River Rock Delivery for Clear Lake, WI

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Clear Lake, WI? Wisconsin Rock Supply sells bulk material online and drops it at your site. Traffic bond is the base most Clear Lake drives and pads start with.

Landscape projects around Clear Lake mean decorative rock, beds, dry creek beds and ground cover. The ground here runs from sand and gravel to silty loam, with peat and muck in the low, wet spots.

Materials for Clear Lake Projects

Start with what you are building. A bed, a path and a dry creek bed each take a different stone, and ordering the wrong one costs you a second delivery.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Rounded stone that rakes clean and holds its color.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work where water moves fast.
• Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.
• RipRap for lakeshore, stream bank and culvert outlet armoring against waves and spring runoff.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

Under all of that sits the base. Use 3/4" Traffic Bond, the crushed dense-graded base Wisconsin crews call traffic bond, for driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases. It packs hard and stays put.

For a patio or paver walkway, bed the pavers on Screenings, also sold as stone dust. For a soft, wet spot, put down Breaker Run first as a coarse sub-base, then cap it with traffic bond.

Ground and Conditions in Clear Lake

Clear Lake sits in Polk County, on ground left by glacial till and outwash. Some of it is sand and gravel that drains fast. Some is silty loam where windblown silt caps the till, and that soil holds water.

Dense till slows water from soaking in. Snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots, wetlands and flat fields, and cannot drain down while the subsoil is still frozen.

That is why base depth matters more here than in sandy country. A thin base over wet silt heaves and softens as the ground thaws, and your pavers or drive pay for it. Dig out the soft spot, put down breaker run, then build up with traffic bond.

Winter runs long and frost goes deep. Frost depth is at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later here than in southern Wisconsin. Spring weight limits on posted roads tend to lift later too, so ground work waits until frost is out and soils have drained.

Runoff also carries loose sand and silt off bare slopes and cleared lots. Direct water away from bare ground, and armor any bank that takes the flow.

Delivery to Clear Lake and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity before you check out. Bulk aggregate sells by the ton or by the cubic yard, and the product page shows the unit so you know what you are buying.

Measure your area and depth, then convert. A long driveway base takes much more material than a shallow bed of the same length. The FAQ below walks through the math.

Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers bulk loads to Clear Lake and to Amery, Osceola, St. Croix Falls, Luck and Frederic. Have the drop spot clear and reachable, and tell us where the pile should land so it does not block the truck's exit.

Questions Clear Lake Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width in feet, multiply for square feet, then multiply by depth in feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards. The calculator does that math for your own drive and gives you the cubic yards. Check the product page, since stone and sand convert from yards to tons at different weights.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Clear Lake?

Yes. Bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch are ordered by the ton or by the cubic yard, and you choose the amount when you order online. Because Clear Lake sits in Polk County, where frost leaves later, book your load around the spring thaw so it lands when the ground has drained and the truck can reach the site.
