Buy Crushed Stone in Aroostook County, Maine

Aroostook County gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning a real part of any crushed stone job. Choosing the right size and type of crushed stone is what keeps water moving away from the structure rather than pooling inside it.

The county's long cold season and deep frost mean the base layer has to be thick enough to resist heaving. Getting the size right from the start saves a lot of rework later.

How Aroostook County's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Soils mapped in the Aroostook County area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer to avoid water problems. The ground around Aroostook County is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so you can often use a thinner drainage layer under the surface than you would on heavier soil.

About 190 days a year drop below freezing. That long freeze-thaw cycle is what pushes moisture up and lifts a base that was too thin. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to stay stable when the frost line moves down.

Aroostook County gets about 99 inches of snowfall a year. That means plowing will scrape a loose surface, so a compacted crushed stone base or a top layer of a finer product like 3/8" Crushed Stone holds up better. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is easier when you know about 89 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain.
