Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Kewaunee, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kewaunee, WI. Most projects here start with traffic bond, the 3/4 inch dense graded base crews buy to raise grade and build pads that pack hard. Clay ground around Kewaunee drains slowly, so what you put under a slab or drive matters as much as what you put on top.

We sell bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, topsoil and fill for pickup or delivery. Order online and we bring it to your site.

Materials for Kewaunee Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the first job on nearly every lot here. Water sits on flat clay ground, so you build up before you build on. That means a coarse sub-base, then a compacted layer over it.

Breaker run is the coarse crushed stone with fines that goes down first over soft or clay ground. It bridges wet spots and gives you a stable working surface. Cap it with traffic bond, the dense graded base that packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed floors.

What to order for common jobs

For a paver patio or walkway, bed the pavers in screenings and lock the joints with a finer stone. For drainage, order drain rock or clear stone such as 3/4" Crushed Stone, which has the fines screened out so water moves.

Finishing touches run to Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, river rock for dry creek beds, and shredded mulch for beds. Sand covers masonry work, leveling and slab bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Kewaunee

The ground here is clay-rich glacial till and old lake-bed clay and silt that drains slowly. Rain and snowmelt soak in slowly, so water ponds on flat ground and runs off to ditches. While the subsoil is still frozen, it cannot drain down at all.

That is why a thin gravel base fails. Wet clay over frozen ground turns soft in the spring, and a shallow base heaves and ruts. Build deeper and compact in lifts instead of dumping one thick layer.

Frost reaches at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. 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, so plan heavy loads around that.

Waves, high lake levels and freeze-thaw wear back the clay and till bluffs along the shore. Rip rap armors slopes, culvert outlets and stream banks against that.

Delivery to Kewaunee and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity. Bulk material is sold by the ton or the cubic yard, so you need the area and the depth you want. A driveway base built to a solid compacted depth over a known square footage gives you a number to work from.

We deliver bulk loads across Kewaunee and Kewaunee County, including Algoma, Luxemburg and Casco. Tell us where the truck can back in and where you want the pile dropped. Keep the pile close to the work so you are not moving material twice.

Questions from Kewaunee Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Kewaunee?

Use traffic bond. It is the dense graded base that compacts hard and holds its shape under a paver patio or walkway. Put it down in lifts, compact each lift, then bed the pavers in screenings. Because the local clay drains slowly, the base has to carry water away from the bedding rather than trap it underneath.

Traffic bond is the material most Kewaunee projects start with, and breaker run is what goes under it when the ground is soft. Add fill dirt to raise grade, then topsoil to finish. Order online from Wisconsin Rock Supply and we will deliver it to your site.
