Materials for Omer Projects

Most jobs here start with a base. 21AA limestone is a crushed limestone with fines. It packs hard under a driveway, a parking pad, or a pole barn floor. 21AA Limestone is the material to plan around.

22A road gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads. It is not for drainage work. 22A Road Gravel suits a lane that sees steady traffic.

Once the base is compacted, the surface goes on top. Driveway Gravel refreshes an existing drive, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone and #57 Stone both work in drainage beds and French drains. Drain Rock is the pick for slow-draining clay, where water needs somewhere to go.

Sand and soil round out a project. Mason Sand beds brick, block and paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over the clay and sand left after grading.

Ground and Conditions in Omer

Omer sits on flat former glacial lake bed. The ground is clay, silty clay and clay loam, crossed in places by sandy beach ridges and sand channels. Most of it drains poorly.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain have nowhere to go on that ground. Water stands in low spots, and much of the land leans on ditches and tile drains to move it. A driveway built without a drainage layer will hold that water in the base.

Streams and ditches on the lake plain rise fast after a storm and scour their banks. That is why culvert outlets and slope edges often want riprap or drain rock instead of soil.

Freeze-thaw comes 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. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.

Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many roads during the spring thaw. Time a bulk drop around that window so the load arrives when the ground can take it.

Delivery to Omer and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped at the site. Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with a firm patch for the truck to stand on. Soft ground in spring is the usual holdup.
