3/8 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Remus, MI

Water drives the order here. Sandy ground around Remus drains fast, so the trouble shows up as spring snowmelt and wet lowlands, not as everyday runoff. Michigan Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Remus, MI by the ton, from 21AA limestone for driveways to washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Materials for Remus Projects

Start with the washed stone. Water moves through it and leaves the fines behind, which is what a drain needs. Size the stone to the job, coarsest first.

For a drywell or a long downspout run, #4 crushed stone gives the open void space water needs. #57 stone and #67 stone work the same way at smaller sizes, and both are specified locally by number. Drain rock handles foundation drains and clay ground that holds water longer.

Then the base and surface layers. 21AA Limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. 22A Road Gravel is a different class, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads, and it is not for drainage work. Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel.

Finer material finishes the job. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patios. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints. Top Soil and Shredded Mulch cover the lawn and beds after the stone is in.

Delivery to Remus and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your delivery date at checkout. Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and size the load with the calculator if you are unsure. A dump truck then delivers to your site.

Remus sits in Mecosta County, and delivery covers the area, including Big Rapids, Morley, Mecosta, Barryton and Paris. Place the truck where the pile will sit, since a load of 21AA limestone or drain rock is not something you move twice.

Ground and Conditions in Remus

The working season runs from the spring thaw into fall, shorter than in southern Michigan. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so time your delivery to the work. Frost laws on state highways and county roads can stay in place here after they lift farther south, which affects when a truck can reach a site.

Ground here is mostly sandy glacial outwash plains and sandy to loamy moraines, with swamps and wet lowlands. Sandy uplands drain quickly, so water problems center on spring snowmelt and heavy lake-effect snow in the snowbelts. Bare sand on slopes, in ditches and along stream banks washes out in heavy rain and snowmelt.

That shapes the material choice. Put a drainage layer of washed stone under wet ground before you build, and keep bare sand covered. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, and the building official can require deeper footings where local conditions call for it.
