Materials for Attica Projects

Beds, borders and dry creek beds carry the look of a property. They also carry the runoff. Start with decorative stone, then build the drainage under it.

Decorative rock and beds

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• Pea Stone for walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.

Line a dry creek bed with large river rock, then set river rock along the edges. Pea stone handles the walking surfaces. A dry creek bed only works if the stone is sized to the flow, so match the rock to the water you expect.

Ground cover and soil

Set beds on Top Soil screened for new lawns and beds. Use Garden Soil in raised beds and planting areas. Finish with Shredded Mulch to hold moisture through the summer.

Drainage and base

Where water sits, order Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. Clay ground here needs it. For driveways, parking pads and pole barn bases, start with 21AA limestone.

Ground and Conditions in Attica

Lapeer County ground is a patchwork of glacial deposits. You get loamy and clay loam till on flat to rolling plains. You get sandy and gravelly moraines and outwash. You get wet muck or peat in kettle holes and other low spots.

That mix decides your base depth. Sand and gravel drain fast, so a thin base holds up. Clay till flats and poorly drained depressions do not. Water stands there, and many sites rely on tile or ditches to move it.

Freeze-thaw runs every winter and spring. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code. As frost comes out, the soaked soil loses strength. Gravel drives and thin bases rut and heave. Dig deeper on clay, compact in lifts, and add a drainage layer.

Runoff from heavy rain and snowmelt scours sloping moraine ground, roadside ditches and stream banks. Riprap and large river rock armor those slopes.

Time your work. Base, driveway and paver jobs run from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the thaw.

Delivery to Attica and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick a quantity. Bulk material sells by the ton or by the cubic yard, and the product page shows which one applies. Measure your area and depth before you order. One ton of stone covers far less ground than one ton of mulch.

We deliver bulk loads to sites in Attica and across Lapeer County, including Lapeer, Imlay City, Almont, Dryden and North Branch. Have the drop spot clear and reachable. A load of 21AA limestone needs firm ground under the truck, especially during the spring thaw when frost laws are in effect.

Questions About Ordering

How much material will my project need?

Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Stone is usually ordered by the ton, so ask us to convert once you have your yardage. Remember that a compacted base shrinks, so order slightly more than the finished volume you calculated. Depth matters more than area on clay ground.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Attica?

Yes. Order by the ton online and we deliver the load to your site in Attica. Buy 21AA limestone by the ton for a driveway base, or drainage stone by the ton for a French drain. Enter your quantity at checkout and we handle the rest.
