Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Good Thunder, MN, with online ordering and a dump truck to your site. Class 5 is the base course most drives and pads here start from.

Good Thunder sits in Blue Earth County on the Southern and western prairie till, where the ground runs tight and clayey under deep black prairie soil. That shapes what you order and how deep it goes.

Materials for Good Thunder Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover do a lot of the finish work on properties around here. Beds, borders and dry creek beds take round stone well, and it holds up through freeze and thaw.

Decorative rock and beds

Minnesota River Rock is the round washed stone for decorative beds, borders and rock mulch around foundations. For heavier dry creek beds and light slope protection, Large River Rock gives you the bigger round stone.

Granite Fines, sold as screenings or granite chips, bed pavers and flagstone and make a compacted garden path. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

Driveways and bases

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

Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base.

Drainage and walks

Drainage Rock is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota, used for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which suits drainage beds and trench backfill.

Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface that compacts underfoot. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, works for walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate.

Ground and Conditions in Good Thunder

The ground across the Southern and western prairie till is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. Water moves through it slowly.

Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly, so a base that is under-built shows it fast. Spring thaw and early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are worst.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on the tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. A clean, open-graded stone layer under a slab or along a footing drain gives that water somewhere to go.

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, which is worth knowing when you plan a bulk delivery.
