Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Canton, MI

Planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Canton, MI usually starts with one job: a new driveway, a parking pad, or a pole barn base. Michigan Rock Supply stocks 21AA limestone, the crushed limestone with fines this market specifies for driveways and pads.

The ground here is flat former lake bed clay, so most projects need a base that drains and packs hard. That shapes what we load and how deep you build.

Materials for Canton Projects

Most calls we take are driveway calls. You are either building a new drive, widening one, or topping a base that has gone soft. The material you pick depends on how far down the work goes.

For a full build, start with 21AA Limestone. It is the standard Michigan driveway base, a dense-graded crushed limestone with fines that compacts tight and stays put. It also works for parking pads and shed bases.

If you want a hard-packing blend of stone, sand and fines for an unpaved drive or private road, use 22A Road Gravel. Once the base is compacted, finish with Driveway Gravel or a finer surface such as Walkway Gravel for paths.

Water is the other half of the job. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and it holds up in the slow-draining clay. For a driveway apron, construction entrance or heavy trench bottom, #4 Crushed Stone gives you coarse stone that will not shift under truck traffic.

Ground and Conditions in Canton

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain land on flat, slow-draining clay here, and water stands in the low spots. Much of the land leans on ditches and tile drains to move it away. Plan the drainage run before you plan the gravel.

Freeze-thaw hits every winter and spring. As frost comes out of the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil, so roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, which is why we push base depth over a thin dressing.

Build the base thick enough to bridge that soft spring layer, and give the water somewhere to go. A 21AA base over drain rock at the low edge beats a shallow cap every time. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, since frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw, so order timing matters.

Streams and ditches on the flat lake plain rise fast after rain and snowmelt and scour their banks. If your project sits near one, line it with RipRap before the next high water.

Delivery to Canton and the Surrounding Area

Order online and size your load by the ton or the yard. Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you want it, so pick the spot before the truck shows up. Think about overhead wires, soft turf and where the pile will sit while you move it.

A clear, firm approach helps. If the ground is soaked clay, the truck may not be able to leave the driveway without rutting it, so stage the drop near the road instead. We deliver across Canton in Wayne County, and we cover the same county in Detroit, Dearborn, Livonia, Westland and Taylor.
