Fill and Base Material Delivered in Argyle, MN

If you are raising a building pad or lifting a low spot, gravel and aggregate delivery in Argyle, MN starts with the right fill and sub-base. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Marshall County.

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, and it is what you place over fill to carry a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor. The ground here decides how much of that work you have to do.

Delivery to Argyle and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck tips your material on site in one pile. From there it is your job to move and place it where the work is.

Along with Argyle, delivery covers Warren, Stephen, Newfolden, Oslo and Grygla. The whole of Marshall County is in range, so a pad on the edge of town is no different from one inside it.

Materials for Argyle Projects

Raising grade and building pads come first here, because the ground under a pad is what the pad rests on. Fill dirt, sold elsewhere as common borrow, brings a low site up to grade before anything else goes down.

Once grade is set, Class 5 goes on as the base course.

For a drive surface, Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate, and it finishes over a compacted base. Crusher Run is crushed rock with the fines left in, for base and drives that need to bind.

Drainage is the other half of a pad that stays put. Drainage Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and 3/4 Clear Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out for drainage beds and trench backfill.

Ground and Conditions in Argyle

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz. Deep silt and clay settled out in still water, and the lake clay runs thick along the northwestern border.

Lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source. That matters to a pad: silt and clay under a base hold water and move when it freezes, so an under-built base shows up as a heaving drive.

Almost no fall crosses this part of the state, and a tight clay or peat subgrade sits underneath. Meltwater and rain stay where they land, so drainage stone under and around a pad does real work.

Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out. Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, with frost driven deep into clay that holds water. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets five feet for its Zone I counties, and that is a footing depth set by the building official, not a gravel depth.

Questions About Material in Argyle

What is the best base under pavers in Argyle?

Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate for paver base, and it goes over a compacted Class 5 course. Granite fines, sold as screenings, bed the pavers themselves.

On this ground, the base under that has to shed water, because clay subgrade holds it.

Do you supply contractors working in Argyle?

Yes. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, soil and mulch by the ton or by the yard, delivered to job sites in Argyle and across Marshall County.
