Most of the ground here is flat former lake bed clay that drains slowly. That shapes what goes under your driveway.

Materials for Detroit Projects

Start with the base. 21AA limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. It packs hard and carries a loaded truck.

Need a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for an unpaved drive or private road? Use 22A road gravel. It is a different class from 21AA and is not for drainage work.

Top a compacted 21AA base with Driveway Gravel for the surface you drive on. For walkways and garden paths, Walkway Gravel finishes finer and stays walkable.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Stone and #67 Stone both work for drainage and concrete, with #67 running slightly smaller. Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs in slow clay.

Sand and soil round out the order. Mason Sand beds pavers and block. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Screened topsoil rebuilds a lawn or bed over clay.

Ground and Conditions in Detroit

Rain and spring snowmelt have nowhere fast to go on this flat lake plain. Water stands in low spots, and much of the land leans on ditches and tile drains to move it. Plan a drainage layer, not just a surface.

Freeze-thaw runs every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water stays trapped in the soaked soil, and roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. This zone carries a frost depth of 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, so build base depth for that movement.

Streams and ditches on the plain rise fast after a storm and scour their banks. High water, storms and ice work on the shoreline too. RipRap armors culvert outlets, banks and slopes against that.

Time the work around the season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw, so plan your drop around them.

Delivery to Detroit and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by the truckload, dumped where you point it. Have the drop spot clear before the truck shows. Mark any overhead wires, and keep the path wide enough for a truck to back in and pull out.

Order online by the ton or the yard. Measure your area and depth first, then pick the quantity. If you are unsure, size up; extra base is easier to spread than a short load is to stretch.

We deliver across Detroit and Wayne County, including Dearborn, Canton, Livonia, Westland and Taylor. Give the driver a clear address and a firm spot for the pile.
