Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Clawson, MI

Michigan Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Clawson, MI, from 21AA limestone to screened topsoil. The ground here is flat former lake bed clay, so most projects start with grading, fill and a base that drains.

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck drops the load where you need it.

Materials for Clawson Projects

Soil and fill do the quiet work on most Clawson jobs. If your yard holds water after a storm, the fix starts under the grass, not on top of it.

Top Soil is screened for new lawns and bed prep over the clay and sandy glacial ground here. Spread it after you grade, then seed into it.

Fill Dirt raises low spots and grades a site before anything else goes down. On flat, poorly drained ground, getting the grade right first saves you from a soft spot later.

Garden Soil suits raised beds and planting areas where you want workable ground instead of heavy clay.

Once the grade is set, base and stone take over. 21AA Limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. It packs hard for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted 21AA base. For a finer, walkable finish, Walkway Gravel fits paths and garden walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Clawson

Clawson sits on the Southeast lake plain, a flat former glacial lake bed of clay, silty clay and clay loam. Most of the ground is poorly drained, and water stands in low spots after rain.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain have nowhere fast to go on that clay. Much of the land relies on ditches and tile drains, so where your water leaves the site matters as much as what you put on top.

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 is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Seasonal weight restrictions, known as frost laws, limit heavy trucks on many roads during the spring thaw.

For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs in slow-draining clay. #57 Stone works for French drains and concrete aggregate.

Questions About Ordering in Clawson

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

Use the calculator to work out how much you need for your driveway, bed or fill area, then choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site in Clawson.

What stone should I use for drainage in Clawson?

Drain Rock is the practical choice for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, and it works in the slow-draining clay ground common here. For a smaller washed stone, #57 Stone suits French drains and concrete aggregate. Both let water move instead of pooling in the low spots that form on this flat lake plain.
