Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in De Pere, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in De Pere, WI. Clay ground here stays soft after the thaw and after heavy rain, so the work goes best once the ground has drained. Plan your traffic bond, topsoil and stone delivery for late spring into fall.

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

Materials for De Pere Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Pulverized topsoil, which most buyers here call black dirt, spreads fine for lawns, bed prep and final grade. Top Soil goes on after fill dirt has raised the grade.

For planting beds, garden mix is a topsoil and compost blend sold as garden soil. Garden Soil feeds raised beds and shrub borders. Where a low spot needs filling before anything else goes down, screened fill works under both. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills.

Under the soil, the base is what carries the load. Traffic bond is a crushed dense graded base that packs hard. Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases. Traffic Bond should go down as a thick, well-compacted layer on clay.

Over soft or clay ground, breaker run goes underneath as a heavy sub-base, then traffic bond caps it. Breaker Run also builds construction entrances.

For bedding and finish work, screenings pack into paver joints and patio bedding, and clear stone handles drainage and backfill. Screenings level walkways. 3/4" Crushed Stone drains foundation and pipe trenches.

Ground and Conditions in De Pere

Rain and snowmelt soak slowly into the tight clay here, so water ponds on flat ground and runs off to ditches. While the subsoil is still frozen, it cannot drain down at all. Wet clay over frozen ground turns soft, and a thin gravel base heaves and ruts.

That is why base depth matters. Frost reaches at least 48 inches under footings by code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. A driveway built on a thin skim of traffic bond will not survive a De Pere spring.

Water also needs somewhere to go. A drainage layer of clear stone or drain rock moves it away from the base and the foundation instead of letting it sit. Waves, high lake levels and runoff off slow-draining clay wear back shore bluffs and scour ditches inland, so rip rap armors culvert outlets and banks.

Clay sites stay soft after the thaw and after heavy rain. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, which can affect a haul.

Questions About Ordering in De Pere

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in De Pere?

Yes. Order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever matches your project. The online calculator converts between them using the density of each material, so you can check a figure before you order. Soil, sand and gravel all weigh differently per yard, so use the calculator rather than guessing.

What stone should I use for drainage in De Pere?

Clear stone is the right call for drainage because the fines are screened out and water moves through it. For French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, use drain rock or 3/4 inch crushed stone. Bed the pipe in clear stone and wrap it in filter fabric so clay silt cannot plug the voids.
