Materials for Stephenson Projects

Most work around Stephenson starts with dirt, not stone. Bare lots and raised pads need fill before anything else goes down. Get the grade right first, then build on it.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

• Fill Dirt for bulk fill, grading and raising low ground before a base goes down.
• Top Soil, sold here as screened topsoil, for new lawns and bed prep over sandy or clay glacial ground.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.

Base and Driveway Material

21AA limestone is the standard Michigan driveway base. Use it under drives, parking pads, and pole barn or shed bases. Top a compacted 21AA base with Driveway Gravel, or build unpaved drives and private roads on 22A Road Gravel, a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines. 22A is its own class, not a substitute for 21AA.

Sand and Decorative Stone

Set pavers and flagstone on Mason Sand, and level slabs on Washed Sand. For paths and beds, Pea Stone walks well and drains, while River Rock covers borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Stephenson

Water drives every decision here. Spring snowmelt collects on flat, swampy lowlands, and heavy lake-effect snow piles up on the Lake Superior side. When the thaw comes, that water has to go somewhere.

Sandy lake plains and glacial drift leave large wetlands and peat in places, with clay flats and thin soils over limestone and dolomite bedrock in others. Peat and clay hold water. Base on top of saturated ground softens and shifts.

So build drainage into the plan. Use Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and 3/4 inch crushed stone for drainage beds and construction entrances. High water, storms and ice also erode the Great Lakes shoreline, while snowmelt runoff scours stream banks and ditches. Arm those slopes with RipRap before the next thaw moves more ground.

The working season is shorter than in the Lower Peninsula. It runs from a late spring thaw into fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws limit heavy trucks on state highways and many county roads through the thaw, so plan deliveries around it.

Delivery to Stephenson and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. Pick your spot before the truck gets there: firm ground, a clear path in, and no wires or branches overhead. Loose or soft ground is the usual problem.
