Materials for Strong Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, so that is where this list starts. Screened loam is the Maine trade name for topsoil, and it is what you spread and seed for a lawn or a finish grade.

Top Soil goes down over rough grade, not under it.

Garden soil is a blended planting mix for raised beds and vegetable gardens, where plain loam alone is too lean to grow in. Garden Soil fills a bed; loam topdresses it.

Fill dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills before anything finer goes on top. Fill Dirt builds the shape that loam and gravel sit on.

Under all of it sits the base course. Type A gravel is crushed gravel, and it is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

Type A Gravel is the processed course; bank run gravel comes out of the pit as it lies and is a filler course, not a finished driving surface.

For the running surface on a gravel drive, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size Maine yards sell. Driveway Gravel caps the base.

Where water has to move instead of sit, washed stone does the work: 3/4 inch crushed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Sand and decorative stone round out a job. Mason sand mixes mortar and beds brick and block; washed sand goes under concrete and pavers.

Stone dust beds flagstone and pavers, pea stone covers walkways and dog runs, and rip rap armours a bank or a culvert outlet.

Ground and Conditions in Strong

Across the Western mountains and foothills, steep slopes concentrate snowmelt and rain into fast runoff. Thin soil over ledge cannot absorb it, and valley floors below take what the hills shed.

That shapes what you order. A drive cut into a slope needs a drainage layer of washed stone to move water off the subgrade rather than hold it.

3/4 inch crushed stone and drain rock are clean, open stone for exactly that.

Erosion shows up as runoff cutting drives and ditches, scour at culverts and stream crossings after snowmelt, and bank loss along the water. Rip rap at a culvert outlet or a ditch check slows that water down.

This is also the shortest working season outside Aroostook County. Late mud season at elevation and early hard frost in the fall leave a narrow window for base, driveway and paver work.

Frost comes out slowly here, and gravel drives heave and rut as it does. Footing depth is set by the local building official, so check with the town before you build.

Questions About Ordering in Strong

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Strong?

Yes. Every product is ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose the quantity when you check out.

If you are not sure how much you need, each product page has a calculator you can use before you order. The truck then tips the load at your delivery point.

What stone should I use for drainage in Strong?

Use clean, washed stone that lets water pass instead of holding it. 3/4 inch crushed stone suits drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding, and drain rock, also called underdrain stone, is the washed material for foundation and curtain drains.

For heavy drainage or soft ground, 1 1/2 inch crushed stone stabilizes before a gravel course goes on.
