Bulk Material Delivery in Catawba, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Catawba, WI, and we stock the material this market calls traffic bond. It is a crushed dense-graded base that packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed floors. Because so much ground here is glacial till and outwash, a base that drains and locks together matters more than it does on flat, sandy ground.

Materials for Catawba Projects

Runoff is the real problem on this ground. Rain and snowmelt carry loose sand and silt off bare slopes, cleared lots and cropland, and they wear away unprotected banks along streams and lakes. Coarse stone is how you slow that water down and hold the soil in place. The list below runs from the coarsest material to the finest, with what each size is good for.

• RipRap is the first choice for slope, swale and bank protection. It armors shorelines, stream banks and culvert outlets against waves, spring runoff and heavy rain.
• Breaker Run is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in. Use it as a heavy sub-base over soft or clay ground, for construction entrances, and under traffic bond.
• #4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances where you need open voids.
• 3/4" Traffic Bond is the dense-graded base for driveways, parking pads and shed and patio bases. It compacts hard and sheds water.
• Drain Rock goes into French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, and behind retaining walls.
• Screenings are the fine material for paver and patio bedding, walkways and a hard-packing top dressing on a drive.

Two more sizes round out a drainage job. 3/4" Crushed Stone is clear stone, meaning the fines are screened out, and it works for drainage beds and backfill around foundations and pipe. 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and permeable paver bases.

Ground and Conditions in Catawba

Plan the work around the season, not the calendar. Spring weight limits on Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads tend to lift later here too.

Frost drives the base depth. Footings need at least 48 inches under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and frost goes deeper and stays longer than in southern Wisconsin. Wet, silty or loamy spots heave and soften under a thin base as the ground thaws, so build thicker and use stone that drains.

Drainage is uneven on this ground. Sandy outwash drains quickly, but dense till slows water from soaking in, so snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots, wetlands and flat fields. That water cannot drain down while the subsoil is still frozen, which is why swales and drainage layers matter in spring.

Delivery to Catawba and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your material by the ton or the yard. Bulk delivery to a site in Catawba means a truck that needs a clear approach and a firm spot to dump, so mark the drop area before it arrives. We cover Catawba and the rest of Price County, including Park Falls, Phillips, Fifield, Prentice and Ogema.

Timing follows the ground. Most orders land once frost is out and soils have drained, and lead time stretches when every driveway in the county wants base at the same moment. Ordering early in spring puts you ahead of that rush.
