Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Erskine, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Erskine, MN to your site, from Class 5 base to black dirt for the beds around a new build. Polk County sits on the flat lake plain, where the ground holds water and the season for moving dirt runs short.

Order by the ton or the yard, size the load with the calculator on each product page, and a dump truck tips it where you need it.

Materials for Erskine Projects

Grading and bed prep start in the soil, not the stone. If you are raising a low corner of the lot or backfilling around a foundation, Fill Dirt brings the grade up before any base course goes down.

Once the shape is right, Top Soil, which Minnesota yards sell as black dirt, takes the seed and sod. Ask for it screened or pulverized so it spreads and knits into the existing ground.

For raised beds and planting areas, Garden Soil mixes screened black dirt with compost and gives roots something loose to work into.

Base comes first on any drive or pad. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course, and it compacts into a firm, bound surface under a drive.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface with fines still in it, Class 2 is the Minnesota surfacing class, and yards sell it as Class 2 granite or limestone. Crusher Run covers the same ground under the minus-size name.

Washed stone handles everything that has to drain. Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, unlike Class 5, which keeps them.

Drainage Rock runs French drains, drywells and footing drains.

For slabs and footings, foundation rock, also called radon rock, forms the clean gas-permeable layer under a basement slab. Sand finishes the job: Mason Sand for brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative work runs from Natural Pea Gravel on walkways and play areas to Minnesota River Rock in beds and borders. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the dry stretch of summer.

Ground and Conditions in Erskine

This part of the state gets almost no fall, and the subgrade underneath is tight clay or peat. Meltwater and rain sit where they land instead of soaking away.

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, deep silt and clay that settled in still water. Lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source, so usable sand and gravel sit on the old beach ridges and river terraces.

That clay holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. It is also why anyone working a base, a drive or a paver job waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out.

Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends. Plan your material around that window rather than against it.

Water is the driver behind every drainage decision here. A clean washed stone like 3/4 clear rock moves water instead of holding it, and that is what you want under a slab, around a footing drain or at the bottom of a downspout run.

Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load. A dump truck then tips the material at your site.

What stone should I use for drainage in Erskine?

Use a washed stone with the fines taken out, because fines hold water. Clear rock, drain rock and the smaller washed sizes all move water rather than trap it.

Around a foundation, foundation rock, also called radon rock, is the clean layer that lets gas and water pass under a slab.
