Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both units work, and each product page has a calculator. Pick the unit you are used to, then set the quantity you need before you check out. The calculator is there so you do not have to convert anything yourself.

Which stone is best for drainage in Grant County?

Clean washed stone is what drainage calls for, because the fines are taken out and water moves through it. Drainage Rock is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells and footing drains. 3/4 Clear Rock works for trench backfill and under-slab drainage. A fines-bearing material like Class 5 is a base, not a drainage layer.

What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable for a dump truck. The truck tips the load in one pile, so the ground under it should be firm enough to hold the weight. Order online, pick your delivery date at checkout, and the load arrives on that date.

Ground conditions across Grant County

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.

A thin base over that till shows the failure first: the surface pumps, ruts and loses its shape after a wet spring. The fix is more base depth and a drainage layer, not a different surface stone.

Snowmelt moves the most water of the year, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Deep frost is worst where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table.

Choosing the right material

Pope County sits on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, with granite at or near the surface. That is a different ground from the outwash sand plains here, and it changes what a base course is asked to do.

Stevens County is Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale, under deep black prairie soil. Clayey ground holds water, so drainage stone matters more there than it does on sand.

Wilkin County is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, deep silt and clay with sandy beach ridges. Lake sediment is weak and frost susceptible, so usable sand and gravel sit on the ridges and terraces.
