Bulk Aggregates near Millington, MI, 48746

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use 21AA crushed stone or 22A gravel. Both materials compact well and handle the freeze-thaw cycle common in Tuscola County. A base layer of Road Base works when starting from soft ground.
• Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone (like 2-inch or 21AA without fines). Fines can clog drainage systems. Clean stone allows water to move freely around foundations or french drains.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of 21AA crushed stone, then add a 1-inch layer of masonry sand for leveling and setting pavers. This combination prevents settling and frost heave.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Use natural brown Natural Pea Gravel or black mulch for clean coverage. Screened topsoil improves planting areas. Mix in garden soil for raised beds or flower gardens.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 48746 in Millington includes a mix of older built-up lots, newer subdivisions, and large rural acreages. The terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling, with scattered low areas that hold water after storms.

Native soils in this part of Tuscola County tend to be heavy clay. Clay drains slowly, which means driveways and patios need good compaction and a strong base layer to stay stable during wet periods. In contrast, sandy pockets may require more careful grading.

Freeze-thaw cycles are common. Materials that hold water can heave and crack. Compactable aggregates like 21AA crushed stone and Road Base minimize this risk by allowing water to drain through the base.
