Buy Walkway Gravel in Aroostook County, Maine

Walkway gravel comes in several sizes, from small 3/8-inch pebbles to larger 2 to 3 inch stones. The size you choose affects how the surface feels underfoot, how well it drains, and how much it resists weeds.

In Aroostook County, the ground stays frozen for about 190 days a year. That repeated freezing and thawing can shift a walkway surface if the base is not deep enough, so choosing the right depth under the gravel is as important as the gravel itself.

Local Conditions That Affect Walkway Gravel in Aroostook County

Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. That is one reason to plan your walkway gravel delivery for a dry spell. The county gets about 89 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch falls, so you want the ground firm when the truck arrives.

Aroostook County receives about 41 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage is a real concern. Snowfall adds another 99 inches annually, so a heavy melt can test the surface. A well-drained base keeps the gravel from washing out or becoming unstable.

The soil around the county is mapped in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, you can often get away with less drainage stone under the surface layer than you would in heavier clay areas.
