Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Avon, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Avon, MN, and the ground here sets the order. On the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, loam over till can hold water in low spots through the thaw.

That is why Class 5 is the base most of this work starts from, and why a pad that needs raising starts with fill before any base course goes down.

Materials for Avon Projects

Fill and sub-base do the heavy work on building pads and raised grade around Avon. Where the ground is soft or the lot needs lifting, that material goes down first.

Fill Dirt is the bulk material for raising grade and backfilling before a base course is placed.

Over that fill, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It works for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

For a driveway, you have a choice. Class 5 builds and holds a base, while Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base, and Class 2 is the tighter 3/4 inch crushed surfacing class.

For a patio, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work. They come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

For a drain, Drainage Rock fills French drains, drywells, footing and foundation runs and downspout lines. Clean washed rock lets water move where a fines-bearing base would hold it.

Where a slab or a radon system is going in, 3/4 Clear Rock is the washed stone for under-slab and gas-permeable layers.

Ground and Conditions in Avon

Across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, the ground is loam over till, with granite near the surface in places. Till holds water, and this part of the state is pocked with lakes and closed basins.

Low spots pond through the thaw, while the sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely. A pad built on the flat, wet ground needs fill under it before base.

Deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw work on that ground all winter. Heaving shows up worst on loam and clay loam over till, and on drives built thin over a wet subgrade.

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

Base, drive and paver work runs from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads in March and come off in late April or early May, so heavy deliveries to a soft site are easier later in the season.

Questions About Material in Avon

What is the best base under pavers in Avon?

Class 5 is the usual base course under a paver patio. Bed the pavers themselves in granite fines, which compact to a tight, level surface.

If the ground under the patio is soft loam or holds water, bring in fill dirt first so the base sits on something solid.
