Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: A compactable base material like #57 crushed limestone works best. A proper sub-base layer helps prevent rutting and frost heave over time.
• Drainage: Use Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel around foundations and in French drains. These materials have no fines, which keeps water moving and prevents clogging.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compactable base such as crusher run or Road Base. Top with a thin layer of sand or stone dust before setting pavers or flagstone.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone, shredded hardwood mulch, or screened topsoil all work well. For planting beds, topsoil provides nutrients; mulch retains moisture and controls weeds.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Eastport sits in a rural part of Antrim County with a mix of lakefront properties and inland lots. Sandy soils drain quickly in most areas, but some pockets hold clay that stays wet longer.

Freeze-thaw cycles are common from late fall through early spring. Driveways and base layers benefit from compactable stone that resists shifting when the ground freezes and thaws.

Many homes have long gravel driveways or narrow access lanes. Choosing angular crushed stone over rounded materials can improve stability and reduce maintenance in these conditions.

Plan a clear drop location with enough room for the truck to turn around. Single-load homeowner orders are common, and the team can help identify the best spot for the material.
