Mason Sand for Patios in Fredonia, WI

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Fredonia, WI online, by the ton or the cubic yard. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Ozaukee County. Traffic bond is the local base everyone asks for by name. Clay ground here drains slowly, so what you put under a patio matters as much as the pavers.

Materials for Fredonia Projects

Pavers fail from the bottom up. Bedding is the layer that decides whether a patio stays flat. Start with the right base and bedding, and the surface holds.

For paver and patio bedding, use Screenings. Wisconsin suppliers sell stone dust as screenings, and it packs hard to a smooth bed about an inch thick. It also works as a top dressing on drives.

Under the bedding goes the base. 3/4" Traffic Bond is a crushed dense-graded base that packs hard. On soft or clay ground, start with Breaker Run, coarse crushed stone with fines, then cap it with traffic bond.

Level and set with sand. Mason Sand beds brick and block, fills paver joints and doubles as play sand. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

Drain the edges. Drain Rock handles French drains and downspout runs, and 3/4" Crushed Stone, clear stone with the fines screened out, backfills foundations and pipe.

Ground and Conditions in Fredonia

A thin base shows itself fast here. Clay-rich glacial till drains slowly, so water ponds on flat ground and runs off to ditches. Under a patio, that water finds the weak spot.

Frost makes it worse. Wet clay over still-frozen ground cannot drain, so it turns soft and a thin gravel base heaves and ruts. Frost depth runs at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. Excavate deep enough and compact in lifts.

Timing matters too. Clay sites stay soft after the thaw and after heavy rain, so base and paver work goes best from late spring into fall, once the ground has drained. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out.

Delivery to Fredonia and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your unit. Sold by the ton, material is weighed; sold by the yard, it is measured by volume. Screened and crushed products are usually quoted by the ton, so match the unit to how your supplier lists it.

Estimate before you order. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then convert to tons with the product's weight per yard. A thick patio base needs more material than a thin bedding layer over the same footprint. The calculator on each product page does the math.

Bulk delivery drops where the truck can reach. Point out the driveway, gate or staging spot when you order. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers throughout Ozaukee County, including Mequon, Port Washington, Cedarburg, Grafton and Saukville.

Questions Fredonia Buyers Ask

What gravel is best for a driveway in Fredonia?

Traffic bond. It is a crushed dense-graded base that packs hard, and it is the standard surface for Wisconsin drives. On soft clay, put breaker run down first, then cap it with traffic bond. Top an existing compacted drive with driveway gravel. Keep the crown so runoff leaves the surface.

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area, then set the depth. A patio base is a solid compacted layer; bedding is a thin layer on top. Convert cubic yards to tons using the product's weight per yard. Order a little extra for compaction and spillage. The calculator on each product page handles the conversion for you.
