea Gravel.

Order 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for those spots.

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

Bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. Use it for bulk fill, raising grade and rough subbase under a crushed gravel course.

Order Bank Run Gravel for fill work.

For the running surface on a gravel drive, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell. Order Driveway Gravel for the top course on drives and camp roads.

Drainage work calls for clean washed stone. 3/4 inch crushed stone, also called 3/4 inch washed stone, suits drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Order 3/4" Crushed Stone where water has to shed rather than sit.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Skowhegan

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and wide enough for a dump truck to reach and tip. Move vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way first.

The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the material out of the road and away from anything you do not want buried.

What is the best base under pavers in Skowhegan?

Stone dust is the setting bed under pavers, flagstone and patio stone across New England. It packs tight and holds a level bed.

Below it, a compacted Type A gravel base bridges the soft till and hardpan that shed water sideways here. Order both and build up from the subgrade.
