Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Clearwater, MN

If your bank is washing out or your swale keeps cutting, you need coarse stone, not a fines-heavy base. Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Clearwater, MN, from RipRap for slope and bank protection down to Class 5 for drives and pads.

Clearwater sits in Wright County on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, where till holds water and low spots pond through the thaw. That shapes which stone you order and where it goes.

Materials for Clearwater Projects

Start with the big rock when water is moving against a slope. Riprap is the coarse stone for lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and slope armouring against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Large river rock, sold here as large round rock, suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative work, and it can carry light shoreline and slope protection. Large River Rock lays into a bed without the sharp edges of crushed stone.

For a French drain, a drywell or a footing drain, Drainage Rock is the clear stone that lets water move. In Minnesota that is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Under a slab or around a footing drain, 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out. It also acts as the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Delivery to Clearwater and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Delivery covers Clearwater and the rest of Wright County, including St.

Michael, Buffalo, Monticello, Albertville and Delano.

Have the pile spot clear before the truck arrives. If you are building a bank or swale, order the coarse stone first and the finer material after, so each load lands where it belongs.

Ground and Conditions in Clearwater

Base, drive and paver work across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt runs from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads in March and come off in late April or early May, so time your delivery around them.

Till holds water and the ground here is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins. Low spots pond through the thaw while sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely, so a wet pocket may need drainage stone before anything goes on top.

Deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw work on any drive built thin over a wet subgrade, with heaving worst on loam and clay loam over till. Sheet and gully erosion also cuts tilled slopes after heavy summer rain, and lakeshore wear from wind and wave keeps working at exposed banks.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Clearwater

What stone should I use for drainage in Clearwater?

Use clear stone with the fines washed out. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, suits French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

For under-slab work and around footing drains, 3/4 Clear Rock is the washed stone. Fines-bearing material like Class 5 binds and compacts, so it does not drain the same way.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with nothing overhead and room for a dump truck to tip its load in one pile. Order your quantity by the ton or the yard and choose a delivery date at checkout.

The driver tips the load and leaves; the material is not placed or spread.
