Dearborn sits on flat former lake bed ground, clay and silty clay that drains slowly. That ground decides what your patio base has to do.

Ground and Conditions in Dearborn

Watch what a thin base does here. Frost comes out of the ground in spring, water sits in the soaked clay, and a patio or drive built on too little stone ruts and shifts. Freeze-thaw runs every winter and spring.

The fix is a compacted base with a drainage layer that moves water away. The Michigan Residential Code sets frost depth at 42 inches for footings, and that is a footing depth set by the building official, not a base thickness.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain on flat, slow-draining clay leave water standing in low spots. Much of the land relies on ditches and tile drains. Plan your drainage before you order bedding.

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

Materials for Dearborn Projects

Start with the bedding. Mason sand sets paver joints and beds brick and block work. It packs level under a patio and holds a flat plane. Order Mason Sand for the bedding layer and the joints.

Under the bedding, you need a compacted structural base. It locks up hard under a plate compactor. Order 21AA Limestone for the base under pavers and flatwork.

Set the base on clean, well-graded fill where the ground is low. Fill Dirt raises low ground and grades a site before the 21AA goes down.

For leveling and bedding under slabs, Washed Sand gives you a clean, consistent bed. For finer joint work and tight bedding, Stone Screenings pack tight around flagstone and paver edges.

Drainage matters as much as bedding on this ground. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs in slow-draining clay. Pair it with a compacted 21AA base and your patio stays put.
