Fill Dirt Delivery for Holland, MI

Michigan Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Holland, MI, and the first stop for most buyers is the calculator. Punch in your area and depth, and it sizes the load for you. Around here the work usually starts lower than the driveway: fill dirt to raise grade, then 21AA limestone over the top.

Holland sits in Ottawa County, on sandy ground with clay and muck in the low spots. That mix decides what goes under your slab.

Delivery to Holland and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site. The calculator handles the sizing so you are not guessing at a pile you cannot use.

Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the spring thaw. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, so plan your delivery around that window.

We deliver across Holland and out to Zeeland, Hudsonville, Jenison, Allendale and Grand Haven in the same county. If your site is on a tight lot or a long private drive, say so when you order and the driver can plan the drop.

Materials for Holland Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. If your pad, driveway or shed site sits low, Fill Dirt goes down first to raise it and build the pad. Pack it, then cap it with a dense-graded base.

That cap is usually 21AA Limestone, the standard Michigan driveway base. It is a crushed limestone with fines. It packs hard and carries a truck. Where you want a mix of stone, sand and fines instead, 22A Road Gravel is the other dense-graded class, and it is not the same material as 21AA.

For drainage and bedding work, match the stone to the job:

• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, including slow-draining clay ground.
• #57 Stone for drainage and concrete aggregate.
• Stone Screenings for paver, flagstone and patio bedding.
• RipRap for lakefront, culvert outlets and slope armoring against waves and ice.

Ground and Conditions in Holland

Holland sits in the Southwest and West Michigan sands and Lake Michigan shore zone. Most ground here is sandy: outwash plains, sandy moraines, and beach and dune sand near the lake. Clayey till and wet muck show up in the low spots and hollows.

Sandy ground drains fast and holds little water, so the trouble comes from snowmelt and heavy rain collecting on the clay till and in those hollows. An under-built base shows it first. If you lay 21AA over soft muck without stripping it or filling it, the pad pumps and the surface ruts.

Freeze-thaw hits every winter and spring, and lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan adds to the snowmelt. Thawing roadbeds soften, so gravel drives rut there. The Michigan Residential Code sets frost depth at 42 inches, which is a footing depth set by the building official, not a gravel spec.

Bare sand also washes out on slopes and in ditches after heavy rain and snowmelt. Armor those spots with RipRap, and let Drain Rock handle the water before it reaches the base.
