Bulk Aggregates near Ann Arbor, MI, 48106

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run or a compactable base stone works best for Ann Arbor driveways. It binds well under traffic and supports the surface layer on older lots with existing gravel.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone (No. 57 or 2B) allows water to move freely. Use it around foundation drains, behind retaining walls, or in French drain systems on tight urban lots.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of limestone screenings or crusher run. Then top with a setting bed of concrete sand or fine screenings before placing pavers.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Natural Pea Gravel or small decorative stone dresses up planting areas. For lawn repair or garden beds, topsoil or garden soil provides nutrients and structure.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 48106 covers the older, built-up central parts of Ann Arbor. Lots are often narrow with established homes, limited side-yard access, and short driveways.

Clay-heavy soil is common in this area, which can hold moisture and expand during freeze-thaw cycles. Using clean drainage stone around foundations helps manage water. Compactable base materials with fines are preferable for driveways to resist shifting on the clay subgrade.

Many properties have overhead tree branches and tight turnaround space. Smaller loads and drop placement near the street are often more practical than long truck runs into backyards.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 48106 of Ann Arbor

American Rock Supply is delivery-only for ZIP 48106. Our dump trucks can serve much of this area, but urban streets and limited off-street parking require planning.

Long rural driveways are rare here, but narrow driveways, low-hanging branches, and soft ground after rain can affect access. We can drop material on a tarp or plywood in the driveway, on the street shoulder, or at a location you designate.

For tight lots, a smaller single-axle truck may be used. Let us know your site conditions when you order so we can schedule the right equipment and drop location.
