For gravel and aggregate delivery in Ely, MN, the ground under your project matters as much as the load on the truck. Much of this part of the state is thin, stony till over Precambrian bedrock, with rock at or close to the surface.

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5 and other bulk materials here, ordered online by the ton or the yard. Where rock sits shallow, the base course has to carry the load, and that starts with the right material.

Materials for Ely Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is the work that shapes a lot of orders here, and it calls for coarse, open stone rather than a fines-bearing base. Water cannot soak into bedrock, so it runs off fast and gathers in hollows and low ground.

The right stone slows it down and holds the ground in place.

Riprap is the heavy option for lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and slope armouring against ice, wave action and spring runoff.

RipRap is sized for the job rather than for looks.

For lighter bank work and dry creek beds, Large River Rock is round washed stone that stacks into heavier decorative and slope work. Minnesota River Rock covers borders, rock mulch and smaller dry beds.

Under all of it, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It goes down under drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base.

Delivery to Ely and the Surrounding Area

Ordering is done online. You choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and you pick your delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load in one pile on your site.

Delivery covers Ely and the surrounding area, and the same service reaches the rest of St. Louis County.

That includes Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia, Chisholm and Eveleth.

Sizing a load for a base course or a drainage bed is done with the calculator on each product page. Have your site ready and the pile will land where the truck can reach it.

Ground and Conditions in Ely

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

Time your delivery around that window rather than against it.

Long, severe winters work on shallow ground too. Frost reaches rock in places, and soil over ledge lifts slabs, posts and gravel drives every spring.

A footing depth of 5 feet is what the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone I counties.

Snowmelt is the heaviest flow of the year. Water runs off fast over rock and gathers in the low spots, so drainage stone and slope protection earn their place on a northeast Minnesota site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Ely, MN

What stone should I use for drainage in Ely?

For French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, and downspout runs, use clean washed stone such as Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota. Clear rock is washed with the fines taken out, so water moves through it. 3/4 Clear Rock works for tighter drainage beds and trench backfill.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear path to the spot where the pile should land, and enough room for a dump truck to reach it and tip the load. The truck tips the material in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you plan to move it. Have your quantity chosen and your delivery date set at checkout.

What access does the truck need at my Ely address?

A clear, level spot the truck can reach and tip in, with nothing parked in the way and no low branches or wires over the approach. If the drop is behind a gate, tell us the width when you order. Soft ground after rain is the usual reason a delivery in Ely has to be moved, so point out anywhere the truck should not drive.
