Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Holcombe, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Holcombe, WI. Start with traffic bond, the crushed dense-graded base this market uses under drives, parking pads and shed floors. It packs hard and sheds water off the surface. Around here the ground is glacial till and outwash, so sand and gravel sit next to stony Top Soil and low, wet pockets.

Materials for Holcombe Projects

Most jobs here are landscape work. Decorative stone, bed cover and dry creek beds take a different material than a driveway does, so order by project type.

Beds, borders and dry creek beds

River Rock covers planting beds and borders and holds up as ground cover. For a dry creek bed, use Large River Rock so the stone stays put when water runs through it. Shredded Mulch works the beds and tree rings and holds moisture through summer.

Walkways, play areas and drainage

Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs. It moves underfoot, so keep it off slopes. Where you need water to move, use Drain Rock in French drains, downspout runs and behind retaining walls.

Bases under the stone

Decorative stone needs a base that will not sink. 3/4" Traffic Bond is the dense-graded base. Some suppliers label the same material road gravel. Cap it with Driveway Gravel, or bed pavers on Screenings.

Ground and Conditions in Holcombe

Start with the soil, because it decides how deep your base goes. Sandy outwash drains fast, but dense till slows water from soaking in. Snowmelt and heavy rain then collect in low spots, wetlands and flat fields, and cannot drain down while the subsoil is still frozen.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A thin layer of traffic bond over soft, silty or loamy ground heaves and softens as the ground thaws. Dig out the soft spot, put down breaker run as a coarse sub-base, then cap it with traffic bond. Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later than in southern Wisconsin.

Bare slopes, cleared lots and cropland shed sand and silt into ditches, streams and lakes, and unprotected banks wear away. Rip rap armors shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against waves, spring runoff and heavy rain. Plan ground work for after frost is out and soils have drained.

Delivery to Holcombe and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material, then choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are unsure, measure the area and the depth you want and order from that. Bulk delivery drops the load where you can spread it, so think about truck access before you order.

Holcombe sits in Chippewa County, and deliveries reach Chippewa Falls, Stanley, Bloomer, Cadott and Cornell as well. Spring weight limits on posted roads lift later up here, so time a heavy load around them.

Questions About Ordering in Holcombe

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width of the area, then decide the depth. Multiply those to get the volume, and order by the ton or the yard. A base under a drive needs more depth than a decorative bed does. If you are unsure, enter the measurements in the calculator and it will size the order for your project.

Yes. You can order by the ton or by the yard and have it delivered to a site in Holcombe. Bulk loads are sized to your project, from a small bed of river rock to a full driveway base. Place the order online and we will arrange delivery to your address.
