Materials for Washburn Projects

Most projects here start with grading and end with soil. If you are raising a low spot, roughing in a lawn or replanting beds, order the soil and fill first, because everything else gets built on top of it.

Top Soil is pulverized so it spreads fine through a spreader or off a shovel. Use it for lawns, grading and bed prep over ground that has already been shaped and settled.

Garden Soil is a topsoil and compost blend, which is what most Wisconsin yards mean by garden mix. It feeds raised beds and planting areas without extra amendment.

Fill Dirt brings grade up before topsoil goes on. Filling a low corner or backfilling a foundation works better with fill than with soil you paid to have screened.

Underneath all of it, 3/4" Traffic Bond is the crushed dense graded base that packs hard. It carries driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases, and it is what a Wisconsin yard calls traffic bond.

Where the ground is soft or heavy with clay, start with Breaker Run as a coarse sub-base, then cap it with traffic bond. On top of a compacted base, Screenings bed pavers and pack into a hard top dressing for drives.

Ground and Conditions in Washburn

Start with water, because that decides your base depth. Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the flat, tight red clay here, and the water cannot soak down while the ground below is still frozen. It runs sideways instead, along the surface and into any low spot you have.

More soil on top will not help; this clay needs a deeper base and a way to drain. A thin gravel base heaves and ruts through the thaw, so build up in lifts and compact each one. Frost goes at least 48 inches deep for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and it leaves the ground later than in southern Wisconsin.

Plan ground work once the thaw is finished and the clay has drained.

Erosion is the other local driver. Streams cut steep, slumping banks and gorges into the red clay, and waves, groundwater and freeze-thaw wear back the Lake Superior shore. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against waves, spring runoff and heavy rain.

For water that has to move, Drain Rock is clear drain stone for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone is clear stone with the fines screened out, for drainage beds and backfill around foundations and pipe.

Delivery to Washburn and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you need it, so have the drop spot cleared and reachable before the truck shows up. Measure the gate or driveway width and note any overhead wires, low branches or soft ground the driver should know about.

Order by the ton or by the yard, and size the load with the calculator on the product page before you check out. Loose material settles after it is placed and compacted, so figure your volume from the finished depth you want, not the pile you want to see.

We deliver across Bayfield County, including Iron River, Bayfield, Cable, Port Wing and Drummond. Washburn sits in Bayfield County, and the same truck that serves the city runs out to those towns.
