3/8 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Au Gres, MI

Start with the math before you call for gravel and aggregate delivery in Au Gres, MI. Measure the length and width, pick your depth, then convert to tons or yards. Michigan Rock Supply sells 21AA limestone and washed stone in bulk, so you order the number the job actually needs instead of guessing at a pile size.

Around here most ground is flat clay that holds water, so drainage material matters as much as base material. Get the quantity right and the right stone, and the rest of the work goes faster.

Materials for Au Gres Projects

On flat, poorly drained ground, water has nowhere to go. That is why the washed stone matters here. It has no fines to pack tight, so water moves through it instead of sitting on top. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all depend on clean stone.

We sort the list coarsest to finest so you can match the size to the job.

For a driveway, 21AA limestone is still the standard base in Michigan. It is a crushed limestone with fines, and it packs hard under a plate compactor. Top it with Driveway Gravel once the base is tight.

For a walkway or garden path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, more walkable surface than a drive mix. Around beds and borders, River Rock and Pea Stone handle the decorative side, and pea stone also works for play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Au Gres

This corner of the state is a flat former glacial lake bed, clay and silty clay with sandy beach ridges running through it. Most of the ground drains poorly, and a lot of it leans on ditches and tile. Spring snowmelt and heavy rain leave water standing in the low spots.

That shapes the base. A thin layer of 21AA limestone over wet clay will pump and rut, so dig out the soft material first, put down a drainage layer of clean stone, then build the base on top. Freeze-thaw every winter and spring makes it worse: as frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil and roadbeds soften. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.

Timing matters too. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw, so plan the delivery around the season.
