Fill Dirt Delivery for Felch, MI

Michigan Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Felch, MI, and the ground here shapes what you should order. This part of the Western Upper Peninsula sits on stony, sandy glacial drift over hard bedrock that lies close to the surface or breaks through in many places. That uneven, rocky ground is why so many Felch projects start with fill dirt and a compacted base instead of a thin layer of stone over native soil.

For most driveways and pads, 21AA limestone is the material that finishes the job.

Delivery to Felch and the Surrounding Area

Ordering online keeps the process simple. You pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and set a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site.

If you are unsure how much you need, enter your project measurements in the calculator and it will size the load for you. That saves a second trip and keeps the pile from sitting unused in your yard.

Michigan Rock Supply delivers across Felch and Dickinson County, including Iron Mountain, Kingsford, Norway, Quinnesec and Sagola. Bulk loads go straight to the driveway, pad or building site, so plan where you want the truck to drop and spread.

Materials for Felch Projects

Most work around here starts below the finished surface. Raising grade and building a pad means bringing in bulk fill first, then capping it with a base that will compact and hold. Get that order right and everything above it lasts.

Driveways and building pads

Start with Fill Dirt to raise low ground and build up a pad before any stone goes down. On top of that, 21AA Limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base and the right cap for a compacted pad. Where you want a hard-packing blend of stone, sand and fines instead, 22A Road Gravel works for unpaved drives and private roads. Note that 21AA and 22A are different classes, so pick the one that matches the job. To surface an existing drive, Driveway Gravel is the top layer.

Patios, walkways and bedding

Under pavers and flagstone, Stone Screenings give you a fine, level bed that locks the units in place. For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel offers a finer surface that is comfortable underfoot. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

Drainage

Wet ground needs stone that lets water move. Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs, including the slow-draining clay found along parts of the Lake Superior shore. For drive surfacing and construction entrances, 3/4" Crushed Stone is a solid choice. Where water has to move fast, #57 Stone is a common drainage and concrete aggregate.

Ground and Conditions in Felch

Shallow bedrock and rocky, uneven ground push snowmelt into low spots and wetlands every spring. Water that has nowhere to go will find the weakest part of a base, so a drainage layer matters as much as the stone on top.

Snowmelt runoff on rocky slopes scours ditches and stream banks, and storms and ice work on the Lake Superior shore. That is where rip rap earns its place, armoring culvert outlets, slopes and banks against moving water and ice.

The working season is shorter here than in the Lower Peninsula. It runs from a late spring thaw into fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on state highways and many county roads through the thaw, so timing your delivery around that window pays off.

Winters are long and cold, and the spring thaw softens roadbeds and gravel drives. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, and the building official can require deeper footings where local conditions call for it.
