Delivery to Clarks Grove and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at the site.

Clarks Grove sits in Freeborn County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area. We also run loads to Albert Lea, Alden, Glenville, Hartland and Hollandale.

Bulk material arrives loose and unbagged, so the pile needs somewhere a truck can reach. Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives.

That is the whole of it: you order, the truck tips, and the material is yours to move.

Materials for Clarks Grove Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover around foundations all want round washed stone rather than crushed rock.

Minnesota River Rock is the standard round stone for beds and borders. It also works as rock mulch along a foundation, where bare soil would otherwise wash.

Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative work. It gives a bed a coarser edge than the smaller round stone can.

For a finer finish, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and play areas. Pea rock, as yards here call it, is rounded and does not lock together, so keep it off drives.

Under all of that, Class 5 is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

For a tighter surface course, Driveway Gravel is the 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. In Minnesota this is the Class 2 surfacing material, sold as granite or limestone depending on the quarry.

Ground and Conditions in Clarks Grove

This part of the state sits on gray, calcareous till under deep black prairie soil. The ground is loamy to clayey and carries shale, and it does not drain quickly.

Tight till and almost no fall mean water sits where it lands. Most farmed ground here runs on tile, and closed basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates.

The thaw and early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are at their worst. Water that cannot get away before it freezes is what heaves a base out of shape.

That is why a drive or pad needs a compacted Class 5 course over the subgrade rather than a thin layer of decorative stone. The base carries the load; the stone on top is the finish.

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, frost depth runs about 3 feet 6 inches, the figure the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone II counties. It is a footing depth set by the building official, not a gravel depth.
