Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Maple, WI

Where do you get gravel and aggregate delivery in Maple, WI for a wet, heavy clay lot? Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers bulk material by the ton, and traffic bond is the base most drives here are built on. Snowmelt and spring rain sit on tight red clay in this part of Douglas County, so drainage is usually the first thing to plan.

Order the right washed stone and the water leaves. Order the wrong mix and it pools until the ground thaws.

Materials for Maple Projects

Start with drainage, because that is what heavy clay ground demands. Washed stone has the fines screened out, so water moves through it instead of filling the voids. Sizes run coarsest to finest, and each one fits a different job.

• Drain Rock is the workhorse for French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. If you are digging a trench this spring, this is the stone that goes in it.
• #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms where you need bulk and open voids.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, often called clear stone, suits drainage beds and backfill around foundations and pipe. It is also a good surface over a compacted base.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone is the fine end, used for pipe bedding, permeable paver bases and topping over compacted stone.
• Screenings, or stone dust, pack hard for paver and patio bedding and walkway surfaces.

For the drive itself, 3/4" Traffic Bond is the dense graded base that packs hard and holds up under a truck. Breaker run goes underneath it when the ground is soft. A drywell or a downspout run is simply a pit or trench filled with washed stone, so the water has somewhere to go besides your lawn.

Ground and Conditions in Maple

Frost leaves late, so spring weight limits on Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads tend to lift later than they do in southern Wisconsin. Plan ground work for after the thaw, once the clay has drained.

Frost here goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later than in the south. Thawing clay over still-frozen ground holds water, so a thin gravel base heaves and ruts. Build the base deep enough and put a washed drainage layer under the wet spots.

Streams cut steep, slumping banks into the red clay, and waves and freeze-thaw wear back the shore. That is why RipRap gets ordered for culvert outlets and slope armoring before spring runoff.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Maple?
