Materials for South Portland Projects

Decorative stone does a lot of work on this coast, and it is where many yards here start. Round stone is the local name for river rock, and it suits dry creek beds, drip edges and bed borders.

For a dry creek bed, pair River Rock with Large River Rock at the edges and turns.

Pea stone, sold as 3/8 inch pea stone, covers walkways, dog runs and play areas. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded, so it stays loose underfoot rather than locking up like crushed stone.

Ground cover and beds usually want a mulch or a soil. Shredded Mulch is what Maine yards call bark mulch, used on beds, borders and tree rings.

Garden Soil is the blend for raised beds and vegetable plots where plain loam is too lean.

For driveways, Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and Type A Gravel goes down first. On top, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the running surface, sold as Driveway Gravel.

For drainage, 3/4 inch crushed stone sheds water rather than holding it. 3/4" Crushed Stone suits trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Patios and walkways bed on stone dust, sold as screenings, under Stone Dust.

Ground and Conditions in South Portland

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

That clay is what punishes an under-built base. A gravel course laid too thin over slow ground ruts and pumps instead of holding, so the base depth matters more here than the surface material.

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

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