Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Dodge, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dodge, WI. Traffic bond is the base most drives and pads go in on around here: a crushed, dense graded material that packs hard and stays put. Runoff off the ridges moves fast, so the right stone in the right place matters more than volume.

You can order by the ton or the yard and have it dropped at your site in Trempealeau County.

Materials for Dodge Projects

Steep slopes and fast runoff drive most material choices here. Coarse stone is what holds a bank, a swale or a culvert outlet in place. Start with the sizes that do the heavy work, then finish finer.

Breaker run is the coarse crushed stone with fines still in it. It goes down first where ground is soft, then traffic bond caps it to a hard, tight surface.

For water that has to move, clear stone is the answer. 3/4" Crushed Stone has the fines screened out, so water passes through instead of pooling. Screenings pack tight for paver bedding and walkways, and Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive that is already firm underneath.

Ground and Conditions in Dodge

Base work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. That window is short, and it sets your delivery timing. Wet silt loam on a steep grade ruts under a loaded truck, so ground that is still saturated is ground to wait on.

The soil here is silt loam over sandstone and dolomite. On ridge tops it is thin and stony. On valley floors and terraces you hit sandy and silty river deposits instead. That means base depth is not one number for the whole town.

Freeze-thaw cycles run into early spring, and frost reaches 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. Silty soil holds water and softens as frost comes out, so a thin base on a slope or at a hillside seep ruts easily. Where bedrock is shallow, water also drains through cracks, sinkholes and springs, which is one more reason a drainage layer earns its place.

County, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, and Class II state highways do the same. If your site sits on one of those, plan the haul before or after the posted period.

Lead time depends on the material and the season, so order ahead once your base is ready. A dump truck needs a clear path and a spot where it can spread and pull out. For a tight driveway or a soft shoulder, tell us what the truck is backing into.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Dodge

What stone should I use for drainage in Dodge?

Use clear stone: crushed stone with the fines screened out so water moves through it. Drain Rock is the standard choice for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Use 3/4" Crushed Stone for a wider drainage bed or backfill around a foundation, and 3/8" Crushed Stone for pipe bedding and tight spots.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot marked and the path clear. A dump truck needs room to spread and pull out, so move vehicles, trailers and anything low overhead. Tell us about soft ground, a steep grade or a narrow gate before the driver arrives. On wet silt loam, a loaded truck can rut a slope fast.
