Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Kenosha, WI

Most jobs go wrong on the quantity, not the material. Figure the square footage, pick a depth, and you have your yards before you ever call for gravel and aggregate delivery in Kenosha, WI. Wisconsin Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil by the ton and drops it at your site.

Start with traffic bond where the ground has to carry weight, then build the landscape on top of it. Decorative work usually comes next, because beds and dry creek beds are where many Kenosha yards start.

Materials for Kenosha Projects

Decorative stone is the first thing people notice, and it is also a simple way to stop fighting mud along a foundation. Here is what to order for the work you are doing.

Beds, borders and ground cover

River Rock lays down clean in beds and borders and along the house where you want no plants to trim. Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and heavier erosion work where water moves through the yard.

Natural Pea Gravel is the walkable choice for paths, play areas and dog runs, and it drains instead of holding water. All three read as finished ground cover, not fill.

Under the hardscape

Bedding is where the job is won. Screenings pack hard under pavers and patio stone and top-dress a drive with a tight surface. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers where you need a consistent base.

Drainage needs clean stone, so order Drain Rock for French drains, downspout runs and behind a wall. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as clear stone, is the standard for drainage beds and backfill around foundations and pipe.

Driveways and base

Every drive in this county should start with 3/4" Traffic Bond, the dense graded base Wisconsin crews call traffic bond. It is crushed dense-graded base that locks up and stays put. Where the ground is soft, put Breaker Run underneath as the heavy sub-base, then cap it. Finish an existing drive with Driveway Gravel.

Ground and Conditions in Kenosha

Kenosha sits on brown silty clay loam over clay-rich glacial till. That ground drains slowly, so rain and snowmelt pond on flat lots and run off to the ditches instead of soaking in.

Frozen subsoil makes it worse. Water cannot drain down at all while the subsoil is still frozen, so a thin gravel base heaves and ruts through the spring. Build the base thick enough to bridge that soft layer and compact it in lifts.

Frost drives the numbers here. Footings go to at least 48 inches under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and pavement frost reaches 48 to 72 inches by late winter. Under a drive or patio, that means more base depth than a southern supplier would quote.

Timing matters as much as depth. 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. Spring weight limits post on county, town and village roads while frost comes out, which affects hauling.

Along the lake, waves, high lake levels and freeze-thaw wear back the clay bluffs, and runoff off slow-draining ground scours ditches inland. RipRap armors culvert outlets, slopes and shore edges against that.

Delivery to Kenosha and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. Measure the area, choose a depth, and the tonnage follows; if you are unsure, order a little over and keep the extra for the low spot you find later.

Bulk delivery drops on the driveway or as close to the work as the truck can safely reach. Tell us where you want it and whether the ground is firm enough to hold a loaded truck, because soft clay is the one thing that reroutes a drop.

We deliver across Kenosha County, including Pleasant Prairie, Twin Lakes, Bristol, Salem and Silver Lake. One load or several, all from the same yard.

Questions Kenosha Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Multiply length by width in feet, then multiply by your depth in feet to get cubic feet. Then enter that in the calculator, which converts it to cubic yards or tons of crushed stone. Beds take a thin layer of decorative rock, drives take a thick compacted layer of traffic bond, and a shed base wants more.

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

Yes. Order by the ton or by the yard online, and bulk loads come straight to your site in Kenosha and the rest of Kenosha County. Have the drop spot clear and the ground firm enough for a loaded truck, and the driver will place the pile where you want it.
