Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Canby, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Canby, MN, and the working season here runs long. Once the thaw opens the ground, crews stay at it into late autumn.

Class 5 is the base course most drives and pads in this part of Yellow Medicine County start from. It is the Minnesota name for a compacted base, and it is what you want under a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor.

Materials for Canby Projects

Base and driveway surfacing carry the work here. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. It packs hard and holds a grade once it is worked in.

Over a compacted Class 5 base, Driveway Gravel finishes the surface. In Minnesota that surfacing class is Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite or as buff or red limestone depending on the quarry.

For a drive or pad that needs crushed rock with the fines left in to bind and compact, Crusher Run is the material. Minnesota yards more often sell it by class or by a minus size than by that name.

Washed stone is the other family worth knowing. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is the Minnesota meaning of clear rock.

It drains, so it suits drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

The same clean washed rock, sold as foundation rock or radon rock, sits under basement slabs and around footing drains. That includes the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

For finer work, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone and compact garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason Sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, takes lawns, sod beds and planting beds, usually bought screened or pulverized.

For decorative beds and borders, Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone for dry creek beds and rock mulch around foundations.

Ground and Conditions in Canby

Water is the driver on the Southern and western prairie till. Tight till and almost no fall mean ground drains slowly, and the thaw plus early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are at their worst.

Under the black prairie soil, the till is loamy to clayey and carries shale brought down from the Dakotas. That mix holds water instead of shedding it.

Heaving shows up worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. A base that stays wet through freeze-thaw will move, so drainage under and around a pad matters as much as the material on top.

Bare cropland and newly graded lots lose soil to sheet, rill and gully erosion after heavy summer storms. Riprap and shoreline filter rock.

Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April. Plan heavy deliveries around that window.
