Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Foxhome, MN

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Foxhome, MN, the first question is usually which stone the job calls for. Minnesota Rock Supply sells Class 5, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk, ordered online and tipped at your site.

Foxhome sits in Wilkin County, on flat ground where water tends to sit after a spring melt. That shapes what you put under a drive, a pad or a drain.

Materials for Foxhome Projects

Washed stone is the clean, open-graded rock with the fines taken out. In Minnesota it is sold as clear rock, and it is what you order when the job is moving water rather than holding a surface.

Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock used for French drains, drywells and footing drains. It goes around a perforated pipe or fills a pit so water can collect and move.

For a downspout run or a trench that needs a smaller stone, 3/4 Clear Rock works well. It is also the clean washed rock used under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system.

At the fine end, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding and tight drainage. Granite Fines, sold as screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and compacted garden paths.

Where a drive or pad needs to bind and compact instead of drain, Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. Above it, Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate sold as Class 2 granite or limestone.

Soil and sand round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, Mason Sand goes into brick and block work, and black dirt, which is what Minnesota calls topsoil, builds lawns and planting beds.

Ground and Conditions in Foxhome

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz. Deep silt and clay settled out in still water, and that clay is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source.

Almost no fall crosses this part of the state, and a tight clay subgrade sits underneath. Meltwater and rain stay where they land, so a drainage layer matters as much as the surface material.

Base, drive and paver work 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.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, with frost driven deep into clay that holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet (60 inches) for its Zone I counties, which is a footing depth rather than a base depth.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Foxhome?
