Materials for Covington Projects

Most work here starts with dirt, not stone. Grading a yard, raising low ground or building beds comes first, and the base goes down after. These are the materials buyers in Baraga County order for that work.

• Fill Dirt for bulk fill, grading and raising low ground before a 21AA base goes down.
• Top Soil, screened topsoil for new lawns and beds over sandy or clay glacial soils.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.
• 21AA Limestone, the standard Michigan driveway base, for drives, parking pads and shed bases.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings, holding moisture through the summer.

21AA limestone and 22A road gravel are different classes, not the same material. 21AA packs hard and carries a drive. 22A Road Gravel is a mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads where a hard-packing base is wanted.

Ground and Conditions in Covington

Heavy spring snowmelt drives most of the water problems here. Stony, sandy glacial drift sits over hard bedrock that lies close to the surface or is exposed in many places, so meltwater sheets off instead of soaking in. It collects in low spots and wetlands.

Along parts of the Lake Superior shore you get clay plain instead. That ground drains slowly and holds water through a wet spring. Where a foundation drain, drywell or downspout run is going in, Drain Rock gives the water somewhere to go.

Snowmelt runoff on rocky slopes and hills 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.

The working season is shorter than in the Lower Peninsula, running from a late spring thaw into fall. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on state highways and many county roads through the thaw, so time your delivery to the road conditions.
