Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Eagle River, WI

Snowmelt and heavy rain run off bare slopes here and cut into banks, ditches and shorelines. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Eagle River, WI, and the answer to most of that water is coarse stone. Start with traffic bond where you need a base that packs hard. Go coarse where water moves.

Glacial till and outwash sit under most of this ground. Sandy spots drain fast. Dense till sheds water into low spots, bogs and flat fields instead.

Materials for Eagle River Projects

Erosion work runs on stone size. Big, open-graded rock slows water and holds soil. Fine, dense material locks together and carries weight. Match the size to the job, then build up.

Riprap is the heavy end. Use RipRap on lakeshore, stream bank, culvert outlets and steep slopes. It takes wave action and spring runoff without moving. Set it on a bed of smaller stone so it does not sink into soft ground.

Below that, breaker run handles the sub-base. Breaker Run is coarse crushed stone with the fines still in it. It bridges soft or clay ground and firms up construction entrances. Cap it with traffic bond for a finished surface.

For water that has to move, use clean stone. Drain Rock has no fines, so water passes straight through. It suits French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.

Then the base and surface layers. 3/4" Traffic Bond is the dense graded base this market calls traffic bond. It packs hard for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Top it with Driveway Gravel for a tighter running surface.

Fine material finishes the job. Screenings bed pavers and patios and pack into a hard top dressing on a drive. Top Soil, sold pulverized here and often called black dirt, covers bare ground once the stone is set. Seed it before fall rain reaches the slope.

Ground and Conditions in Eagle River

Plan around the season, not the calendar. Frost leaves later up here than in southern Wisconsin. Ground work waits until frost is out and soils have drained.

That timing decides your base depth. Frost reaches at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it goes deeper and leaves later than it does down south. Wet, silty or loamy spots heave and soften under a thin base as the ground thaws. Dig deeper, use breaker run over the soft layer, and compact in lifts.

Drainage needs the same care. Dense till slows water from soaking in, so snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots and wetlands. While the subsoil is still frozen, that water cannot drain down. Clean stone and a proper outlet give it somewhere to go.

Have the site ready before the truck arrives. Mark the drop spot, clear low branches and wires, and keep the lane firm enough for a loaded truck. A full load is heavy, and soft spring ground will not hold it.
