Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Troy, MI

Michigan Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Troy, MI to your driveway, beds and job site. Troy sits on the Southern Lower Peninsula moraines and till plains, a patchwork of clay loam till, sandy moraine and wet low spots. That mix decides how deep your base needs to be, and it starts with 21AA limestone.

On clay till flats, a thin base pumps and ruts within a season. On the sandy moraines, drainage is fast and a compacted base holds up with less material. Either way, the grade under the stone matters as much as the stone.

Materials for Troy Projects

Most Troy yards want ground cover first. Decorative rock, beds and dry creek beds solve drainage and bare soil at the same time, and the right stone size keeps a bed looking finished for years.

For a dry creek bed or a heavy border, Large River Rock locks together and holds against spring runoff. Round, smooth River Rock works for lighter decorative beds and edging.

Pea Stone is the choice for walkways, play areas and dog runs, though it moves underfoot on a slope. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in planting beds and tree rings through the summer.

Where a drive, patio or drain needs structural stone, the same truck can carry it. Use this table to match a material to the job.

Ground and Conditions in Troy

Start with the soil, because it sets the base depth. Clay loam till on the flat ground drains slowly, so a driveway base needs to be thicker and crowned to shed water. Sandy moraine ground drains fast and carries a thinner base, but it still needs compaction.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain move quickly through sand and gravel, then stand on the clay till flats and in the low depressions where many sites rely on tile or ditches. Runoff from those storms scours sloping moraine ground, roadside ditches and stream banks, so plan an outlet before you spread stone.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, soaked soil loses strength, and gravel drives and thin bases rut and heave. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, which is why a deep, well-drained base pays off here.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Frost laws also limit heavy trucks on many county roads during the thaw, so timing matters.

Delivery to Troy and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the cubic yard, whichever you find easier to figure. A quick measure of length, width and depth gives you the volume, and the depth you choose is what drives the total.

Bulk delivery drops the load where you want it: beside the garage, at the end of the drive, or straight onto the pad. Tell us what the truck needs to clear and we can place it well. We also deliver to Southfield, Waterford, Novi, West Bloomfield and Pontiac, all in Oakland County.

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area in feet, then decide the depth. Multiply length by width by depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. A driveway base usually runs deeper than a decorative bed, and a dry creek bed needs enough stone to hide the liner. Order the full amount at once so the base compacts evenly.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Troy?

Yes. Order by the ton or by the cubic yard and Michigan Rock Supply delivers it to your Troy site. Tonnage suits stone and gravel, where weight is the practical measure, while soil and mulch often get ordered by volume. Either way, you choose the quantity and the drop point when you check out.
