Local Knowledge That Matters
Cumberland County has rocky glacial soils in many inland towns and sandy coastal soils near the Fore River and Casco Bay. We recommend different base and top layers depending on soil type and expected load. Our team advises on aggregate selection to manage stormwater, prevent rutting, and minimize frost heave.

Projects and Applications in Cumberland County
Cumberland County features coastal neighborhoods, historic downtowns, and lakefront cottages. Each setting calls for specific aggregate choices and installation techniques.
Typical Project Types
- Driveway rebuilds and resurfacing in Portland and South Portland
- Pathways and garden beds in suburban Falmouth and Yarmouth
- Shoreline drainage and erosion control near Casco Bay and Sebago Lake
- Municipal repairs and small road reconstruction in Gray and Windham
- Playground and park surfacing in Freeport and Gorham
Material Recommendations by Project
- Driveways: start with road base, add a compactable layer of crusher run, finish with durable 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel
- Drainage: use #57 stone or drain rock around pipes and undergrading to maintain flow
- Walkways: walkway gravel or decomposed granite for a natural look and good compaction
- Decorative beds: river rock or pea gravel for aesthetic appeal and low maintenance
- Play areas: playground sand over proper base to comply with safety standards
We consider local climate — coastal salt exposure and inland freeze-thaw cycles — when recommending aggregates. For instance, coastal driveways near Harpswell benefit from angular crushed stone that resists salt-related movement, while inland properties near Raymond may require additional frost mitigation using compacted base layers.
