Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bayport, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Bayport, MN, from Class 5 base to black dirt and everything between. The metro sits on a mix of ground, so the material you order should match what is under it.

You order online by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Materials for Bayport Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, and that work starts with soil and fill. Fill dirt, sold as common borrow, raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down.

Black dirt is the Minnesota name for topsoil, and it is what lawns, sod beds and planting beds are built on.

Garden soil, often sold as a garden mix, fills raised beds and planting areas with screened black dirt and compost. Order these screened or pulverized when the surface has to be worked and planted.

Once grade is set, the base and surfacing materials take over. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Driveway gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base, and Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate in that same spec. Crusher Run keeps the fines in so the material binds and compacts.

Washed stone, sand and decorative rock round out an order. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills sandboxes, while Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil and Minnesota River Rock cover the finished end of a yard.

Ground and Conditions in Bayport

Across the Twin Cities metro, water moves in two very different ways. Sandy ground north of the rivers takes it fast, while till through the western and southern suburbs drains slowly.

Hard surfaces across the built-up core push runoff somewhere, and the river terraces and bluff faces carry it down quickly.

Practically, that means a graded lot needs a drainage layer that actually passes water. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, goes into French drains, footing drains and drywells.

3/4 Clear Rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, against Class 5, which keeps them.

Erosion follows the same water. Bluff and ravine faces above the rivers, gullies cut into graded lots, and streambank scour after heavy rain all call for stone that holds.

RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes. The working season runs from the spring thaw into late autumn, which is the longest in the state.

Spring load limits go on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and drives, walks and slabs heave where a clay loam subgrade holds water under a thin base. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 42 inches for its Zone II counties.

That is a footing depth set by the building official, not a base depth.
