Ground conditions across Sanilac County
Start with the soil. Most of this county is flat former glacial lake bed: clay, silty clay and clay loam, crossed in places by sandy beach ridges, low dunes and sand channels. Most of the ground is poorly drained.
Spring snowmelt and heavy rain on flat, slow-draining clay means water stands in low spots. Much of the land relies on ditches and tile drains. Plan a drainage layer, not just a surface.
Streams and ditches on the flat lake plain rise fast after rain and snowmelt and scour their banks. High water, storms and ice erode the Great Lakes shoreline, so bank armoring earns its keep.
Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil, and roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth is 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code.
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads during the spring thaw.
Choosing the right material
Next door in St. Clair County, the ground zone is the same as Sanilac's: flat former glacial lake bed of clay and silty clay, poorly drained. Expect similar projects and similar drainage needs there.
Tuscola County spans two zones, the lake plain and the Southern Lower Peninsula moraines and till plains. Where it sits on the plain, the base choice looks like ours; on the moraine ground it shifts.
Lapeer County is moraines and till plains: loamy and clay loam till, sandy and gravelly moraines and outwash, and wet muck or peat in low spots. Sandier ground there drains faster, so base depth and drainage change.
