Materials for Plover Projects

Most patios and flatwork fail at the bedding, not the pavers. That layer has to pack hard, stay flat and drain. Traffic bond is the Wisconsin name for a crushed dense graded base, sold on the site as 3/4" Traffic Bond. Compacted in lifts, it gives pavers and slabs a base that will not pump or settle.

Above that base, bedding takes a finer material. Screenings (stone dust) pack tight under pavers, on walkways and as a top dressing. For pipe bedding and drainage behind a wall, Drain Rock or clear stone lets water move instead of sitting.

Around the hard surfaces, finish materials do the rest. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs and play areas. RipRap armors shorelines and culvert outlets where spring runoff and heavy rain pull at bare sand.

Ground and Conditions in Plover

A thin base shows itself fast here. On deep sand and gravel left by glacial meltwater, a patio base that is too shallow or not compacted in lifts will shift, and the pavers will rock at the corners within a season.

The fix is depth and compaction. Excavate to the line you need, then build the traffic bond base in lifts and compact each one. On low, wet ground and peat, bring in breaker run first as a coarse sub-base, then cap it with traffic bond. The sandy uplands drain fast, so they firm up early.

Frost carries the rest of the reasoning. Footings need at least 48 inches of cover under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and pavement sees 48 to 72 inches of frost by late winter. A base built to depth rides the spring thaw out. Loose sand left bare on cut banks and flowage shores is the one place erosion shows up, so seed or armor those slopes.

Delivery to Plover and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity. Decide between tons and cubic yards first. A yard of traffic bond weighs more than a yard of topsoil, so the two never convert the same way.

Estimate by volume: length times width times depth, converted to yards, then to tons for the material you chose. A thin layer is common for bedding, and base depths run deeper.

Plover sits in Portage County, and we deliver to Stevens Point, Amherst, Bancroft, Rosholt and Almond as well. Bulk loads drop where the truck can reach. Spring weight limits are posted on county, town and village roads while frost comes out, typically early March into late April or early May, so plan the site early.

Questions From Plover Buyers

What gravel is best for a driveway in Plover?

Traffic bond is the standard choice. It is a crushed dense graded base that packs hard and carries a driveway surface. Build it in compacted lifts, then top it with driveway gravel. If your ground is soft or peaty, put breaker run down first as a heavy sub-base and cap it with traffic bond.

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area and decide the depth, then convert to cubic yards. Bedding under pavers usually goes down as a thin layer, while a driveway base runs deeper. Because sand, stone and topsoil differ in weight per yard, run the numbers for your exact material. Our calculator does the tons-to-yards math for you.

Size the Load and Place Your Order

Measure your patio or driveway, set the depth, and let the calculator convert yards to tons for the material you picked. Traffic bond, screenings and drainage stone are all sized to the job. When the numbers look right, order online and we will haul the load to your Plover site.
