Hartland sits at the edge of the glacial ground that runs through this part of the state, so lots here range from sandy moraine to muck in the low spots. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the spring thaw.

Materials for Hartland Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover carry a lot of yards here, and that work starts with the surface you see and the base under it. Begin with the base, then pick the stone that finishes the job.

• 21AA Limestone for driveways, parking pads and pole barn bases. This is the base that everything else sits on.
• Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted 21AA base.
• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• Stone Screenings for paver, flagstone and patio bedding.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over the sandy and clay glacial soils in this area.

What to order for a driveway, a patio, or a drain

For a decorative bed, river rock and large river rock read clean against mulch and hold their color. Set them over a base that drains so the bed does not turn into a wet pocket.

Ground and Conditions in Hartland

This part of the Southern Lower Peninsula 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.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain drain fast through sand and gravel but stand on clay till flats and in poorly drained depressions. Many sites here rely on tile or ditches. If your ground holds water, under-building the base is what fails first, so plan the drainage layer and the depth together before the stone goes down.

Runoff from heavy rain and snowmelt scours sloping moraine ground, roadside ditches and stream banks, which is where riprap and heavier stone earn their place. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Freeze-thaw every winter and spring means gravel drives and thin bases can rut and heave as frost comes out of the ground.
