GRAVEL, ROCK, AND SAND.
Gravel roads and driveways near Laporte are commonly built on Class 5 gravel, one of four products Storlie keeps in regional pit supply along with Class 3 gravel, screened sand, and sewer rock. Class 3 is the coarse subbase that firms up the soft, sandy stretches this area is known for before the finish gravel goes down. Screened sand fits bedding and backfill work, where the fines it keeps help it pack in tight. Cabins and rural homes around Garfield Lake on their own septic systems are regular customers for sewer rock, also called drain rock. Pit run sand and washed sand round out the line for jobs that need bulk fill on one end and a cleaner, finished product on the other.
Rip rap is available as a supplied material for shoreline and erosion-control applications. Storlie does not represent rip-rap placement, project design, or permitting as part of that material delivery.
