Walkway Gravel Delivery for Hayward, MN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Hayward, MN from Minnesota Rock Supply. Class 5 is the base course this part of Freeborn County builds on.

Water is the reason. Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly across the Southern and western prairie till, so the thaw and early summer storms are when yards and drives are worst.

Materials for Hayward Projects

Start with the decorative work. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover around a foundation all take round washed stone, and Minnesota River Rock is the stone for it.

Large River Rock carries the heavier pieces. Use it in dry creek beds and on light shoreline and slope work where the stone has to sit still.

For paths and walkways, Granite Fines bed pavers and flagstone and compact into a firm garden path. Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface for the same job.

Natural Pea Gravel, sold here as pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work. It is round stone, so it moves underfoot and does not lock together.

Then the working materials. Class 5 builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

It is the standard Minnesota base course.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or as buff or red limestone.

Under a slab, foundation rock is the clean washed layer, including the gas-permeable bed beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Ground and Conditions in Hayward

The ground here is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. Deep black prairie soil sits over it.

That till holds water. A base built thin on it pumps and shifts once the thaw starts, so the base course has to carry the load rather than the soil under it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Heavy summer storms cut sheet, rill and gully erosion into bare cropland and freshly graded lots, and bare slopes lose material fast.

Frost heave is worst on the tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties.

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.
