3/8 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Lansing, MI

Where does the water go after it leaves your downspout? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Lansing, MI, the answer starts with washed stone. Michigan Rock Supply stocks 21AA limestone and the drainage stone that moves water away from a foundation, a driveway and a low spot.

Lansing sits on glacial ground, so a yard can drain fast on one block and hold water two streets over. The stone you order should match the job in front of you, not a guess.

Materials for Lansing Projects

Drainage is the first thing to solve on most Ingham County lots. Spring snowmelt and heavy rain soak through sand and gravel, but they stand on clay till flats and in low spots. Once you know the water path, the rest of the material list falls into place. Here is what to order by size, coarsest to finest.

Big stone for heavy water

RipRap armors a slope, a culvert outlet or a stream bank against waves, ice and spring runoff. #4 Crushed Stone handles trench bottoms, heavy drainage and construction entrances where the load is constant.

Washed stone for French drains and downspout runs

#57 Stone is the workhorse for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Drain Rock does the same job in slow-draining clay ground, where water needs a clear path before it can percolate. #67 Stone gives you the same idea at a slightly smaller size for tighter trenches.

3/4 inch and 3/8 inch crushed stone

3/4 inch crushed stone covers drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances. 3/8 inch crushed stone is the finer washed stone for pipe bedding, tight drainage and topping over a compacted base.

Fine stone for bedding and joints

Stone Screenings set pavers, flagstone and patio bedding, and they top a compacted base cleanly. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone work into paver joints and tight bedding.

Base, sand and soil

21AA Limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. 22A Road Gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, Mason Sand sets brick and block, and Top Soil and Garden Soil finish lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Lansing

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

Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, the soaked soil loses strength, and gravel drives and thin bases rut and heave. Frost depth under the Michigan Residential Code is 42 inches, which tells you how deep footings go and why drainage stone belongs under a drive.

Runoff from heavy rain and snowmelt also scours sloping moraine ground, roadside ditches and stream banks. RipRap and coarse stone hold those edges.
