Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Merritt, MI

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Merritt, MI the easy way: online, by the ton or yard, dropped at your site. Michigan Rock Supply stocks 21AA limestone, the standard Michigan driveway base, plus sand, soil and decorative stone. Merritt sits on sandy glacial outwash, so ground here drains fast and soil work starts with what is already underfoot.

Materials for Merritt Projects

Start with soil. Sandy ground needs organic matter and structure before anything grows, and grading work needs fill before a base goes down. Then build up with base, stone and sand.

Screened Top Soil covers new lawns and bed prep over the sandy and clay glacial soils common here. Garden Soil feeds raised beds and planting areas. Fill Dirt raises low ground and grades a site before a 21AA base goes down.

For drives and pads, 21AA limestone is the local standard. 22A Road Gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads.

Washed stone handles water. Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Stone works for drainage and concrete aggregate.

Sand finishes the job. Mason Sand beds brick, block and paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Merritt

Water drives the work here. Sandy uplands drain quickly, so the trouble comes from spring snowmelt, heavy lake-effect snow in the snowbelts, and swamps and wet lowlands holding water after a thaw.

Route that water away from a structure before you surface anything. Drain rock in a French drain or downspout run moves it, and a washed stone layer keeps it from pooling under a slab.

Bare sand on slopes, in ditches and along stream banks washes out in heavy rain and snowmelt. Rip rap armors culvert outlets and slope faces against that.

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