Bulk Gravel Delivery to Delano, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Delano, MN to driveways, paths and building pads. Class 5 is the base course most Minnesota yards sell under that name, and it is the material that carries a drive here.

Base, drive and paver work in this part of the state 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 the ground firms up before a truck rolls.

Ground and Conditions in Delano

Delano sits in Wright County, on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt. The ground is till over granite, with loam over till on the farmed ground between the lakes, and that till holds water.

A drive built thin over a wet subgrade is where trouble shows first. Deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw work on loam and clay loam over till, and the heaving is worst where the base is shallow.

The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets a frost depth of 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties. That is a footing figure set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.

Low spots pond through the thaw, while the sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely. On tilled slopes, heavy summer rain moves soil as sheet and gully erosion.

The fix is a compacted base of the right material at a workable depth, with a clean drainage layer where water stands. Get the base right and the surface holds through the freeze.

Materials for Delano Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Granite fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio work, and they compact into garden paths.

Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

Granite Fines are the bedding layer under a paver or a flagstone. Walkway Gravel gives a garden path a finer, walkable surface that knits together under foot.

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

It keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts.

Class 5 is the base to set first. Driveway Gravel then finishes over a compacted base or tops an existing drive.

Where a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines is wanted. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out. 3/4 Clear Rock serves drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill, and it also works as foundation rock under basement slabs.
