Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Smithfield, ME

When you price gravel and aggregate delivery in Smithfield, ME, the job usually starts with the base. Maine Rock Supply sells Type A gravel and the rest of the bulk materials by the ton, delivered to sites in Somerset County.

This is stony till country, so the material you put down matters more than the acreage you cover.

Materials for Smithfield Projects

Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and it is what a drive, parking pad, camp road or shed base starts with. It is crushed gravel, so the particles lock together under a tire.

Order it as Type A Gravel and put it where the load will land, because a dump truck tips one pile and leaves.

Bank run gravel is the rough course under that base. It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler for raising grade, not a driving surface.

On top, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the running surface for a gravel drive. Driveway Gravel is the size Maine yards send for that top course.

Where water has to move rather than sit, you want washed stone. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes in drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and it stays open enough to shed water.

Tighter work takes smaller stone. 3/8" Crushed Stone fits narrow trenches and fine drainage, and Stone Dust is the bedding under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

Sand and soil round out the list. Washed Sand goes under concrete and paver beds, and Top Soil is screened loam for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

For beds and borders, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock handle walkways, dog runs and dry stream beds.

Ground and Conditions in Smithfield

Water is the driver here, and it arrives two ways: rain through the summer and snowmelt in spring. In the Central hills and Penobscot Valley, dense till with a hardpan layer sheds water sideways rather than down.

That means ground stays saturated well into the thaw, and a drive built on wet subgrade gives way under load. Washed stone is what you put in a drainage trench so water has somewhere to go instead of sitting under your base.

On long hill runs, snowmelt and rain scour ditches, culverts and stream banks, and exposed till on logging and camp roads gullies out. Riprap at a culvert outlet or a ditch check holds that bank in place.

The season is shorter than it is downstate. Frost has to be fully out before a base can be compacted, and the window closes earlier in the northern hill towns.
