Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Clinton, MN

If you are planning a patio, a paver walk, or a new driveway pad, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Clinton, MN. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it to your site.

The base under flatwork is where the job is won. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course for drives and pads, and it is the right starting point for most of the work we send out here.

Ground and Conditions in Clinton

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the ground is tight. Gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till sits under deep black prairie soil, loamy to clayey, and it holds water instead of letting it go.

That slow drainage is what a thin base shows you. Water sits in the subgrade, freezes, and lifts, and the pavers above move with it.

The fix is a base that drains and a subgrade that does not pond. A clean, open stone under the bedding layer gives water somewhere to go.

Spring is the hard season. The thaw and early summer storms are when yards and drives are worst, and that is when a soft subgrade punishes a shallow base.

This part of the state also works a long season, from the thaw into late autumn, so a job planned for spring can move once the ground is ready.

Materials for Clinton Projects

Bedding is the layer your pavers actually sit on, and it decides whether the surface stays flat. Granite fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, are the standard bedding for pavers, flagstone, and patio work.

They come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt, and they compact into a tight, level bed.

Granite Fines also work for garden paths that need a firm, walkable surface.

Under the bedding you need a compacted base.

It carries the load and ties the whole build together. Class 5 goes under drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface with fines, Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec. Driveway Gravel is what you top an existing drive with, or finish over a compacted base.

For drainage around a patio edge or a downspout run, use a washed stone with the fines taken out. Drainage Rock is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, and it suits French drains, drywells, and footing drains.

Sand matters too. Mason Sand fills paver joints and beds block work, and Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers.

Delivery to Clinton 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 your site.

Sizing the load is the part worth getting right. Each product page has a calculator, and it is the easiest way to settle on a quantity before you order.

Clinton sits in Big Stone County, and we deliver across the county, including Ortonville, Graceville, Beardsley, Odessa, and Correll.

Bulk material arrives as a tipped pile, so it helps to have the spot clear before the truck gets there. From there it is your job to move and place it.

Questions About Gravel in Clinton

What gravel is best for a driveway in Clinton?

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course and the right choice for a new drive or a rebuild. It compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer over the local till.
