Bulk Material Delivery in New Boston, MI

Michigan Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Boston, MI, and the smartest first move is sizing the load. Use the calculator to turn your length and width into a quantity by the ton or yard before you pick a material. Around here that usually starts with 21AA limestone, the crushed limestone with fines this market knows by name.

New Boston sits on flat former lake bed ground, clay and silty clay that drains slowly. That is why washed stone and drainage work come up on almost every job.

Materials for New Boston Projects

Drainage is the first question on most sites in New Boston, so start with the washed stone that moves water. Washed stone has the fines rinsed out, so water runs through the voids instead of sitting in the pile. That is what makes a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run actually work.

We run the material list from coarsest to finest, so you can match the stone to the job.

For driveways and pads, 21AA limestone is the standard Michigan base. It packs hard under a plate or a roller. 22A Road Gravel is a different class, a mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads where you want a hard-packing surface.

Top the drive with Driveway Gravel, or use Walkway Gravel and pea stone on paths and play areas. For beds, banks and shoreline work, rip rap and river rock hold ground against runoff and ice.

Delivery to New Boston and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or yard, then pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site and places it where you want it dropped, so keep the gate and the approach clear.

We deliver in New Boston and across Wayne County, including Detroit, Dearborn, Canton, Livonia and Westland. If you are staging a job, order the drainage stone and the base material together and set both dates at checkout.

Ground and Conditions in New Boston

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Time your delivery around that window. Spring frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw, so an early order is easier to schedule.

The ground here is flat glacial lake bed clay, poorly drained, and water stands in low spots after snowmelt and heavy rain. Most land relies on ditches and tile drains. That is why a washed drainage layer under a base matters more here than in sandier ground, and why a rutted drive needs drainage before new stone.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil, so roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code. Streams and ditches on the flat lake plain rise fast after rain and scour their banks, so bank and culvert work calls for rip rap sized to the flow.
