If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a pole barn base in Martin, Michigan Rock Supply has the material for it.

Around here that ground is often sandy, and sand moves when water runs across it.

Materials for Martin Projects

A driveway is the job most buyers bring us, and it is built from the bottom up. Fill goes down first on low ground, then a compacted base, then a surface course. Get the base right and the drive holds through spring.

• 21AA Limestone, also called 21AA or 21AA crushed limestone, is the standard Michigan driveway base for drives, parking pads and shed bases.
• 22A Road Gravel, also called 22A or 22A gravel, is a hard-packing blend of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives, private roads and base work. It is a different class than 21AA, and it is not the mix for drainage.
• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted 21AA base with a cleaner, more uniform stone.
• Fill Dirt raises low ground and grades a site before any base goes down.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, or 3/4 inch stone, handles drive surfacing, drainage beds and construction entrances.

Ground and Conditions in Martin

Water decides how a gravel job performs here, so start with where it goes. Most of this ground is sandy: outwash plains, sandy moraines and beach sand near the Lake Michigan shore. Sand drains fast and holds little water, which is good news for a base.

The trouble is the low spots and hollows, where clayey till and wet muck sit under the surface. Snowmelt and heavy rain collect there and stay. A drive or pad built over that soft ground ruts and pumps no matter how much stone you put on top.

Bare sand also washes out on slopes and in ditches after a heavy rain or a fast thaw. On a sloped drive, plan for a drainage layer and a surface that sheds water instead of trapping it.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the thaw, which is worth knowing when you set your delivery date. Freeze-thaw every winter softens thawing roadbeds and wet spots, so an existing gravel drive can rut there. The Michigan Residential Code sets frost depth at 42 inches for footings, and that is a footing depth set by the building official.

Delivery to Martin and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for the truck to pull in and out and no wires or low branches overhead. If the ground is soft from thaw or rain, pick a firm spot or the truck will leave ruts.
