Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use a compactable base like Road Base or 21AA limestone. A layer of clean 3/4 inch stone on top improves drainage and stability for heavy vehicles.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone (2B or 3/4 inch) with no fines works best for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, and ditch lining. It lets water pass freely without clogging.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of 3/4 inch crushed stone, then a thin bedding layer of limestone screenings or concrete sand for leveling and locking pavers.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone like Natural Pea Gravel or river rock adds texture, while black mulch retains moisture. Topsoil or garden soil improves planting beds and lawn areas.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 48326 covers a mix of older suburban lots and newer subdivisions. Many homes have established lawns, driveways, and drainage systems that need careful material selection.

Freeze-thaw cycles are common in Oakland County. Compactable materials with good drainage help prevent frost heave in driveways and patios. Clean stone is preferred for drainage around foundations to manage spring runoff.

Soils in the area range from clay-heavy to loamy. Clay soils drain slowly, making clean stone essential for French drains. Loamy areas allow more flexibility with topsoil and mulch for planting beds.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 48326 of Auburn Hills

American Rock Supply delivers directly to your property in ZIP 48326. We use dump trucks that can handle most residential driveways and tight suburban lots.

Long, shared, or uphill driveways may need extra clearance. Overhead branches, low wires, or soft ground after rain can limit truck access. A clear, level drop zone near the project area helps ensure a smooth delivery.

Single-load homeowner orders and larger contractor jobs are both served. We recommend providing a rough description of your driveway and drop location when scheduling.
