Do you deliver to Anoka County?

Yes. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, stone, sand, soil and mulch across Anoka County, including Andover, Anoka, St. Francis, Circle Pines, Bethel and Cedar. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone has angular, broken faces from a quarry. Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, is round washed stone. Crushed stone like Class 5 or 3/4 inch clear rock binds and compacts or drains, depending on whether the fines are left in. Round Natural Pea Gravel does not lock together, so it suits walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work. Aggregate is sold by the ton or by the cubic yard, and each product page has a calculator to help you size the load. Use it with your own project measurements rather than guessing, then choose your quantity at checkout. The unit you pick does not change what arrives.

Anoka County, MN Aggregate and Rock Delivery

Planning a driveway, a parking pad, a paver patio or a drainage run in Anoka County, MN means picking the right base material first. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate to Andover, Anoka, St.

Francis, Circle Pines, Bethel, Cedar and the rest of the county.

Start with Class 5, the standard Minnesota base course.

If your ground is sandy, you will want to think about how water moves under whatever you build.

Ground Conditions Across Anoka County

Across the Twin Cities metro, water is the driver behind most ground problems. Rain, snowmelt and heavy storms all have to go somewhere, and where they go decides how a base behaves.

The Anoka sand plain takes water fast. Till ground drains slowly and holds it.

Both are present in this part of the state, so two sites a short drive apart can behave very differently.

Bluff and ravine erosion above the rivers, gully cutting on graded lots and streambank scour in creeks all follow heavy rain.

The working season here is the longest in the state, running from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, which affects when a heavy load can move.

Frost depth in this part of the state is 3 feet 6 inches, the figure the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone II counties. That is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.

Materials Delivered in Anoka County

Class 5 is the base course for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. It is a compacted, fines-bearing material.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in that same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Minnesota yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone, and it works as drive surfacing and paver base.

Granite fines, also called screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio work. The Crushed Stone comes from the St.

Cloud belt.

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out. The 3/4 inch clear rock drains, so it goes into drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

The same clean washed stone works under basement slabs and footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Drain rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, handles French drains, drywells, downspout runs and sewer bedding. Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, covers walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work.

On the soil side, black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it is usually bought screened or pulverized for lawns and planting beds. Fill dirt, or common borrow, raises grade and backfills before a Class 5 course goes down.

Choosing the Right Material

Sherburne County, Chisago County and Isanti County all sit on the same ground region as Anoka County: the east central sand plain and St. Croix moraine, with clean sand and gravel in the outwash and sandy loam over till on the ridges.

Because the ground is the same, the base and drainage reasoning carries across the county line. Sandy outwash takes water fast and till ground holds it, so the same choice between a fines-bearing base and a clean washed stone applies on either side.

Pick Class 5 where the surface needs to bind and compact. Pick clear rock or drain rock where water has to move through.

Riprap goes on slopes and shorelines that see wave and runoff energy.
