Crushed Stone, Driveway Mixes, and Road Materials
Northern Wisconsin driveways need a compactable base and a wearing layer that resists washout. Our range of crushed stone and specialized mixes helps combat freeze-thaw cycles and heavy seasonal runoff.
Best uses and project types
- Private and shared driveways — Driveway Gravel and Crusher Run for a solid base
- Rural roads and logging road repairs — Road Base and Crushed Concrete for heavy traffic
- Patios and compacted surfaces — 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and Decomposed Granite for finish surfaces
Construction tips for Iron County conditions
Start with a compacted subgrade, add a layer of Road Base or Crusher Run, then top with Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone. Proper drainage using #57 Stone or Drain Rock at edges reduces freeze heave.
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveways, Base material | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, Concrete aggregate | 1/2 inch to 1 inch | Excellent |
| Crusher Run | Compactable base, Paths | Mixed fines and stone | Fair |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, Play areas | 3/8 inch | Poor to Moderate |
| Decomposed Granite | Natural paths, patios | Fine aggregate | Moderate |
| Drain Rock | French drains, Footings | 3/4 inch - 1 1/2 inch | Excellent |
Sand, Soils, and Specialty Materials
Beyond aggregates, we supply sands and soils to finish projects across Iron County. These materials help with planting, play surfaces, and masonry work.
Materials and recommended uses
- Topsoil — Lawn repair, planting beds, and erosion-prone slopes
- Fill Dirt — Structural filling and regrading
- Mason Sand — Bedding for pavers and brickwork
- Washed Sand and Playground Sand — Specialized sands for jointing and play areas
Soil and geology considerations in Iron County
Iron County soils are commonly thin over bedrock with pockets of glacial till. Many properties have acidic, sandy loams near lakes and denser till inland. That means homeowners often need imported topsoil to establish lawns and structural fill for grading. Our topsoil blends are designed to improve establishment and minimize erosion on sloped lots.
Decorative Rock and Hardscape Aggregates
Decorative aggregates bring low-maintenance solutions to rocky, forested yards found in Iron County. Rounded stone and decomposed granite give a natural appearance that matches the lakeside aesthetic.
Decorative options
- River Rock — For shoreline edges and waterwise beds
- Pea Gravel — For patios and casual seating areas
- Decomposed Granite — Compactable natural paths
- Walkway Gravel — Stable surface for foot traffic and garden paths
Landscape benefits
- Low maintenance and durable against freeze-thaw cycles
- Permeable surfaces that support onsite drainage
- Visual continuity with surrounding forest and shoreline
Common Projects and Recommended Materials
Whether you are a property owner in Hurley or a contractor working near Mercer, here are typical projects and the aggregates we recommend.
Driveways and private roads

Local Conditions, Climate, and Soil Considerations
Iron County sits in northern Wisconsin with cold winters, significant snowfall, and multiple freeze-thaw cycles each year. Soils are often glacial in origin with rocky patches and thinner topsoil in upland areas. These conditions influence material selection and installation techniques.
Regional characteristics
- Cold climate with heavy snow and spring runoff
- Mixed soils: glacial till, sandy loams near lakes, and exposed bedrock in places
- Common drainage challenges on sloped lots and near shorelines
How aggregates help locally
Using the right aggregates prevents frost heave, improves drainage, and extends the life of driveways and roads. Aggregates with good angularity lock together for stability, while washed and clean rock options improve subsurface drainage and reduce fines that cause rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel in Iron County
A compacted base of Road Base or Crusher Run finished with 3/4 inch Crushed Stone or Driveway Gravel provides good drainage and resists winter damage.
Yes. We deliver to lakeshore properties and remote sites. Delivery plans account for narrow lanes, seasonal access, and local road weight limits.
For drains and footing backfill we recommend Drain Rock or #57 Stone. For surface runoff control, crushed concrete and properly graded Road Base help stabilize driveways and approaches.
A thin spread of screened Topsoil of about 1/2 to 1 inch over the area will improve root growth. For deeper regrading use multiple cubic yards — we can help calculate amounts based on square footage.
