We haul crushed stone, gravel, fill, base material, and more directly to residential and commercial job sites.
If your project needs a reliable material supply backed by equipment that can place and grade what we deliver, you’re in the right place. This page covers what we haul, who we serve, and how to get a quote.
What Is Aggregate Hauling and Why Does It Matter for Your Project?
Aggregate hauling is the transport of crushed stone, gravel, sand, fill dirt, and similar granular materials from a source — typically a quarry or recycling facility — to a job site. It sounds straightforward. In practice, the right material, delivered in the right quantity, to the right location on your property, makes or breaks the structural performance of whatever you’re building on top of it.
Order the wrong stone size for a driveway base and you’ll deal with rutting after the first hard rain. Dump a full load in the wrong spot and you’ve created a grading problem that costs more to fix than the material itself. That’s the difference between a dedicated hauling contractor and simply calling a quarry to drop off stone wherever the truck driver finds room.
Aggregate is the foundation of almost every earthwork project: driveways, building pads, parking lots, drainage structures, utility trenches, and retaining walls all depend on properly specified, properly placed base material. According to the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, aggregate is one of the most consumed construction materials in the United States by volume. Getting it right from the start protects your investment for decades.
Types of Aggregate We Haul
Different materials do different jobs. Here’s what we haul and where each one fits:
- Crushed Limestone: A go-to base material for driveways, parking lots, and building pads. It compacts firmly, sheds water, and holds up under load.
- Crushed Concrete: Recycled concrete broken down into angular pieces. Cost-effective for road base, fill applications, and temporary access roads on construction sites.
- Bank-Run Gravel: Unprocessed gravel dug directly from a pit. Used for general fill and subbase work where precise gradation isn’t critical.
- Washed Stone (#57, #8, #4): Clean, sized stone used in drainage applications, pipe bedding, concrete mixes, and decorative surfaces. The number refers to the gradation — #57 is roughly three-quarter-inch, #8 is smaller, #4 is larger.
- Road Base / Recycled Asphalt Millings: Ground-up asphalt from demolished pavement. Millings compact well and bind together with heat, making them popular for rural driveways and access areas.
- Sand: Used for pipe bedding, masonry work, playground areas, and as a leveling layer under concrete slabs or pavers.
- Fill Dirt: Unscreened soil used to raise grade, fill voids, and build up low areas before topsoil or base material goes down.
- Riprap: Large, angular stone used to armor slopes, shorelines, drainage channels, and swales against erosion.

Residential Projects That Require Aggregate Hauling
Homeowners in southeast Wisconsin call us for aggregate hauling across a wide range of property improvement projects.
- Driveways: A properly built gravel driveway needs 6 to 8 inches of compacted base, which means multiple tons of material per project. We deliver crushed limestone or road base and can grade and compact it on-site. If your existing driveway is failing, read about gravel driveway grading, crowns, and rebase work in southeast Wisconsin.
- Shed Pads and Garage Slabs: Both require compacted gravel beneath the concrete or gravel surface. Skipping this step leads to settling and cracking within a few years. We supply and place the base before your slab contractor shows up.
- Drainage Swales: A properly shaped swale lined with washed stone or riprap moves water away from structures without eroding. We haul the stone and can grade the channel to correct pitch.
- Yard Fill and Low Spot Correction: Fill dirt and topsoil hauled in to raise low areas that collect standing water after rain.
- Pond Construction: New pond excavations need the spoils hauled away and, in many cases, aggregate brought in for berms, spillways, and access areas around the water’s edge.
Example: A Racine County homeowner needed a 200-foot gravel driveway rebuilt from the ground up. We hauled in 40 tons of crushed limestone base, graded it with a crown to shed water, and compacted it in two lifts. The driveway has held for three seasons without rutting.
Commercial and Industrial Applications
Commercial property owners and general contractors in Racine and Kenosha counties rely on us for larger-scale aggregate needs. Volume, scheduling, and material consistency matter more at this scale, and we’re set up to handle all three.
- Parking Lot Base Rebuilds: When an asphalt parking lot fails, the problem is almost always the base, not the surface. We haul and place new compacted aggregate base before the paving crew arrives. See how we approach parking lot tear-out and base rebuild projects in Racine and Kenosha.
- Building Pad Preparation: New commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities need a stable, level pad that meets engineering specs. We haul in the base material, spread it to grade, and compact it in lifts. Our site grading work for building pads in Kenosha runs alongside aggregate delivery as a single-crew operation.
- Site Grading Fill: Large grading projects often require significant fill volume to reach finished grade. We coordinate fill delivery with active grading operations to keep equipment moving and avoid downtime.
- Utility Trench Backfill: After pipe installation, trenches need to be backfilled with clean, compactable material — typically washed stone or bank-run gravel depending on spec. We deliver to the trench line and can assist with placement.
Example: A 3-acre commercial site in Sturtevant needed 800 tons of road base hauled in and spread for a new warehouse pad. We coordinated four loads per day over a two-week window to match the grading contractor’s compaction schedule.
For broader commercial site work, see our page on commercial site prep in Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant.
How the Hauling Process Works: From Order to Placement
Here’s what working with us actually looks like from first call to finished delivery.
- Site Assessment: We ask about your project type, dimensions, and current site conditions. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we flag it before scheduling, not after a truck gets stuck. If you’re dealing with a soft subgrade that won’t support a load, our article on soft driveway base and undercut work in southeast Wisconsin explains what that process looks like.
- Material Selection: Based on your application, we recommend the right aggregate. We won’t sell you #57 washed stone for a parking lot base when road base is the correct call.
- Load Sizing: We calculate approximate tonnage based on your dimensions and depth. This gives you a realistic cost figure before we schedule anything.
- Scheduling: We coordinate delivery around your project timeline. Lead times vary by season and current workload. Call us early if your project has a firm start date.
- Delivery: Our trucks deliver to the site. We discuss where you need the material dropped and whether we’re placing it in stages or all at once.
- Optional Spreading and Compaction: We’re not just a truck-and-dump operation. If you need the material spread to grade and compacted, we can do that with our equipment on-site.
Coordination matters. When aggregate delivery is tied to active grading or excavation work, keeping both crews on the same schedule saves real money.
Why Hire a Dedicated Aggregate Hauling Contractor Instead of a Material Supplier Alone?
You can call a quarry, place an order, and have a truck drop stone at the end of your driveway. That’s the transaction. What you don’t get is someone who knows whether that stone is the right gradation for your application, or where to put it so a grader can work with it efficiently.
Here’s what a dedicated contractor adds:
- Material Expertise: We’ve placed aggregate on hundreds of projects across southeast Wisconsin. We know what holds up under Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles, what the local quarries stock, and what substitutions work when a specific product is on backorder.
- Equipment to Place and Grade: A dump truck gets material to your site. Our equipment gets it where it actually needs to go, spread to the right depth, and compacted to spec.
- Coordination with Other Scope: If we’re already on-site doing grading or excavation, adding aggregate hauling into the same mobilization saves you a separate scheduling headache and a second contractor invoice.
- Accountability: When a supplier drops stone in the wrong spot or delivers the wrong product, the conversation gets complicated. We’re responsible for both the material and what happens to it after it leaves the truck.
Example: A Kenosha contractor called us after a stone yard delivered #4 washed stone for a parking lot base. Wrong product for the application. We hauled it off, replaced it with properly graded road base, and had the project back on track within 48 hours.
For projects involving grading before construction, see whether you need grading before building a house or garage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of aggregate can you haul to my site?
We haul crushed limestone, crushed concrete, bank-run gravel, washed stone (#57, #8, and #4), road base, recycled asphalt millings, sand, fill dirt, and riprap. If you’re not sure which material fits your application, we’ll help you figure it out before scheduling delivery.
How much aggregate do I need for my driveway or building pad?
A standard gravel driveway base calls for 6 to 8 inches of compacted material. For a 10-foot-wide, 100-foot-long driveway at 6 inches of depth, you’re looking at roughly 15 to 20 tons depending on the material and compaction. Building pads vary widely based on size and depth required by your engineer or local code. Give us your dimensions and we’ll work up an estimate.
Do you handle both delivery and spreading or grading of aggregate?
Yes. We’re not limited to dropping a load at the property line. We can spread material to a specified depth, grade it to drain correctly, and compact it in lifts. If you need a finished base ready for a slab contractor or paving crew, we can get it there.
What is the minimum load size you will haul?
Minimum load sizes depend on current scheduling and your location. Smaller residential quantities may be combined with nearby deliveries to keep costs practical. Call us with your project details and we’ll give you a straight answer on whether the load size works.
How far in advance do I need to schedule aggregate hauling in southeast Wisconsin?
Lead times vary by season. Spring and early summer are our busiest periods, and scheduling a week or two ahead is smart during those months. Fall and winter projects often move faster. If you have a firm project start date, contact us as early as possible to lock in your spot.
Can you haul aggregate to a site with limited access or soft ground?
Tight access and soft subgrade are both workable, but they affect how we approach delivery and placement. Soft ground may require an undercut and replacement of unstable material before aggregate can be placed effectively. We assess site conditions before scheduling so we’re not trying to solve access problems on delivery day.
Aggregate hauling is foundational work. Get the material wrong, place it in the wrong location, or skip proper compaction, and every layer built on top of it is compromised. RLP Diversified brings the material knowledge, the equipment, and the coordination that turns a truckload of stone into a finished, stable base for your project.
