Buy Type A Gravel in Union, ME

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Union, ME, the job usually starts with a drive, a pad or a camp road that needs a base under it. Maine Rock Supply sells Type A gravel in bulk, delivered by the ton.

This is thin stony till over ledge country, so what you put down matters as much as how you shape it.

Materials for Union Projects

Type A gravel is the Maine base course.

It goes down as the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases. It is crushed gravel, so it binds and firms up under a vehicle.

On top of that base, Driveway Gravel is the running surface. Maine yards sell 3/4 inch crushed gravel for that top course on gravel drives and camp roads.

Under the base, Bank Run Gravel is bulk fill and rough subbase. It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it is a filler course rather than a finished driving surface.

Where water has to move instead of sit, 3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. It is also used on drives that have to shed water rather than hold it.

For flatwork, Stone Dust is the setting bed under pavers, flagstone and walkway stone. It is also called screenings or crusher dust.

Beds and borders take Shredded Mulch, which Maine yards call bark mulch. It is for beds, borders and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Union

Across the Midcoast peninsulas and Penobscot Bay, ledge sits close to the surface on the ridges. Water has nowhere to go on that ground, so it runs off or stands in the low spots.

In the valleys and coves, marine clay and silt fill the low ground. That clay holds water at the surface through snowmelt and mud season, which is when a gravel drive turns soft.

That is why a drainage layer belongs under a base in wet ground. A clean washed stone like 3/4 inch crushed stone lets water through instead of trapping it.

Erosion shows up on the shoreline and at culverts and stream crossings, where steep short runs carry water fast. Riprap, also called riprap or erosion stone, armours banks and culvert outlets against that scour.

Work here runs from the end of mud season into late fall. Frost heaves lift gravel drives, camp roads and unpaved landings through repeated freeze and thaw, so base work is best timed after the ground settles.
