Class 5 is the base course this market builds on, and it is the material a Bovey drive, pad or road base starts from. Thin, stony ground over bedrock is common across this part of the state, so the base you place carries the load.

Materials for Bovey Projects

Start with base and driveway surfacing. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Order it on the Class 5 page.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone, and it finishes a drive or beds pavers.

See Driveway Gravel.

Driveway gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base. Crusher run, sold here by class or by a minus size, is crushed rock with the fines left in so it binds and compacts.

Both are on the Crusher Run page.

Washed stone carries the drainage work. Clear rock has the fines taken out, which is what separates it from Class 5.

Use it in drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill, and as foundation rock under basement slabs and around footing drains. See 3/4 Clear Rock.

Drain rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, runs French drains, drywells, footing drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding. Riprap armours lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Both are on the Drainage Rock and RipRap pages.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Black dirt, which is what Minnesota calls topsoil, builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Granite fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios and compact into garden paths.

Ground and Conditions in Bovey

Water drives the material choice here. Across the Iron Range, North Shore and the Superior Upland, water cannot soak into rock, so it runs off fast and gathers in the hollows and peat basins.

Snowmelt is the heaviest flow of the year.

That runoff has to go somewhere. A clean, open stone like clear rock or drain rock gives it a path, while a fines-bearing base like Class 5 binds and compacts where you want a firm surface.

Ground in this part of the state is thin, stony till over Precambrian bedrock, with rock at or close to the surface across much of the northeast. Expect shallow soil over ledge in places, and plan the base accordingly.

The working season is short. Frozen ground stops compaction from late autumn into April, and spring load limits run into mid-May on North zone roads.

Time a base and a drive around that window.

Frost reaches rock in places, and shallow soil over ledge lifts slabs, posts and gravel drives every spring. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, and footing depth is the building official's call.
