Bulk Material Delivery in Arlington, MN

Need gravel and aggregate delivery in Arlington, MN? Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton.

Start with water. Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly across the Southern and western prairie till, so yard and drive water sits until it finds a way out.

Clean washed stone gives it that way out. Class 5 builds the base underneath.

Materials for Arlington Projects

Water is the problem on most sites here. Tight prairie till drains slowly, so a downspout, a footing drain or a low corner of a yard holds water instead of shedding it.

Washed stone carries that water away, and clear rock means washed with the fines taken out.

Drainage Rock is the usual 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells and footing drains. It stays open, so water moves through instead of pooling.

3/4 Clear Rock suits downspout runs, trench backfill and the gas-permeable layer under a basement slab. Foundation rock is the same material under a passive radon system.

3/8" Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding and fine drainage where the run is tight. Granite Fines, sold as screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and compacted garden paths.

Base comes after drainage. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course under driveways, parking pads and shed floors.

It keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts.

Where a drive only needs a fresh wearing surface, Driveway Gravel is Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines. It tightens up over Class 5.

Pea rock, mason sand and black dirt finish the yard work. Order by the ton or the yard, and size the load with the calculator on each product page.

Pick the date around the ground, not the calendar. Frozen ground will not take a load the way thawed ground does.

Ground and Conditions in Arlington

This part of the state works a long season by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

That timing matters for a delivery. Grade and base work run best once the ground has drained and firmed after the thaw.

Underneath, this is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale. It holds water, and it heaves where water cannot drain away before it freezes.

Minnesota Residential Code footing tables set frost depth at 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, a footing depth rather than a base depth.

Heavy summer storms also cut bare ground. Sheet, rill and gully erosion show up on graded lots and bare cropland.

Stone at the outlets and along slopes slows that cutting.
