Materials for Stratford Projects

Landscaping work here is about moving water and covering ground. Start with decorative rock for beds and borders, then layer in drainage stone where the yard stays wet.

• River Rock: decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Round stone that sheds runoff instead of trapping it.
• Large River Rock: heavier dry creek beds and erosion work on slopes that take spring runoff.
• Drain Rock: clear drain stone for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. A washed stone with the fines screened out, so water moves through it.
• Natural Pea Gravel: walkways, play areas, dog runs and a drainage layer under beds.
• 3/4" Traffic Bond: the local name for 3/4 inch dense graded base. It packs hard for parking pads, shed bases and the driveway under a decorative top.

On soft or clay ground, cap Breaker Run with traffic bond before you finish. Breaker run is the coarse sub-base; traffic bond is the surface that locks up.

Ground and Conditions in Stratford

This part of Wisconsin sits in the northern glacial uplands. Ground runs from sand and gravel and stony sandy loam to silty loam where windblown silt caps the till. Low, wet ground holds peat and muck.

That mix decides your base. Sandy outwash drains fast, but dense till holds water, so a thin base over wet silt heaves as the ground thaws. Build deeper and use a drainage layer.

Frost drives the rest. Long, cold winters push frost deeper and leave the ground later than in southern Wisconsin. Footings need at least 48 inches under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and any base over silty or loamy ground can soften as it thaws. For footings, frost depth and the spring thaw set the number.

Runoff carries loose sand and silt off bare slopes and cleared lots into ditches and streams, and it wears away unprotected banks. Arm those slopes with rip rap. Line wet runs with drain rock or clear stone, and set decorative beds on a compacted traffic bond base so the edging stays put.

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

Delivery to Stratford and the Surrounding Area

Ordering online is the fastest path. Choose your material, enter the quantity, and set the delivery address. Quantity is sold by the ton, and the product pages explain how to convert your measurements.

Sketch the area first: length, width and depth in feet. Multiply for cubic feet, then convert to tons. A parking pad is a common job, so measure its length, width and depth before you use the calculator. Rough in a little extra for compaction.

We deliver bulk loads across Stratford and Marathon County, including Wausau, Rothschild, Mosinee, Schofield and Ringle. Get the truck path clear and pick a drop spot the driver can reach. Then place the pile near the work, not across the lawn.

Questions Stratford Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area in feet, then multiply length by width by depth in feet for cubic feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards, or use the tonnage listed on the product page. Decorative rock beds usually go down in a thin layer. Driveway and pad bases go down as a thicker compacted layer. Add a little extra for settling.

Yes. Order by the ton online and we deliver bulk loads to Stratford and the surrounding Marathon County area. Traffic bond, breaker run, drain rock, decorative stone, sand and topsoil all ship this way. Enter your tonnage, confirm the delivery address, and we handle the haul.
