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

Start with the numbers before you call in a load. Figure the square footage, the depth you want, and the tons it takes, and gravel and aggregate delivery in Madison Heights, MI goes a lot smoother. Michigan Rock Supply runs bulk trucks on 21AA limestone, washed stone, sand and soil. Most ground here is flat former lake bed clay that holds water, so drainage stone matters as much as base stone.

Materials for Madison Heights Projects

Drainage is the job that gets skipped and then gets redone. On flat, poorly drained clay, water has nowhere to go, so a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run needs washed stone that stays open. We sort the washed sizes coarse to fine so you can match stone to the pipe and the soil.

For a driveway, 21AA limestone is the base most crews specify here. It packs hard because of the fines in the mix, and it carries a car or a loaded truck without pumping. Top it with Driveway Gravel if you want a fresher surface, or use Walkway Gravel on paths where you want a finer, more walkable finish.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Mason Sand goes into paver joints and block work, Washed Sand beds slabs, and Top Soil screens clean for new lawns and beds over this clay.

Ground and Conditions in Madison Heights

Plan the season before you plan the stone. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. During the thaw, frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads, so timing a delivery early beats waiting on a rutted drive.

Freeze-thaw every winter and spring is the other half of it. As frost comes out of the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil, so roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code. That is why we push depth over guesswork: more 21AA limestone under a drive, and a real drainage layer under anything that sits on clay.

Streams and ditches on the flat lake plain rise fast after rain and snowmelt and scour their banks. If your property touches one, RipRap armors the bank before the next high water.
