Buy Crushed Stone in Limerick, Maine

What you pay for crushed stone in Limerick depends on the size you order, the total tonnage, and delivery distance. Limerick gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed stone project. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton, and you see the delivered price at checkout after you enter your ZIP code.

The right crushed stone keeps your driveway, base or drain working through wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles. The wrong size or depth means settling, ruts or poor drainage.

Choosing the Right Crushed Stone Size for Your Limerick Project

Each crushed stone size has a different purpose. The table below lists what Gravel Monkey stocks and what each size is not suited for.

How Limerick's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Soils mapped in the Limerick area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means water moves through the ground quickly, which can reduce the amount of drainage stone you need under a surface layer. However, about 87 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting from the truck.

About 171 days a year drop below freezing, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That is why the base layer under a driveway needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave. Limerick also sees about 78 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose crushed stone surface if the top layer is not tamped or locked with fines. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

The ground around Limerick is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior generally means less drainage stone is needed under the surface compared to heavier clay soils. Use this as area guidance; your own soil may differ.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

To figure out the tonnage, measure the length, width and planned depth of your project in feet. Multiply those numbers, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone. Use the crushed stone calculator on the Gravel Monkey site to do the math and see how many tons you need. The calculator uses the same density assumption we use for quoting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Limerick

Does the soil around Limerick change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils in the Limerick area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, which can mean a thinner drainage stone layer under the surface. However, deep and long ground freezing here means the base layer under driveways still needs sufficient depth to resist frost heave.

How much does crushed stone delivery cost in Limerick?

Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage ordered. There are no set prices for all of Limerick. York County permitted about 1,009 single-family homes in 2024, which suggests ongoing demand for delivery service in the area.

What is the difference between the sizes of crushed stone you stock?

The difference is the diameter of the individual stones and the range of sizes within each product. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch work for paver bedding and tight fill. Larger sizes like 2 to 3 inch stone are for rip rap and deep fill. The mid-size products such as 3/4 inch and #57 work for most base and drainage applications.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For a driveway base that carries cars and trucks, plan on a compacted depth of 4 to 6 inches of 3/4 inch crushed stone or #57 stone on a well-draining subgrade. Add more depth if the subgrade is weak or the frost line is deep, but the key is compaction in lifts.
