Materials for Mancelona Projects

Most orders here start with landscaping. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take decorative rock that holds its color and sheds water. Match the stone to the job, not the other way around.

• Large River Rock for dry creek beds, heavier borders and erosion work where water runs.
• River Rock for decorative beds, edging and dry creek beds that need a smaller stone.
• Pea Stone for walkways, play areas, dog runs and light drainage. Michigan suppliers list it as pea stone.
• RipRap for stream banks, culvert outlets and slope armoring against waves, ice and spring runoff.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings, holding moisture through the summer.

For driveways and pads, 21AA limestone is the standard Michigan base. Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel. For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs, even in slow-draining clay.

Ground and Conditions in Mancelona

Ground here is mostly sandy glacial outwash plains and sandy to loamy moraines, with swamps and wet lowlands and thin soils over limestone. Sinkholes show up in places in parts of the northeast. Sandy ground drains quickly, but an under-built base still fails once the spring thaw softens it.

Water problems center on spring snowmelt and heavy lake-effect snow in the snowbelts. Bare sand on slopes, in ditches and along stream banks washes out in heavy rain. High water, storms and ice work on the Lake Michigan and Lake Huron shorelines.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into fall, a shorter season than in southern Michigan. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, and the building official can require deeper footings where local conditions call for it. Frost laws on state highways and county roads can stay in place here after they lift farther south.
