Buy Crushed Gravel in Maine

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Maine runs from about 45 to 51 inches. That kind of wet ground needs a base that drains well and stays stable when saturated. Crushed gravel locks together under compaction and handles the moisture better than rounded stone.

Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel throughout Maine by the ton. You order the size that fits your project, and a dump truck brings it to your address.

Maine Weather and Ground Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel

The freeze cycle in Maine works on an unstable base every winter. Across the cities we deliver to, about 148 to 179 days a year stay below 32F. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. That repeated freezing and thawing pushes damp subgrade upward unless the crushed gravel layer is thick enough to resist.

Hydrologic groups D and C/D are the most common soil types across the served cities. These are slow-draining soils. A base on them needs extra depth to keep water from sitting under the gravel. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Maine DOT runs a spring load-restriction program to protect roads during thaw. These restrictions apply to heavy trucks on certain routes. If your delivery falls during that period, the hauler works within the allowed roads.

How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate the tonnage, measure the length and width of your area in feet and multiply by the depth in inches. The result changes with the material's density. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage number before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do seasonal road restrictions in Maine affect delivery?

Yes. Maine DOT runs a spring load-restriction program to protect roads during thaw. The hauler works within the allowed routes, so your delivery may take a longer path during that period. You will still get your crushed gravel, but it could mean a different truck route.

What conditions across Maine should change what I order?

The 148 to 179 freezing days a year and severe ground freezing mean your base must be deep enough to resist frost heave. Low spots that stay wet through spring thaw need a thicker first lift of 1 1/2" crushed gravel. The slow-draining soil groups in most of the served cities also require extra base depth.

How is crushed gravel measured and sold?

Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. The weight depends on the size and moisture content. Use our calculator to convert your project dimensions into tons before ordering.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. The code applies to qualifying orders of crushed gravel or any other material we deliver.
