Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Cambridge, MN

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Cambridge, MN, the first question is usually what to put under the wet spots. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk Class 5, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton, delivered across Isanti County.

Cambridge sits on the East central sand plain and St. Croix moraine, where clean sand and gravel in the outwash drain fast and low ground stays wet.

That split decides what you order.

Materials for Cambridge Projects

Water is the job here. Downspout runs, French drains and drywells all need stone that is washed clean, with the fines taken out so water moves through instead of sitting in the voids.

In Minnesota that means clear rock, not Class 5. Class 5 keeps its fines and binds, which is what you want under a drive but not around a drain.

Above the drain stone, Class 5 is the base course most Minnesota yards sell by that name. It compacts and binds for a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface over that base, ask for Class 2, the surfacing class in the same spec. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or as buff or red limestone.

Around the house, granite fines bed pavers and flagstone, and Natural Pea Gravel or pea rock suits walkways and play areas. For shoreline work, riprap armours banks against ice and spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Cambridge

Plan around the working season. This part of the state runs longer than the north but stays frost bound through winter, and spring load limits go up on Central zone roads from March into late April or May.

On the sand plain, rain soaks in almost as fast as it falls and the water table sits close beneath, so low ground and lake margins stay wet while the ridges dry out. Tight red till on the moraine sheds water instead of taking it.

Bare sand on a fresh grade blows and washes readily, so exposed lots want cover before the next storm. Sand also drains and refreezes quickly, which means drives and walks move with each thaw cycle rather than once in spring.

That is why a washed stone drainage layer matters more here than a thicker base. Let the water out and the base stays put.
