Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Currie, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Currie, MN. Order Class 5 for a drive or a pad, and order coarse stone where water moves fast.

Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly here. That is why slope, swale and bank work around Currie starts with big, open stone.

Materials for Currie Projects

Water is the driver on Currie ground. Coarse stone slows it, spreads it and holds a bank in place.

Coarse stone for slope, swale and bank protection

RipRap is the first choice for shoreline, streambank, culvert outlets and slope armouring.

Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative work, plus light shoreline and slope protection.

Railroad Ballast is heavy coarse stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. Crushed Stone from the St.

Cloud belt has been produced for ballast since the quarries opened.

Drainage Rock handles French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. In Minnesota that is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Mid sizes that build and surface

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, as against Class 5, which keeps them. Use it in drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

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

Fine material for beds and finishes

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

Cloud belt.

Pea Rock covers walkways, play areas and drainage. Minnesota yards also call it Natural Pea Gravel.

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

Mason Sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Black Dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, usually bought screened or pulverized. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the dry stretch of summer.

Ground and Conditions in Currie

The working season runs long here 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.

That window shapes when you take a load. Order while the ground is firm and the roads are open.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the ground is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. It sits under deep black prairie soil.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. A clean washed layer under a slab or footing drain gives that water somewhere to go.

Summer storms drive sheet, rill and gully erosion on bare cropland and freshly graded lots. Riprap and large river rock on a slope or a swale outlet slow that water and hold the bank.

Questions About Stone in Currie

What stone should I use for drainage in Currie?

Start with clean, washed stone. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota, suits French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock works in drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill, and Foundation Rock is the clean washed layer under basement slabs and footing drains. Fines-bearing material like Class 5 does not drain, so keep it out of a drainage bed.

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one pile on your site, so mark the area you want it dropped and keep the route in open.
