3/4 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for St. Agatha, ME

For gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Agatha, ME, Maine Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton.

Type A gravel is the Maine base course, and washed stone is what handles water.

Ground here sits on the Aroostook plateau and Saint John uplands, where deep snowpack melts fast over ground still frozen below. Water needs somewhere to go.

Materials for St. Agatha Projects

Start with drainage. A downspout run, a French drain or a drywell only works if the stone around it stays open, and that means washed stone with the fines taken out.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as 3/4 inch washed stone, is the standard size for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. It sheds water instead of holding it.

Step down to 3/8" Crushed Stone for narrow trenches and tight drainage work where 3/4 inch is too coarse. #4 Crushed Stone, the 1 1/2 inch size, goes in under heavy drainage and wet subgrade.

For foundation drains, curtain drains and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the washed drainage stone those details call for. #57 Stone and #67 Stone give a clean base under slabs and pads.

Then build the driving surface.

Over that goes Driveway Gravel, the 3/4 inch crushed gravel Maine yards sell as the running surface on a gravel drive.

Below the base, Bank Run Gravel is unprocessed pit gravel. It fills, raises grade and builds a rough subbase, but it is a filler course, not a finished surface.

Flatwork and finish work take finer material. Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and walkway stone.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, or pea stone, suits walkways, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil is screened loam for seeding and finish grading, and Garden Soil is the richer blend for raised beds and vegetable gardens.

Ground and Conditions in St. Agatha

This is the shortest working season in Maine. The ground stays frozen for much of the year, base and paver work waits for a late breakup, and hard frost returns early in the fall.

Frost runs deepest and longest here, with little midwinter thaw before a hard breakup heaves and softens gravel roads and drives. The town or city building official gives the footing depth figure.

Snowpack is deep and the melt arrives all at once into ground still frozen below. Silt loam farm soils run and crust when saturated, so water moves across the surface instead of soaking in.

That is why drainage stone belongs in the plan from the start. A downspout run, a French drain or a drywell gives meltwater a path away from the base, and washed stone keeps that path open.

Erosion follows the same water. Sheet and gully erosion cuts long cultivated slopes during snowmelt and heavy rain, and ditch and culvert scour works on the farm road network.

Riprap armours culvert outlets and ditch checks.
