Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Cloquet, MN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Cloquet, MN the easy way: online, by the ton or the yard, with a dump truck tipping it on your site. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5, washed stone, sand, black dirt and decorative rock across Carlton County.

Ground here is thin, stony till over bedrock, so a drive needs a compacted base that binds. Class 5 is that base.

Materials for Cloquet Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most northeast Minnesota work starts. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. The fines stay in so the material binds and compacts instead of shifting loose under a truck tire.

For the wearing surface on top, Class 2 is Minnesota's surfacing class in Spec 3138. It is a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry.

Where you want a cleaner, washed material, clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying the fines have been taken out. Use it for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Foundation rock is the same clean washed stone used under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Fines and sand finish the job. Granite fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios, and compact into garden paths.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Black dirt, which is what Minnesota calls topsoil, is what lawns and planting beds want.

Ground and Conditions in Cloquet

Water cannot soak into rock. Across the Iron Range, North Shore and the Superior Upland, runoff gathers fast in the hollows and peat basins, and snowmelt is the heaviest flow of the year.

That shapes what goes under a drive. A fines-bearing base like Class 5 holds and compacts, but it will not move water.

Where runoff sits, a clean washed layer underneath carries it away instead.

The working season is the shortest in the state. Frozen ground stops compaction from late autumn into April, and spring load limits run into mid-May on North zone roads.

Frost lifts shallow soil over ledge and moves posts, slabs and gravel drives every spring. Footing depths in this part of Minnesota come from the building official, not from a guess.
