What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and packs tightly, which is why 21AA limestone and 22A road gravel work as base under drives and pads. Pea stone is small and rounded, so it stays loose and drains well. Use pea stone for walkways, play areas and dog runs, and crushed stone where you need structure.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work. Order by the ton when you know the weight you need, and by the yard when you are working from volume. Use the calculator to size the load for your area and depth, then choose the unit at checkout.

Materials Delivered in Genesee County

Choose by material family. Base material builds the structure, washed stone moves water, sand beds and levels, soil and mulch finish the ground, and decorative rock handles the visible work.

Give 21AA limestone the most thought. Class 22A is a different class, a dense-graded aggregate with a smaller top size, used as road gravel on unpaved drives and roads and as base.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground next door changes the pick. Saginaw County sits in the Great Lakes Bay Region on the Southeast lake plain, Saginaw Bay and the Thumb zone: a flat former glacial lake bed of clay, silty clay and clay loam, crossed in places by sandy beach ridges, low dunes and sand channels, and mostly poorly drained. That pushes drainage rock and a coarser base higher on the list.

Tuscola County, in the Thumb, spans that same lake plain zone and the Southern Lower Peninsula moraines and till plains. Genesee County sits in the moraines and till plains zone, so the two share ground and typical projects compare closely.

Oakland County, in Southeast Michigan, also spans the moraines and till plains zone and the lake plain zone. Ground there is similar to Genesee County, so the material choice usually turns on the project rather than the soil.

Ground Conditions Across Genesee County

Start with water. Rain and spring snowmelt drain fast through sand and gravel, then stand on clay till flats and in poorly drained depressions and outwash channels. Many sites here rely on tile or ditches to move it.

The ground is a patchwork of glacial deposits: loamy and clay loam till on flat to rolling plains, sandy and gravelly moraines and outwash, and wet muck or peat in kettle holes and other low spots. Match your base and drainage layer to what is under it.

Freeze-thaw hits every winter and spring. As frost comes out of the ground, soaked soil loses strength, so gravel drives and thin bases can rut and heave. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.

Runoff from heavy rain and snowmelt scours sloping moraine ground, roadside ditches and stream banks. Arm those slopes with rip rap. 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 county roads during the spring thaw.
