Why choose our aggregates in Keweenaw County?
The local geology of Keweenaw County includes glacial deposits, shallow bedrock, and well-draining cobble near shorelines. Our aggregates are selected to match these conditions and to handle freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowfall.
- Durable stone that resists frost heave
- Materials that improve drainage on sloped lots
- Options for both decorative and structural uses
Materials by Project Type
Different projects need different aggregates. Below are recommendations tailored to Keweenaw County terrain and weather.
Driveways and Private Roads
For durable, low-maintenance driveways on wooded or lakefront lots we recommend layered construction using compactable base and a wearing course suited to snow plow traffic.
- Base layer: Road Base or Crusher Run
- Surface: Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone
- Drainage: Drain Rock for culverts and swales
Shoreline and Erosion Control
Lake Superior and inland bays create erosion pressures. Heavy, rounded rock and properly sized stone can slow runoff and protect shoreline property.
- Use River Rock for decorative and light erosion control areas
- Use larger #57 Stone or Crushed Concrete under riprap for heavier protection
Gardens, Paths, and Play Areas
Soils near the Keweenaw shoreline can be sandy and low in organics. We supply materials that support planting and play.
- Planting beds: Topsoil
- Paths: Decomposed Granite and Walkway Gravel
- Play areas: Playground Sand

Why local aggregates matter
Keweenaw County sees heavy snowfall, frozen ground, and a short construction season. Selecting the right aggregates reduces maintenance, prevents frost heave, and improves drainage. Our local sourcing and delivery minimize truck traffic and salt-related damage to vegetation.
Common Projects and Recommended Aggregates
Private road repairs and lane stabilization
Use layered construction with compactable Road Base and a wearing course of Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone. This combination improves load-bearing capacity and resists washouts from spring thaw.
French drains and footing drains
Install Drain Rock around perforated pipe to maintain long-term drainage and prevent fines from clogging the system.
Low-cost base and paving alternatives
Crushed Concrete and Crusher Run provide economical alternatives for road base and temporary access pads on seasonal properties.
