Bulk Material Delivery in Stevens Point, WI

Wondering where to get gravel and aggregate delivery in Stevens Point, WI without guessing at material names? Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers bulk loads of traffic bond, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton to Stevens Point and Portage County. The sandy ground here drains fast, so drainage stone is often the first thing on the list.

Materials for Stevens Point Projects

Stevens Point sits on deep sand and gravel, which means water moves quickly through the soil. That is good news for most sites, but it also means runoff has to go somewhere. Washed stone is how you give it a path: French drains, drywells and downspout runs all rely on clean stone with the fines screened out.

Order drainage stone by size, working from coarsest to finest. The coarse sizes carry the most water, and the finer sizes handle bedding and joints.

• #4 Crushed Stone is heavy drainage stone for trench bottoms, construction entrances and hard standing.
• Drain Rock (clear drain stone) goes into French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
• #57 Stone is the middle size, used for drainage beds and concrete aggregate.
• #89 Crushed Stone is small stone for paver joints and tight bedding where a fine fill is needed.
• Screenings pack hard, so they work for paver bedding and a top dressing on drives.

For drives and pads, 3/4" Traffic Bond is the Wisconsin standard. It is a crushed dense graded base that packs hard. Where ground is soft or clay-heavy, start with Breaker Run and cap it with traffic bond.

Ground and Conditions in Stevens Point

Sandy uplands here can usually be worked soon after frost leaves the ground. Low, wet sites and peat stay soft much longer, so a delivery timed to a dry stretch saves you a stuck truck and a rutted base.

Frost drives the base depth. Footings need at least 48 inches of cover under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and pavement frost can reach 48 to 72 inches by late winter. Build the base deep enough and compact it in lifts, and spring thaw will not break it up.

Spring also brings posted weight limits. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry them while frost comes out, typically from early March into late April or early May. Plan heavy loads around that window, or stage material on site beforehand.

Erosion shows up where bare sand sits on slopes, cut banks and shorelines. Rip rap armors those spots against waves and spring runoff, and a drainage layer under a slab keeps water from sitting against a foundation.

Delivery to Stevens Point and the Surrounding Area

Wisconsin Rock Supply covers Stevens Point and the rest of Portage County, including Plover, Amherst, Bancroft, Rosholt and Almond. Order online and choose your material, then set the quantity by the ton or the cubic yard.

Bulk delivery drops the load where you need it, so have the access path cleared and the dump spot marked before the truck arrives. Soft ground after a thaw is the main thing to watch, since a loaded truck needs firm footing.

If you are unsure how much you need, measure the area and depth and order a little extra. A base course settles as it compacts, and a second load slows the job more than a little extra material would.

Questions About Gravel in Stevens Point

Do you deliver traffic bond to Stevens Point, WI?

Yes. Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers 3/4 inch traffic bond to Stevens Point and the surrounding Portage County area. It is a crushed dense graded base that packs hard, and it works for driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases. Order by the ton or yard and have your dump spot ready before the truck arrives.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Stevens Point?

Start with traffic bond as your base, since it compacts hard and sheds water. If the ground is soft or clay-heavy, put breaker run underneath first. Top it with driveway gravel for a finished surface, or screenings if you want a tight, hard-packing top. Sandy ground here drains fast, so keep the crown so water runs off.
