Order by the ton or the yard, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Ground and Conditions in Beardsley

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the subgrade is loamy to clayey and slow to drain. Water sits in the low spots until it moves or evaporates, and the thaw is when yards and drives show it.

A thin base is where that shows first. The surface ruts, pumps and loses its shape because there is not enough material between the tires and the wet ground.

The fix is a thicker compacted base, not a different topping. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course for exactly this ground, and it binds and compacts into a surface that carries a truck.

Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, which is worth knowing when you plan a spring project.

Materials for Beardsley Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways around Beardsley. Granite fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a firm garden path.

They come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

For a walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is made for garden paths and walkways that need a finer, compacting surface. Granite Fines go under the same paths as bedding.

Under all of it, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface with fines. It also tops an existing drive over a compacted base.

For drainage and clean stone, 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out. It suits drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Questions About Ordering in Beardsley

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, open and reachable so the truck can back in and tip the load. The driver tips it in one pile and does not spread it, so pick a spot you can work from.

Keep vehicles, trailers and anything breakable out of the way, and make sure the ground will hold a loaded truck.

What is the best base under pavers in Beardsley?

Class 5 is the base course for paver work here, because the tight prairie till under it drains slowly and the base has to carry the load. Bed the pavers themselves in granite fines, which compact firm and hold a level surface.

Both are ordered by the ton or the yard.
