Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Cambridge, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cambridge, WI, with traffic bond leading the lineup. Traffic bond is the crushed dense-graded base most Wisconsin drives are built on, and we stock it alongside washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock. Cambridge sits on lime-rich glacial till capped with silt loam, so what you put under a drive matters here.

Order by the ton or the yard, and we drop it where you need it in Dane County.

Materials for Cambridge Projects

Most work in Cambridge starts with the base. Traffic bond, also called 3/4 inch traffic bond or 3/4 inch dense graded base, is the material to plan a driveway, parking pad, shed pad or patio base around. It packs hard because the fines stay in the mix.

Build the order around the job:

• 3/4" Traffic Bond for driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases. This is the layer that carries the load.
• Breaker Run as a coarse sub-base over soft or clay ground and for construction entrances, usually capped with traffic bond.
• Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted traffic bond base.
• Walkway Gravel for paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface.

Around the house, Screenings bed pavers and patios, and a thin layer packs as a top dressing on a drive. 3/4" Crushed Stone, or clear stone, has the fines screened out, so it drains and works as backfill around foundations and pipe.

For wet ground and drainage runs, Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. RipRap armors shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against waves and spring runoff.

Topsoil and sand finish the job. Top Soil, sold pulverized and known locally as black dirt, spreads fine over grading and bed prep. Mason Sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints, while Garden Soil, a topsoil and compost blend called garden mix, feeds raised beds. Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock finish walkways and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Cambridge

Water drives the material choice here. Rain and snowmelt collect in kettles, marshes and low ground between drumlins and moraines, and slow-draining till holds that water near the surface. Sandy and gravelly outwash sheds it fast. On the same road, one drive sits wet and another stays firm.

If your ground holds water, start with breaker run for the sub-base and cap it with traffic bond. The coarse stone keeps a working layer under the base instead of letting it pump into soft soil. Where water runs toward a foundation or a wall, put drain rock in a bedded trench and daylight the outlet.

Bare slopes on moraine hills and graded sites shed silty soil into ditches and stream banks. Riprap at culvert outlets and along banks slows that before it starts. Frost leaves the ground earlier than in northern Wisconsin, but silty and clayey spots still heave and soften during the thaw. Frost depth runs at least 48 inches for footings, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter, so base depth is not a place to cut corners.

Time the work from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

Delivery to Cambridge and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck, so the drop is the part to plan. Have a clear, firm spot for the truck to reach and enough room to set the pile where you want to move it from. Point out overhead wires and low branches before the driver backs in.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. A driveway base is measured by area and depth, so figure the square footage and the compacted depth you need, then let the yardage do the math on the load.

We deliver across Cambridge and Dane County, including Madison, Sun Prairie, Middleton, Waunakee and Verona. Split piles are fine if you want base in one spot and topsoil in another.
