River Rock Delivery for Grafton, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grafton, WI, and the ground here shapes what we recommend first. Ozaukee County sits on clay-rich glacial till that drains slowly, so a thin base over wet clay fails fast. That is why traffic bond goes under almost every drive and pad we send out.

For beds, borders and dry creek beds, decorative rock is the lead. We deliver bulk loads to homes and job sites across the city.

Materials for Grafton Projects

Landscape work and driveway work use different stone, and picking the right one saves a second delivery. Here is how we sort the common requests.

Decorative rock for beds and dry creek beds

River rock is the standard for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and it holds up to runoff without washing out. Use Large River Rock where the creek bed carries more volume or where you want a heavier look.

Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs, and it drains well. It also works as a ground cover between plants where you want a softer surface. Order Natural Pea Gravel for those spots.

Base and driveway stone

Traffic bond, also called 3/4 inch traffic bond, is the crushed dense-graded base that packs hard. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed bases and patio bases. For those jobs, order 3/4" Traffic Bond.

Where ground is soft or clay-heavy, start with breaker run as a coarse sub-base, then cap it with traffic bond. That is the sequence that keeps a drive from rutting. Order Breaker Run for the bottom layer.

Drainage, bedding and top dressing

Wet clay ground needs somewhere for water to go. Drain Rock fills French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, and 3/4 inch crushed stone, often called clear stone, handles drainage beds and backfill. Order Drain Rock for those runs.

Screenings, also called stone dust, pack hard and set paver and patio bedding. They also make a tight top dressing on a drive. Order Screenings for bedding and joints.

Ground and Conditions in Grafton

The soil under Grafton is brown silty clay loam in places and sandier along parts of the shore. Either way, it drains slowly. Rain and snowmelt pond on flat ground and run off to ditches instead of soaking down.

That matters for base depth. A thin gravel base over wet clay heaves and ruts, and it cannot drain at all while the subsoil is still frozen. Build the base deeper than you would on sand, and use clear stone for drainage instead of trusting the soil to take water.

Waves, high lake levels and freeze-thaw wear back the clay and till bluffs along the shore. Inland, runoff off slow-draining ground scours ditches and stream banks. Rip rap armors those slopes, culvert outlets and shorelines against waves and spring runoff.

Timing counts 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. Posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out.

Delivery to Grafton and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity, then we deliver the load to your site. Most buyers choose by the ton for base and drainage stone and by the yard for soil, sand and decorative rock. Our product pages show both so you can match your estimate.

Measure your area in feet, decide the depth you want, and the tonnage follows from the material. If you are unsure, size the job first and order the base and the decorative layer separately so nothing sits unused.

We deliver bulk loads across Grafton, which sits in Ozaukee County, and to Mequon, Port Washington, Cedarburg, Saukville and Belgium. Have a spot cleared where the truck can reach, and the driver will place the pile where you need it.

Questions Grafton Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Decorative rock and soil are usually ordered by the yard, while traffic bond, breaker run and drainage stone are ordered by the ton. Clay ground drains slowly, so plan on a deeper base than you would on sand. Enter your measurements in the calculator and check the figures before you order.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Grafton?

Yes. Base and drainage materials such as traffic bond, breaker run, clear stone and drain rock are sold by the ton, and we deliver bulk loads to sites in Grafton and across Ozaukee County. Choose your material and tonnage online, and we will bring it to your driveway, pad or job site.
