Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Yarmouth, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Yarmouth, ME for two kinds of buyers: contractors running driveways and pads, and homeowners fixing a wet yard. Type A gravel is the base both groups build on, and the ground here decides how it goes in.

This is the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, where marine clay sits under the topsoil and takes water slowly. That shapes what you put down and in what order.

Materials for Yarmouth Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Yarmouth job starts. Type A Gravel is the Maine base course.

It builds up a driveway, parking pad, camp road or shed base that carries weight.

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

Where grade has to come up first, Bank Run Gravel is the rough subbase. It comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed, so it fills and raises grade rather than finishing a driving surface.

Wet ground changes the order of work. 3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding.

Riprap is the large angular stone for shore and stream bank armouring, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Sand and soil finish the job. Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and Washed Sand goes under concrete and pipe.

Top Soil is screened loam for lawn repair and seeding.

Ground and Conditions in Yarmouth

Water is the driver here, and it arrives three ways: rain, snowmelt and coastal storms. Across the Southern coast and Presumpscot clay lowland, that water hits clay under the topsoil and moves down very slowly.

The result is yards and drives that sit wet through mud season. Low ground near tidal water can back up in coastal storms and high tides, so drainage has to be planned before a surface goes down.

That is why washed stone matters on this ground. A clean, open stone like 3/4 inch crushed stone sheds water instead of holding it, and it belongs in trenches, drywells and pipe bedding rather than in a compacted base.

Erosion is the other half of the same problem. Storm surge and wave action work on the shore, heavy rain scours river and tidal creek banks, and marine clay banks slump where they are cut or undermined.

Riprap armours those edges.

The working season runs from the end of mud season into late fall, the longest in the state. The ocean keeps winter lows milder than inland Maine, but the ground still freezes hard and thaws repeatedly, and gravel drives and walks heave each spring as the frost comes out.
