Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for New Berlin, WI

Water is the problem here. It collects in kettles, marshes and low ground between the drumlins, and slow-draining till holds spring rain and snowmelt near the surface. That is why so much of the work we quote for gravel and aggregate delivery in New Berlin, WI starts with erosion control. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand, topsoil and traffic bond by the ton, right to your site.

Start with the coarse end. RipRap and breaker run do the heavy lifting on slopes and banks, then traffic bond and finer stone finish the job above them.

Materials for New Berlin Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is coarse stone work. Water moving fast needs big, angular rock that locks together and stays put. The list below runs from the heaviest sizes down to the fine material that finishes a surface.

RipRap is the first call for lakeshore, stream bank, culvert outlets and any slope taking waves or heavy runoff. It interlocks instead of rolling out.

Breaker Run is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in. Use it as a heavy sub-base over soft or clay ground, for construction entrances, and under a traffic bond cap.

Railroad Ballast handles severe drainage and hard standing where stone has to shed water and carry weight at the same time.

3/4" Traffic Bond is the dense graded base this market knows by name. It packs hard and carries driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Drain Rock, also called clear drain stone, is washed stone with the fines screened out. It goes in French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Crushed stone with the fines removed is what Wisconsin yards call clear stone.

Screenings are the fine end, sold locally as stone dust or 1/4 inch screenings. They bed pavers and patios, top a walkway, and pack into a hard top dressing on a drive.

Ground and Conditions in New Berlin

Timing drives this work. Base, driveway and paver jobs run from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, so plan around that window.

Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. Silty and clayey spots still heave and soften during the thaw. That is why traffic bond goes in at a depth that drains, not a thin skim.

Ground differs across the city. Sandy and gravelly outwash sheds water fast. Till and low kettle bottoms hold it. On moraine hills, drumlins and graded sites, runoff strips silty soil off bare slopes and cuts into ditches and stream banks, so arm those first.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in New Berlin

What stone should I use for drainage in New Berlin?

Match the stone to the water. Use RipRap on banks, shorelines and culvert outlets taking fast runoff. Use Breaker Run over soft or clay ground before a traffic bond cap. For French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the clean answer. All of it is washed stone with the fines screened out, so water moves instead of pooling.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Mark the drop area and clear a path the truck can use. Know your depth and square footage so the tonnage lands right, and have a rake or machine ready to spread. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so schedule base and paver work from the end of the spring thaw into late fall instead.
