Materials for Valders Projects

Decorative rock carries the landscape work here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all need stone that looks right and drains.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.
• RipRap for slope armoring against waves and spring runoff.
• Screenings for paver bedding and a hard-packing top dressing on drives.

Build the bed right and the stone lasts. Excavate, lay down a separation fabric, then set your stone at the depth the edge will hold.

Hardscape jobs run on base. Order 3/4" Traffic Bond for a driveway, parking pad, shed or patio base. It packs hard and stays put. On soft or clay ground, start with Breaker Run and cap it with traffic bond.

Drains and wet spots take clear stone, the crushed stone with the fines screened out. Order Drain Rock for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Fine drainage and pipe bedding take 3/8" Crushed Stone.

Lawns and beds take Top Soil, sold pulverized so it spreads fine. Many buyers here call it black dirt. Raised beds take garden mix, a topsoil and compost blend.

Ground and Conditions in Valders

Valders sits on clay-rich, limy glacial till and old lake-bed clays and silts that drain slowly. Water ponds on flat ground. It cannot drain down at all while the subsoil is still frozen.

That soil punishes a thin base. Wet clay over still-frozen ground turns soft, and a shallow gravel layer heaves and ruts by spring. Build deeper and compact in lifts. Frost depth runs at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter.

Drainage stone pays for itself on ground like this. A French drain or a clear stone bed gives ponded water somewhere to go.

Time the work. Clay sites stay soft after the thaw and after heavy rain. Base and paver work goes best once the ground has drained, from late spring into fall. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, so plan heavy loads around that window.

Order online. Pick your material, then choose a quantity by the ton or the cubic yard. If you are unsure, measure the area and use a shallow depth for decorative stone, more for a base.

We deliver bulk loads to sites in Valders and across Manitowoc County, including Manitowoc, Two Rivers, Kiel, Newton and Cleveland. Place the load where you want it dumped so you are not moving stone twice. Keep the truck path firm; soft clay ground will not carry a loaded truck in a wet spring.
