Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pelican Lake, WI

Wisconsin Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pelican Lake, WI, with traffic bond as the base most local drives are built on. If you are working over the glacial till and outwash ground around here, we stock the base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative materials to match.

Order online, pick your material, and we deliver. The right material depends on the ground under your project and what it has to carry.

Materials for Pelican Lake Projects

Driveways and parking pads are the bulk of what moves here, so start with the base. Traffic bond, sold elsewhere as dense graded base or 3/4 inch dense graded base, is a crushed dense-graded material that packs hard and stays put. It carries your drive through spring thaw and takes a top layer without shifting. Order 3/4" Traffic Bond as the base layer.

Where the ground is soft or clay-heavy, put down breaker run first. It is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in, and it bridges over wet, weak subgrade before the traffic bond goes on top. Order Breaker Run as the sub-base.

Once the base is compacted, surface it with driveway gravel for a clean, tight running layer that sheds water off the crown. Finish with Driveway Gravel.

For drainage and backfill, 3/4 inch crushed stone, also called clear stone, has the fines screened out so water moves through it. Use it around foundations, pipes and drainage beds. Order 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Sand and soil round out the list. Washed sand beds slabs and levels paver bases, mason sand handles block work and paver joints, and pulverized topsoil, which most buyers here call black dirt, finishes lawns and beds after the grading is done.

Ground and Conditions in Pelican Lake

Water is the whole story on a drive here, so plan the base around where runoff goes. Sandy outwash drains fast, but the dense till under it does not. Snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots and flat fields, and they cannot drain down while the subsoil is still frozen.

That is why a thin base fails. Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later here than in southern Wisconsin. Wet, silty or loamy spots heave and soften as the thaw works down, so your traffic bond needs enough depth and proper compaction to bridge that movement.

Timing matters too. Ground work waits until frost is out and soils have drained.

Erosion is the other piece. Runoff carries loose sand and silt off bare slopes and cleared lots into ditches and lakes, and it wears away unprotected banks. Rip rap and large river rock armor those edges.

Delivery to Pelican Lake and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you want it, so have the drop spot ready. Clear the area, mark any buried lines, and make sure the truck can reach the pile without crossing a soft lawn or a septic field. A clean, level spot saves you moving material twice.

Order by the ton or the yard, whichever you find easier. For a drive, figure the square footage, pick your depth, and the quantity follows. If you are unsure, size your load with the calculator before you order.

We deliver across Pelican Lake and Oneida County, including Rhinelander, Hazelhurst, Woodruff, Minocqua and Three Lakes. Place the order online and we will schedule the drop.
