Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Cyrus, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cyrus, MN, with bulk loads tipped at your site in Pope County. Class 5 is the base material this market builds on: driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base.

The ground here sits on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, where loam over till meets outwash sand and gravel. That mix decides how a drive drains and how a base holds up.

Materials for Cyrus Projects

Water is the reason most of this work starts with washed stone. Around Cyrus, till holds water and low spots pond through the thaw, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs need clean stone with the fines taken out.

Drainage Rock is the usual 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding. Clear rock means washed, with the fines removed, which is what lets water move through it.

3/4 Clear Rock works for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill. It also acts as foundation rock, the clean washed layer under basement slabs and around footing drains.

For the base course, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base. It goes under driveways, parking pads and road base, and it compacts because the fines stay in.

It finishes over a compacted base and tightens up under traffic.

At the finer end, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work and compact paths, while Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a walkable surface that still compacts.

Delivery to Cyrus and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Plan for where that pile lands, because the truck does not spread or place material once it is tipped.

Delivery covers Cyrus and the rest of Pope County, including Glenwood, Starbuck, Lowry, Villard and Farwell. The same online ordering and the same bulk loads apply anywhere in that area.

Ground and Conditions in Cyrus

Base, drive and paver work 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 a delivery date early in the season is worth setting around that window.

Frost is deep here and freeze-thaw repeats through the winter. Heaving is worst on loam and clay loam over till and on drives built thin over a wet subgrade, which is why the base course matters more than the surface stone.

On the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, till holds water and the ground is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins. Low spots pond through the thaw while the sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely.

Erosion follows heavy summer rain as sheet and gully wash on tilled slopes, plus lakeshore wear from wind and wave. Riprap and shoreline filter rock.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Cyrus?

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course for a driveway here, and it compacts because the fines stay in. Class 2, sold as Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone, is the 3/4 inch minus surfacing class that finishes over a compacted base.

Local till holds water, so drainage matters alongside the stone you choose.
