Whether you are building a driveway, laying a path, or creating a base for a patio, gravel and rock provide the strength and drainage that Maine ground demands.

How Maine's Weather and Ground Affect Gravel and Rock Orders

Across the cities we deliver to in Maine, annual precipitation runs from about 45 to 51 inches. Freezing days range from 148 to 179 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, which means repeated freeze-thaw cycles can shift a shallow base.

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. The most common soil types across served cities fall into hydrologic groups D or C/D, meaning slow drainage. That makes the base depth under gravel more important: a thicker layer of crushed stone or road base keeps moisture from softening the ground underneath.

Maine DOT runs a spring load-restriction program that limits heavy truck loads during the thaw. This program can affect delivery timing for gravel and rock, so planning ahead avoids delays.

How Much Gravel and Rock You Need

Gravel and rock is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons a job requires, multiply the length by the width by the depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by the weight per cubic yard for the specific material. Our material calculators do that math for you once you enter the dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel and Rock in Maine

What conditions across Maine should change what I order?

Annual precipitation across our served cities runs from 45 to 51 inches, and freezing days range from 148 to 179 days a year. The severe frost band and slow-draining soils (hydrologic groups D and C/D) mean that a thicker crushed stone base is recommended under gravel to keep the surface stable through spring thaw and heavy rain.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Maine affect delivery?

Yes. Maine DOT runs a spring load-restriction program that limits heavy truck loads during the thaw. This can affect delivery timing for gravel and rock, so we recommend ordering ahead of that period when possible.

What sizes of gravel and rock are available?

We stock sizes from 3/8-inch pea gravel up to 2-4 inch river rock. In between you can get 1-2 inch river rock, drain rock, decomposed granite, crusher run, and road base. The product table above shows each size and its uses.

How is gravel and rock measured and sold?

Gravel and rock is sold by the ton. The weight per cubic yard varies by material, so our calculator converts dimensions into tons. You order online and the price is shown at checkout for your ZIP code.
