Mason Sand for Patios in Brantwood, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Brantwood, WI, with traffic bond leading the list. This part of Price County sits on glacial till and outwash, so ground ranges from sand and gravel to silty loam and low, wet pockets. We carry the bedding and base materials a patio or flatwork job actually needs.

You can order by the ton or the yard and have it dropped where the work is.

Materials for Brantwood Projects

A paver patio or a poured slab only holds its grade if the bedding under it is right, and that is where most projects are won or lost. Traffic bond is the local name for 3/4 inch dense graded base. It packs hard and stays put.

For patio work, start with 3/4" Traffic Bond as the structural base. It is crushed dense graded base that compacts into a firm, tight layer, and it takes the load so the surface above it does not settle.

Bed the pavers on Mason Sand. It screeds smooth and level, and it locks the units in place without shifting. For a slab, level and bed on Washed Sand instead.

Where the ground is soft or holds water, drop Breaker Run first. It is coarse crushed stone with fines, and it builds a heavy sub-base that a thin layer of traffic bond alone cannot carry.

Finish with Screenings swept into the joints, and use Driveway Gravel where the patio meets the drive.

Ground and Conditions in Brantwood

The failure you see here is a thin base pumping and heaving. After a northern Wisconsin winter, frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later than it does down south.

That frost pushes water up through silty or loamy spots, and a base that is only a couple of inches thick softens and lets the surface move. That calls for more depth and a way for water to leave. Build the base thick enough, compact it in lifts, and let water out.

Dense till also slows water from soaking in, so snowmelt and heavy rain sit in low spots and flat fields while the subsoil is still frozen. If your patio sits low, a layer of Drain Rock under the base gives that water somewhere to go.

Timing matters too.

Delivery to Brantwood and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever you think in. A yard of traffic bond weighs more than a yard of sand, so if you want to compare, order by the ton and let the yardage follow.

To estimate, measure length times width times depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. For a paver base, go thicker over soft spots than on firm ground, and order extra because material compacts as you tamp it.

We deliver bulk to Brantwood and elsewhere in Price County, including Park Falls, Phillips, Fifield, Prentice and Ogema. Tell us where to dump and we will place the pile close to the work.

Questions About Ordering Material in Brantwood

What gravel is best for a driveway in Brantwood?

Traffic bond, sold on the site as 3/4" Traffic Bond, is the right base for most drives here. It is dense graded base that packs hard and sheds water. Over soft or clay ground, put Breaker Run down first, then cap it with traffic bond. Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel when the base is already firm.

How much material will my project need?

Work out volume first: length times width times depth in feet, divided by 27, gives cubic yards. Then pick tons or yards at checkout. Order a little extra for compaction and spillage. If your numbers look wrong, the calculator on the product page will size it for you.
