Materials for Windham Projects

Fill and sub-base are what build the grade, and the grade is what everything else rests on. A building pad, a raised yard or a drive over low ground all start with bulk fill brought up to level.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, is bulk fill and backfill for raising grade under a gravel course. Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, and works as a rough subbase or a filler course.

Once the grade is set, Type A Gravel is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, camp roads and shed bases.

For the surface, Driveway Gravel is 3/4 inch crushed gravel, the size Maine yards sell for the running surface on a gravel drive. Under pavers or flagstone, Stone Dust is the setting bed, and it is the New England default under flatwork.

Where water has to move rather than sit, 3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. Drain Rock, also called underdrain stone, handles foundation drains and french drains.

Ground and Conditions in Windham

Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, marine silt and clay of the Presumpscot Formation sits under the topsoil through the lowlands. That clay takes water very slowly, so yards and drives sit wet through mud season.

Higher terraces carry sand and gravel outwash, and the hills run to stony till and granite ledge. On ground like that, an under-built base shows up fast: the fill settles, the surface pumps, and the drive never dries out.

This is the longest working season in the state. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, and the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, so gravel drives and walks heave every spring as the frost comes out.

Where a bank is cut into marine clay, slumping is the risk, and low ground near tidal water backs up in coastal storms. A clean drainage layer under the fill gives water somewhere to go.

Questions About Ordering in Windham

What is the best base under pavers in Windham?

Type A gravel is the compacted base course under pavers. On the Presumpscot clay lowland it matters more than usual, because clay takes water slowly and a base that holds water will not stay put.

Stone dust goes on top as the setting bed, since it is the New England default under flatwork.
