Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Fraser, MI

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run, gravel and aggregate delivery in Fraser, MI starts with the base. Michigan Rock Supply sells 21AA limestone, the standard Michigan driveway base, along with the washed stone, sand and soil that go around it. Most of the ground here is flat former lake bed, so the material under your project matters as much as the material on top.

Materials for Fraser Projects

Start with the base and work up. That order keeps a driveway from rutting the first spring it sees.

• 21AA Limestone is the base for driveways, parking pads and pole barn or shed floors. It is a crushed limestone with fines, and it packs hard.
• 22A Road Gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads. It is not a drainage material.
• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted 21AA base with a cleaner look under tires.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
• Drain Rock goes into French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, which is what slow clay ground needs.

Around the house, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patios, and Mason Sand fills brick and block work and paver joints. For beds and borders, River Rock and Pea Stone cover ground that mowers should not.

Ground and Conditions in Fraser

Fraser sits in Macomb County on flat former glacial lake bed, mostly clay, silty clay and clay loam. Much of that ground drains poorly, so spring snowmelt and heavy rain stand in low spots instead of soaking away.

That is why the base depth and the drainage layer do the real work here. Water that cannot move down has to move sideways, so a driveway over clay wants a compacted 21AA limestone base and a stone edge that lets water out. A drainage run wants washed stone such as #57 Stone or Drain Rock, not a mix with fines that seals up.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in soaked soil, and roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. The Michigan Residential Code sets frost depth at 42 inches, a footing depth set by the building official rather than a base thickness.

Timing follows the same pattern. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many roads during the spring thaw, so plan the load around the season.
