Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Tilleda, WI

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Tilleda, WI, Wisconsin Rock Supply stocks the materials this ground actually calls for. Traffic bond is the local name for the crushed dense-graded base that packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed floors. Around here, dense till slows water from soaking in, so a lot of Tilleda jobs start with drainage, not surface.

That is why washed stone matters as much as base. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with the fines screened out, or they silt shut and stop working.

Materials for Tilleda Projects

Drainage work runs coarsest to finest. Pick the size that matches the trench, the bed or the surface, and the material will keep doing its job after the spring thaw.

• Drain Rock is the workhorse for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. It stays open so water moves instead of pooling.
• #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances where the stone has to carry weight.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as clear stone, goes into drainage beds and backfill around foundations and pipe.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone is the finer clear stone for pipe bedding, permeable paver bases and tight drainage work.
• 3/4" Traffic Bond caps a compacted base under drives, pads and patios once the drainage layer is in and the subgrade is firm.

For a soft or clay-heavy sub-base, start with Breaker Run and cap it with traffic bond. It is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up where the ground will not.

Ground and Conditions in Tilleda

This part of Shawano County sits on glacial till and outwash. You get everything from sand and gravel to stony sandy loam, with silty loam where windblown silt caps the till. Low, wet ground holds peat and muck.

Sandy outwash drains fast. Dense till does not, so snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots, wetlands and flat fields. While the subsoil is still frozen, that water cannot drain down at all.

Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later than in southern Wisconsin. Wet, silty spots heave and soften under a thin base, so plan depth for the thaw.

Spring weight limits on Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads lift later here. Ground work waits until frost is out and soils have drained.
