Start with traffic bond, the crushed dense-graded base this market runs on. Then pick your surface. The ground here decides how deep it goes.

Materials for Tomahawk Projects

Paths and walkways around Tomahawk hold up because of their fines. Get the bedding right and a walk stays flat for years. Skip it and you are re-raking every spring.

Screenings, also called stone screenings or stone dust, are the first call for paver bedding and walkway topping. They pack hard and lock pavers in place. Buyers in Wisconsin ask for screenings, not stone dust.

Walkway Gravel gives you a finer, walkable surface for garden paths. It knits together underfoot instead of rolling like loose stone.

Under a path, build the base first. 3/4" Traffic Bond is the crushed dense-graded base sold across Wisconsin. Some suppliers label it road gravel. It compacts hard and holds an edge.

For a heavy sub-base over soft or clay ground, use Breaker Run. Cap it with traffic bond. Do not call it crusher run here; in Wisconsin it is breaker run.

Drainage under a walk or patio bed calls for 3/4" Crushed Stone, which Wisconsin crews call clear stone because the fines are screened out. Water moves, the bed stays put.

Ground and Conditions in Tomahawk

A thin base shows itself fast here. Walk a path in April and you will feel the soft spots heave under your boots.

That is dense till at work. Glacial till slows water from soaking in, so snowmelt and heavy rain collect in low spots and flat fields. Sandy outwash drains quickly, but the till does not.

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

Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later here. Wet, silty spots heave under a thin base as the ground thaws.

Tomahawk walks need a deeper base and a place for water to go. Go deeper than you think you need under a walk, and put clear stone or Drain Rock where water sits. Compact in lifts, and keep runoff off bare slopes, because snowmelt and rain carry loose sand and silt into ditches and lakes.

Delivery to Tomahawk and the Surrounding Area

Choose tons or yards first. Pick the unit that matches how you are measuring the hole, then estimate the volume.

Multiply length by width by depth in feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards. Bulk material settles and compacts, so round up rather than short the job.

Order online and Wisconsin Rock Supply delivers to the city and Lincoln County, including Merrill, Gleason, Irma and Tripoli. Tell us where to dump and we spot the pile near the work.

Have the surface ready and the area clear. A full load needs firm ground to sit on.

Questions from Tomahawk Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the dump spot and mark anything you do not want driven over. Firm, level ground keeps the truck from sinking. Point out the exact place you want the pile, close to the work but clear of the driveway. If a gate, low wire or soft shoulder is in the way, say so before the driver backs in.

What is the best base under pavers in Tomahawk?

Use 3/4" Traffic Bond for the structural base, compacted in lifts. Top it with a bedding layer of screenings to set the pavers. Because frost leaves the ground late here, dig deeper than the minimum and keep the base drained, so thawing till cannot heave the surface. Clear stone at the low edge helps water escape.
