Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Prentice, WI

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Prentice, WI runs on the working season. Frost leaves later here than it does down south, so ground work waits until the soil drains. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers traffic bond, stone, sand and soil to jobs across Price County.

Spring weight limits on posted roads lift late, and that shapes when a load can move. Order when the ground is ready and the truck can reach your site.

Materials for Prentice Projects

Most work here starts with grade. You raise low spots with fill dirt, cap the lot with pulverized topsoil, and plant into garden mix. Get that order right and the lawn, beds and driveway all hold up better.

Top Soil is pulverized so it spreads fine and knits into a seedbed. Buyers around here call it black dirt. It goes on lawns, graded lots and bed prep as an even, generous layer.

Garden Soil is a topsoil and compost blend sold locally as garden mix. It feeds raised beds and planting areas where roots need depth and loose structure.

Fill Dirt is screened fill for raising grade, filling low spots and backfill. It goes under the topsoil, not on top of it.

Under drives and pads, traffic bond is the compacted base. It is the crushed dense graded base Wisconsin suppliers sell under that name.

3/4" Traffic Bond packs hard for driveways, parking pads, and shed and patio bases. Screenings set pavers and flagstone, and hold a hard top dressing on a drive.

Ground and Conditions in Prentice

Rain and snowmelt drive everything here. Glacial till and outwash cover this ground, from sand and gravel to stony sandy loam, with silty loam where windblown silt caps the till. Bogs and low wet ground hold peat and muck.

Sandy outwash drains fast. Dense till does not. Water sits in low spots and flat fields, and while the subsoil is still frozen it cannot drain down at all.

That is why a thin base fails in spring. Wet, silty or loamy spots heave and soften as the ground thaws, so a drive or pad needs enough compacted base to bridge the soft layer.

Frost goes deeper here and leaves later than in southern Wisconsin. Footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code need at least 48 inches of frost depth, and the ground stays cold past that.

Runoff carries loose sand and silt off bare slopes and cleared lots into ditches and streams. Bare banks on the rivers and lakes wear away with it. Rip rap armors shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against waves and spring runoff.

Delivery to Prentice and the Surrounding Area

Order online and the load comes to your site by the ton or the yard. Use the calculator on the product page to size it: measure your length and width, decide the depth, and it works out the tonnage.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck arrives. A clear, firm, level area near the work keeps the load where you want it and lets the driver get out without rutting your yard.
