Fill and Base Material Delivered in Augusta, MI

Michigan Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Augusta, MI. Sandy ground drains fast here, but snowmelt and heavy rain still pool on clay till and in low hollows. That is where 21AA limestone earns its place. It packs hard, sheds water, and holds a driveway or a building pad through freeze and thaw.

Order online, pick your tonnage, and we haul it to your site in Kalamazoo County.

Materials for Augusta Projects

Most jobs in Augusta start below grade. You raise the low spot, build the pad, then cap it. Get the fill and sub-base right and everything above it lasts.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise low ground and shape a pad before any base goes down. Grade it, compact it, then cap it with 21AA Limestone. That crushed limestone with fines is the standard Michigan driveway base.

Under a driveway, 21AA limestone does the structural work. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. For an unpaved private road, 22A Road Gravel packs hard from stone, sand and fines. It is a different class from 21AA, and it is not a drainage material.

Wet ground needs a drainage layer, not more fill. Use Drain Rock in French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and RipRap where water moves fast against a bank or culvert outlet.

Ground and Conditions in Augusta

Augusta sits in the Southwest and West Michigan sands zone. Expect sand and gravel outwash plains, with clayey till and wet muck in the low spots and hollows.

Sandy ground drains fast and holds little water. The trouble is snowmelt and heavy rain collecting on clay till and in those hollows. An under-built base fails there first, so dig out the soft material instead of filling over it.

Freeze-thaw hits every winter and spring, and lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan adds to the melt. Thawing roadbeds soften, so gravel drives rut. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, which is why base depth matters here.

Bare sand washes out on slopes and in ditches. Line those runs with stone, and time your work from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the thaw.

Delivery to Augusta and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. Not sure how much you need? Measure the area, decide your depth, and the calculator on each product page does the math.

Bulk delivery drops where the truck can reach. Point us to the pad, the driveway, or the spot you want the pile set. A 21AA load for a driveway and a fill dirt load for a pad often ship together, so you are not moving material twice.

We deliver across Augusta and Kalamazoo County, including Kalamazoo, Portage, Vicksburg, Galesburg and Schoolcraft.

Questions from Augusta Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Augusta?

Compact 21AA limestone first, then bed the pavers in Stone Screenings. The 21AA carries the load and sheds water; the screenings give you a fine, level bed. On sandy ground, excavate until you hit firm material before you build the base, or the pavers will settle out of line.

Do you supply contractors working in Augusta?

Yes. Contractors, builders and homeowners all order the same way, online, with delivery to the site. Order 21AA limestone, 22A road gravel, sand, topsoil or fill dirt by the ton or yard. Schedule around the spring thaw when frost laws slow heavy trucks on county roads.
