Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Memphis, MI

If you are building a driveway in Memphis, MI, gravel and aggregate delivery starts with the base. Michigan Rock Supply delivers 21AA limestone.

Most ground around here is flat former lake bed clay that holds water, so the base you put down matters as much as the surface. Order online and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Memphis Projects

Base and driveway work leads everything in this market. 21AA limestone packs hard under a plate or a roller and carries a drive, a parking pad, or a pole barn floor. 22A road gravel is a different class, a mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads, and it is not a drainage material.

For the surface layer, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish. Where water has to move, #57 Stone and Drain Rock handle French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil round out the order. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints, and screened topsoil preps a lawn over clay. Pea stone, river rock and shredded mulch cover the decorative side.

Ground and Conditions in Memphis

Memphis sits on the flat lake plain, a former glacial lake bed of clay, silty clay and clay loam, crossed in places by sandy beach ridges and sand channels. Most of the ground is poorly drained, so rain and spring snowmelt have nowhere to go fast.

Water stands in low spots, and much of the land leans on ditches and tile drains. That is why a driveway here needs a base that sheds water rather than trapping it, and why a drainage layer belongs under the surface stone.

Freeze-thaw runs every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in soaked soil, and roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. The frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction. Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw, so plan the haul around the season.
