Garden Soil Delivery for Stockholm, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Stockholm, ME, and the ground here asks a lot of a base. Type A gravel is the Maine base course for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

This is Aroostook County farm ground: deep, well drained silt loam over limestone, slate and calcareous shale. That soil is good farmland and a poor thing to build a drive on.

Delivery to Stockholm and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site.

Delivery covers Stockholm and the rest of Aroostook County, including Presque Isle, Caribou, Houlton, Fort Kent and Madawaska. Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile, so it helps to know where that pile should land before the truck shows up.

Materials for Stockholm Projects

Decorative stone and bed material carry a lot of the work on properties here, and they are what set the finish on a yard. Round stone, bark mulch and garden soil all belong to that side of a project.

For a dry creek bed or a drip edge, River Rock is the rounded stone Maine yards also list as round stone. It sheds water and reads as a natural feature rather than a pile of broken ledge.

Where you want a larger accent, Large River Rock places as shoreline edging or the spine of a bigger dry stream bed. For beds and borders, Shredded Mulch is the bark mulch that finishes a planting bed and holds moisture around shrubs.

Raised beds and vegetable gardens want Garden Soil, since plain loam alone is too lean to grow in. Top Soil, sold here as screened loam, is the grade for lawn repair, seeding and finish grading.

Walkways and play areas take 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Maine yards call pea stone. It is a rounded stone for paths, dog runs and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Stockholm

The soil across the Aroostook plateau and Saint John uplands is deep, well drained silt loam over limestone, slate and calcareous shale. It runs and crusts once it is saturated.

An under-built base on ground like that moves, and the surface above it follows.

Snowpack in this part of the state is deep and the melt arrives all at once, into ground that is still frozen below. Water has nowhere to go, so it sits against a base and softens it.

A clean drainage layer under and beside a drive gives that melt somewhere to travel.

Erosion shows up as sheet and gully washing on long slopes during snowmelt and heavy rain, and as ditch and culvert scour along the farm road network. Riprap armours a culvert outlet or a ditch check, and it is sold in ranges such as 6 inch and 12 to 24 inch.

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

Frost depth here runs 5 feet or more, and there is no published statewide table, so the town or city building official gives the figure for a footing.
