Why Saginaw County Chooses Our Aggregates

Local Soil, Climate, and Geology — What to Consider
Saginaw County sits in a glacially influenced region with pockets of clay, loam, and river-deposited alluvium near the Saginaw River and smaller tributaries. These soils can retain moisture and expand in winter, causing frost heave in poorly prepared driveways and pads.
Regional Considerations
- Clay soils require good subbase and proper drainage — use compacting base materials
- Freeze-thaw cycles make durable aggregates and proper compaction essential
- Areas near the river and lowlands benefit from increased drainage aggregate like drain rock and #57 stone
