Delivery to Fosston and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in Fosston.

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers across Polk County, including East Grand Forks, Crookston, McIntosh, Fertile and Erskine. Give the site access some thought before the truck arrives.

A full load needs room to turn and a firm spot to tip on. Soft ground after a wet stretch can stop a truck short of where you want the pile.

Materials for Fosston Projects

Raising grade and building pads is where a lot of work here starts, and that means fill and sub-base before surface material. Fill Dirt brings a low spot up to grade or backfills against a foundation.

Once grade is set, Class 5 goes down as the base course.

For a driveway surface, Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base. Crusher Run is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a drive or pad.

Around a building, 3/4 Clear Rock is washed rock with the fines taken out. It goes under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system.

For drainage runs, Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock used in French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. RipRap armours a shoreline, streambank, culvert outlet or slope against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Finishing materials round out a site. Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, covers lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work, and compact garden paths.

Ground and Conditions in Fosston

This part of the state sits in North central lakes, moraine and outwash country. Outwash sand takes water fast, but the moraine till between the lakes does not, and lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table.

That mix is what catches an under-built base. Sand drains, till holds, and snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

A pad that starts on soft ground keeps moving after the surface is on.

Get the fill and sub-base right and the material above it stays put. The working season runs from the spring thaw into late autumn, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May. Plan a delivery around them if the site sits on a posted road.
