Road Repair & Municipal Projects
Municipal crews and contractors in Baraga County rely on heavy-duty aggregates like road base, crusher run, and crushed concrete for rebuilding sections affected by spring thaw. These materials compact well and support repeated plowing operations.
- Best for long driveways and township roads: road base and crusher run
- Top dressing and aesthetic surfaces: #57 stone and 3/4 inch crushed stone

Drainage & Erosion Control
Baraga County's proximity to Lake Superior and its heavy snow loads mean proper drainage is a local priority. Aggregates that promote quick water movement help prevent freeze damage and erosion.
Drainage Products
We supply drain rock, crushed concrete, and #57 stone for French drains, culverts, and shoreline stabilization. These materials resist clogging and support long-term drainage performance.
Shoreline and Riparian Areas
Properties along Keweenaw Bay and Lake Superior often need rock to protect shorelines from wave action and ice scour. Rounded river rock and angular stone can be used depending on the project goals and environmental considerations.
- Stormwater trenches: drain rock and #57 stone
- Shoreline armoring: river rock and large angular stone
- Perimeter drainage around foundations: clean drain rock
Sand, Soil & Planting Materials
Healthy plantings and stable paver beds start with the right soils and sand. Our topsoil and sand products are selected for planting success in Baraga County's cooler growing season.
Soils and Topdressing
We deliver screened topsoil for lawn repair and planting beds and supply fill dirt for grading and structural fills. These materials help manage drainage and provide a stable base for planting in glacial till and sandy loam areas.
Sand Varieties
For masonry and paver projects, choose mason sand or washed sand. For playgrounds, we offer certified playground sand that meets safety expectations.
- Topsoil: planting beds, lawn repair

Rounded river rock and pea gravel are popular for beds, patios, and walkways. Decomposed granite creates a natural compacted surface for paths that fits the rustic look of the Upper Peninsula.
Walkways and Patios
For stable walking surfaces, try walkway gravel or decomposed granite. These materials lock together while allowing drainage and are low maintenance under Baraga County weather.

Choosing Aggregates for Baraga County Climate and Soil
Baraga County sits along Keweenaw Bay and Lake Superior, with long winters, abundant snow, and a short growing season. The county's soils include glacial till, sandy loams near the shoreline, and organic soils in lowland areas. Choosing the right aggregates reduces frost heave, improves drainage, and lowers maintenance needs.
Local Soil Considerations
In upland areas you will often encounter glacial till and rocky subsoil that benefit from well-graded base materials like crusher run or road base. Along lakeshores, sandy loam and finer sediments require thicker drainage layers and stable armoring stone.
Climate and Material Performance
Freeze-thaw cycles make permeability and compaction important. Use clean drain rock and properly compacted base aggregates to reduce frost heave. For decorative areas, decomposed granite and pea gravel provide stability while allowing runoff to move through.
