Class 5 is the base course to start with for drives, pads and shed floors. Around the lakes here, sandy loam over gravel means the ground drains fast in one spot and holds water in the next.

Materials for Alexandria Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, and that work starts with soil and fill. Bring the grade up with Fill Dirt before any base course goes down.

It is bulk fill for raising grade and backfilling.

Finish lawns and beds with Top Soil, sold here as black dirt and usually bought screened or pulverized. For raised beds and planting areas, Garden Soil blends screened black dirt with compost.

Once the grade is set, cap it with Class 5. It is the standard Minnesota base course, and it goes under driveways, parking pads and garage floors.

For a tighter surface over a compacted base, use Driveway Gravel, the Class 2 crushed surfacing aggregate. Around foundations and under slabs, 3/4 Clear Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out.

Ground and Conditions in Alexandria

Start with where the water goes. Snowmelt moves more water here than any single rain, and across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country the outwash sand takes it fast while the moraine till between the lakes does not.

That split matters on a drive. Sandy ground sheds meltwater quickly, but a pocket of till holds it and softens what sits on top.

A compacted base course spread over ground that stays wet will not hold.

Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table in this part of the state. Lots near the water need clean washed stone for drainage, not a fines-bearing base.

Lakeshore erosion from wind, wave and boat wake is real on this side of the state, and spring runoff cuts banks as it rises. RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against ice and wave action.

Time the work around the season. 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.

Questions About Ordering in Alexandria

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Alexandria?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and every product page has a calculator to help you size the load.

Pick your material, set the quantity, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load at your address in Alexandria or anywhere in Douglas County.

What stone should I use for drainage in Alexandria?

Use clean washed stone with the fines taken out. Drainage Rock is the usual choice for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs, and it is normally a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here.

3/4 Clear Rock suits under-slab layers and foundation work. Class 5 keeps its fines and compacts, so it is not a drainage stone.
