Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Bertha, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bertha, MN, by the ton. Class 5 is the base course this part of the state builds on, and it is what a drive, a parking pad or a shed base starts with here.

Bertha sits in Todd County, in North Central Minnesota. The ground around town is moraine and outwash country, so what you put down and how you drain it both matter.

Materials for Bertha Projects

Water is the job on a lot here. Washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs all move water away from a house, and each one wants a different size of clean rock.

Washed stone means the fines are taken out, so water runs through instead of sitting in it. In Minnesota that is what yards call clear rock, and it is the opposite of Class 5, which keeps its fines and binds.

Drain rock is the coarse one, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota. It goes in a French drain, a drywell or a footing drain, where the point is open space for water to move.

3/4 Clear Rock is the same idea one size down. It suits a drainage bed, trench backfill or a construction entrance, and it also acts as foundation rock under a slab.

For a downspout run or a tight bed, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the fine washed size. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, sold here as pea rock, is round rather than crushed, and it works for walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate.

Where a surface has to bind, Class 5 is the base and Driveway Gravel is the Class 2 surfacing that goes over it. Granite Fines bed pavers and flagstone.

Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, finishes lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Bertha

Plan the work around the season. Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May. If you are timing a delivery, that stretch is worth watching.

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, outwash sand takes water fast while the moraine till between the lakes does not. Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table, and snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

That is why drainage matters as much as the base here. A clean washed stone under a slab or around a footing drain gives water somewhere to go instead of holding it against the concrete.

Deep frost comes every winter, and it bites hardest where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table. In Minnesota, frost depth is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.
