Bulk Gravel Delivery to Aldrich, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Aldrich, MN, with Class 5 as the base most drives and pads start from. In this part of the state, base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. That timing shapes when a load should land on your site.

Ground and Conditions in Aldrich

Aldrich sits in Wadena County, in North central lakes, moraine and outwash country. Outwash sand takes water fast, while the moraine till between the lakes does not.

Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table, and snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

A thin base over that ground shows the failure early. Water gets into the subgrade, the surface pumps, and ruts open along the wheel paths.

The fix is a thicker compacted course of the right material, not a thin skim over soft ground. A fines-bearing base binds and sheds water at the surface instead of letting it sit under the stone.

Deep frost every winter makes that worse where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table, and the water has nowhere to go as it freezes. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet (60 inches) for its Zone I counties.

Materials for Aldrich Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where material choice shows first. The bedding layer holds the pavers level and moves water away from the joints, so it has to be fine, clean and easy to screed.

Granite Fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, are the standard bedding for pavers, flagstone and patio work, and for compacted garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

Washed Sand, sold as concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work, paver joints, sandboxes and play areas.

Under the bedding, the base course does the structural work. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Where a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines is wanted for the surface, Driveway Gravel covers Class 2. It also tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base.

Crusher Run, or 1 inch minus, keeps the fines in so the material binds and compacts. Minnesota yards more often sell this by class or by a minus size than by the name crusher run.

Delivery to Aldrich and the Surrounding Area

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, whichever suits how you planned the work. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The load lands in one pile, so leave room for it where you want the material to sit.
