Materials delivered in Macomb County
Match the material to the job. Driveways, patios and drains each pull a different stone. Here is what to order.
21AA Limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. Contractors specify it by that class designation. It packs hard and carries load, which is why it goes under driveways, parking pads, pole barn and shed bases, and patio bases.
22A Road Gravel is a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines. It suits unpaved drives, private roads and base work. Keep it away from drainage jobs.
Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted 21AA base. 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
Drain Rock runs French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, including in slow-draining clay ground. RipRap armors lakefront, stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes against waves, ice and spring runoff.
Ground conditions across Macomb County
Macomb County spans two ground zones, and each one changes how you build a base. In the lake plain around Warren, Sterling Heights, Macomb and St. Clair Shores, the ground is a flat former glacial lake bed of clay, silty clay and clay loam, crossed in places by sandy beach ridges and sand channels. Most of it drains poorly.
That clay holds water. Spring snowmelt and heavy rain stand in low spots, and much of the land leans on ditches and tile drains. Under-built drives rut and pump. Build the base thicker and add a drainage layer, and the drive holds.
Freeze-thaw hits every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in soaked soil, so roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.
Around Washington and Romeo, ground turns to a patchwork of glacial deposits: loamy and clay loam till, sandy and gravelly moraines and outwash, and wet muck or peat in kettle holes. Water drains fast through the sand and gravel but stands on clay till flats. Runoff scours sloping moraine ground and roadside ditches.
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw. Plan your pour and your delivery around that window.
Choosing the right material
The right material shifts with the ground under it. Your neighbors show how. St. Clair County sits on the same flat former lake bed of clay, silty clay and clay loam with sandy beach ridges, and most of it drains poorly. The ground is similar to yours, so drains and thick bases do the same work.
Wayne County shares that lake plain ground, also poorly drained. Same story: drainage stone first, then a compacted base. Oakland County spans both zones, part moraine till plains and part lake plain, so base depth changes block to block and the ground decides before the material does.
Match the job to the stone. For a driveway, start with 21AA limestone, then top with driveway gravel. For a patio, set 21AA limestone, bed the pavers in stone screenings or mason sand. For a drain, use drain rock or #57 stone. For a walkway, lay pea stone or walkway gravel.
