Materials for Free Soil Projects

Most Free Soil landscape work is about beds, borders and dry creek beds. Sandy ground drains fast, so decorative rock holds up well and stays put on slopes when you bed it right.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• Pea Stone for walkways, play areas and dog runs.
• RipRap for shoreline, stream bank and slope armoring.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

For the hard-working layers underneath, 21AA limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. It is a crushed limestone with fines. Use 21AA Limestone for driveways, parking pads and pole barn bases.

22A road gravel is a different class from 21AA. It packs hard from stone, sand and fines, so it suits unpaved drives and private roads but not drainage. Order 22A Road Gravel where you want a tight surface.

Ground and Conditions in Free Soil

Free Soil sits on the Northern Lower Peninsula ground zone: sandy glacial outwash plains and sandy to loamy moraines, with swamps and wet lowlands nearby. Sandy uplands drain quickly, so water trouble usually shows up as spring snowmelt and heavy lake-effect snow.

That fast drainage cuts both ways. Water leaves a sandy subgrade quickly, but a base laid too thin still ruts and shifts under a truck. Compact each layer and bed edging into the fines, not just the stone.

Bare sand on slopes, in ditches and along stream banks washes out in heavy rain and snowmelt. RipRap and river rock armor those spots. Along the Lake Michigan shore, high water, storms and ice work on the bank, so heavy stone belongs at the water line.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into fall here, a shorter season than in southern Michigan. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws on state highways and county roads can stay in place here after they lift farther south.

Winters run longer and colder than in southern Michigan, with deep lake-effect snow in the snowbelts. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, and the building official can require deeper footings where local conditions call for it.
