Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Alborn, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Alborn, MN to driveways, pads and drainage work. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

This corner of St. Louis County sits on thin, stony till over Precambrian bedrock, so rock sits at or close to the surface across much of the ground.

Materials for Alborn Projects

Washed stone carries a lot of the drainage work around Alborn. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone with the fines taken out, so water moves through instead of sitting in the trench.

Class 5 keeps its fines and binds under a compactor, which makes it the base course for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Order it on its Class 5 page.

Clear rock is washed stone with the fines removed. Use 3/4 Clear Rock for drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

Drainage rock runs coarser, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear stone. It goes into French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

Order Drainage Rock for those runs.

For a drive surface, Class 2 is a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold locally as Class 2 granite or limestone. It finishes over a compacted base as Driveway Gravel.

Smaller washed stone fills tighter spots. Use #89 Crushed Stone for paver joints and pipe bedding, and Granite Fines to bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone.

Ground and Conditions in Alborn

Across the Iron Range, North Shore and the Superior Upland, this is the shortest working season in the state. Frozen ground stops compaction from late autumn into April.

Spring load limits run into mid-May on North zone roads, so timing a delivery around the thaw matters as much as the material itself.

Water cannot soak into bedrock, so it runs off fast and gathers in the hollows and peat basins. That is why drainage stone and downspout runs do real work on a lot here.

Long, severe winters drive frost down, and shallow soil over ledge lifts slabs, posts and gravel drives every spring. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties.
