Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Yale, MI

Plan gravel and aggregate delivery in Yale, MI around the working season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and frost laws limit heavy trucks on many roads during the thaw.

Michigan Rock Supply stocks 21AA limestone, the standard Michigan driveway base, along with washed stone, sand and soil. Order online and we deliver by the ton.

Materials for Yale Projects

Most jobs here start with a base. 21AA limestone is a crushed limestone with fines. It packs hard under driveways, parking pads, and pole barn and shed bases.

22A road gravel is a different class. It is a hard-packing mix of stone, sand and fines for unpaved drives and private roads, and it is not for drainage work. Once a base is compacted, you can top it with driveway gravel for the surface you drive on.

For walkways and garden paths, walkway gravel gives you a finer surface underfoot. Where water has to move, drain rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs, including in clay ground that drains slowly.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand sets brick and block, and screened topsoil builds new lawns over the clay and sandy ground here. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Yale

Yale sits on a 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 is poorly drained.

Spring snowmelt and heavy rain have nowhere to go on that flat clay, so water stands in low spots. Much of the land relies on ditches and tile drains to move it. Build your base with that in mind.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter and spring. As frost leaves the ground, water is trapped in the soaked soil, so roadbeds, gravel drives and thin bases soften and rut. Frost depth runs 42 inches under the Michigan Residential Code, which is why a shallow base fails here.

Streams and ditches on the flat lake plain rise fast after rain and snowmelt and scour their banks. Riprap armors culvert outlets, stream banks and slopes against that flow, waves and ice.

Delivery to Yale and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. Tell us where the pile should land and what the truck can reach. Bulk delivery is a dump, so plan the drop before the truck arrives.

Clear a level spot close to the work, with room for the truck to pull in and out. If the ground is soft from rain, pick a firm spot or the truck may not get to your first choice. Have the base area marked so the driver knows where the material goes.

We deliver across St. Clair County, including Port Huron, Fort Gratiot, Marysville, St. Clair and Algonac. Yale jobs are on our regular routes.
