Bulk Material Delivery in Grey Eagle, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Grey Eagle, MN to your site by the ton. Start with Class 5 for drives, pads and road base.

Around the lakes here, water moves fast off the outwash sand and stalls where moraine till sits under it. Coarse stone handles the banks.

Minnesota Rock Supply serves Todd County and the rest of Minnesota.

Materials for Grey Eagle Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse stone. Water comes off the lakes and the low ground fast, and fine material will not hold a bank through spring runoff.

Ask for it by class when you size a bank.

Railroad ballast carries heavy drainage and stands up to hard standing. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, runs under footing drains and downspouts.

For a bank that only needs cover, Large River Rock is a round washed stone that works as light shoreline protection. Minnesota River Rock, sold here as river rock, suits decorative beds and borders.

Move finer as the job tightens up. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. Class 2, the surfacing class in the same spec, is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate that finishes a drive and beds pavers.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what Minnesota yards mean by clear rock. It goes in drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Granite Fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt and bed pavers, flagstone and patios.

Finish with soil and sand. Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Garden Soil fills raised beds. Mason Sand and Washed Sand handle brick work, paver joints, sandboxes and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Whether the site is a driveway, a bank or a garden bed, the truck reaches it.

Ground and Conditions in Grey Eagle

Time the delivery to the working season. Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so a load tipped onto frozen ground waits. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May.

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, the ground changes fast over short distances. Outwash sand takes water fast, but the moraine till between the lakes does not.

Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table. Snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

That is why a drainage layer earns its place. Clean washed stone like Drainage Rock or 3/4 Clear Rock lets water pass instead of trapping it.

Coarse stone on a bank does the same job sideways.

Deep frost every winter makes it worse where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table and the water has nowhere to go as it freezes. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties.

Follow the depth the local building official sets for a footing.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Wind, wave and boat wake work on lakeshore, and the upper Mississippi and the Crow Wing cut banks during the spring rise.

Riprap and Large River Rock hold those edges.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Grey Eagle

What stone should I use for drainage in Grey Eagle?

Match the stone to the water. Drainage Rock at 1 1/2 inch clear handles French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock and 3/8" Crushed Stone work for tighter drainage and pipe bedding. For heavy flow, Railroad Ballast and #4 Crushed Stone carry it.

Riprap armours a bank or culvert outlet.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, open spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one place, so leave room to move material from there with your own equipment.

Keep the path to that spot firm enough for a loaded truck. Have your material and quantity settled before you order, and choose your delivery date at checkout.
