Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Calumet, MI

Michigan Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Calumet, MI. The working season here is short. A late spring thaw softens ground, and frozen ground stops compaction through winter. So most drives and pads go in between thaw and fall.

Plan your load around that window. 21AA limestone is the base most Houghton County drives are built on, and it is the material we lead with here.

Materials for Calumet Projects

Most work in Calumet starts with a base. 21AA limestone is a crushed limestone with fines. It packs hard and carries a driveway, parking pad, or pole barn base. Order it at 21AA Limestone.

22A road gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads. It is not a drainage material. See 22A Road Gravel. For topping over a compacted base, use Driveway Gravel.

Washed stone solves water problems. Drain Rock goes in French drains, drywells and downspout runs, including in slow-draining clay. 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

For a finer surface, Walkway Gravel suits paths. Sand, soil and mulch finish the rest: Mason Sand for brick and block work, Top Soil for lawns and beds, and Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Calumet

Water drives most of the problems here. Heavy spring snowmelt over shallow bedrock and rocky, uneven ground pushes water into low spots and wetlands. Clay plain along parts of the Lake Superior shore drains slowly.

That is why drainage matters as much as base. A drive over ground like this needs a stone layer that moves water instead of holding it. Drain rock and 3/4 inch stone handle that.

Snowmelt runoff on rocky slopes scours ditches and stream banks. High water, storms and ice work on the Lake Superior shore. Riprap armors culvert outlets, stream banks and slopes against that.

Frost shapes the calendar too. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on state highways and many county roads through the thaw, so build and delivery timing follow the same window.

Delivery to Calumet and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. Order online, choose your quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. The load gets tipped where you want it.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Pick a firm, level place the driver can reach and back out of, and keep it free of parked vehicles and equipment. On soft spring ground, a spot near the road edge is often the safer call.

We deliver across Calumet and Houghton County, including Houghton, Hancock, Lake Linden, Chassell and Atlantic Mine. Not sure how much you need? Size the load with the calculator before you order.
