Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ettrick, WI

If you are building a driveway, a parking pad, or a shed base this season, gravel and aggregate delivery in Ettrick, WI starts with the right base material. Wisconsin Rock Supply stocks traffic bond, the crushed dense graded base most Wisconsin yards sell under that name. On Ettrick's silt loam, a base that packs hard matters more than a pretty surface.

Materials for Ettrick Projects

Driveway work leads here, and it starts below the surface. Traffic bond, also called 3/4 inch dense graded base, is what you put down first. It has fines mixed through the stone, so it compacts into a tight, load-bearing layer instead of shifting under tires.

Over soft or clay ground, start with breaker run. It is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in, and it bridges wet, spongy subgrade that would swallow a thinner base.

Surface and finish materials follow the same logic:

• 3/4" Traffic Bond for driveway and parking pad base, shed floors, and patio sub-base. This is the layer that carries the load.
• Breaker Run for a heavy sub-base over soft ground and for construction entrances, usually capped with traffic bond.
• Driveway Gravel for surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted traffic bond base.
• Screenings, also sold as stone dust, for paver bedding, walkways, and a hard-packing top dressing on drives.
• Drain Rock for French drains, downspout runs, and drainage behind retaining walls.

Ground and Conditions in Ettrick

Water drives most of the base decisions around here. Rain and snowmelt run fast off the steep ridges into narrow valleys, and heavy storms can push high water into valley towns. On the ridges, water also drops through cracks, sinkholes, and springs in the shallow dolomite and limestone.

That runoff washes silt loam downhill, cutting gullies and eating stream banks in heavy storms. So on a slope, you want a base deep enough to stay put and a drainage layer that moves water away instead of holding it. Clear stone and drain rock do that work. Where the ground stays wet, breaker run under traffic bond gives you a stable platform.

Timing matters too. Base work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Wet silty soil on steep grades ruts easily, and low valley sites should allow for high water after big storms.

Frost is the other factor. Cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles stretch into early spring, and silty soils hold water and soften as frost comes out. Frost depth runs at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. A thin base on a slope or at a hillside seep ruts out fast.

Spring weight limits are posted on Class II state highways and on county, town, and village roads while frost comes out, so plan hauling around them.
