Bulk Gravel Delivery to Hendrum, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hendrum, MN for contractors building pads and homeowners redoing a drive or a garden path. Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from here.

The ground it goes on is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, deep silt and clay that holds water where it lands.

You can order online by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Ground and Conditions in Hendrum

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the subgrade is weak, frost susceptible and slow to drain. Water sits where it falls because there is almost no fall across the lake plain.

A thin base course shows that first. The material disappears into soft clay under a loaded truck, the surface ruts, and the edges break away through the spring thaw.

The fix is a compacted Class 5 course over ground that has been shaped and drained. Class 5 carries the fines that let it bind and hold together under traffic.

Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends. Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out.

Frost drives deep into clay that holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets five feet for its Zone I counties, which is a footing depth set by the building official.

Materials for Hendrum Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on a Hendrum lot: the garden path, the walkway to the door, the bedding under a patio. They are the materials that give you a surface you can walk on and a bed that holds pavers flat.

Granite Fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, are Crushed Stone from the St. Cloud belt.

They bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and they compact into a firm garden path.

Walkway Gravel is the finer, walkable surface for garden paths and walkways that need to tighten up underfoot. It finishes a path that already has a compacted base under it.

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

Class 5 is what you put down before anything else on a Hendrum drive or pad. For a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surfacing with fines, Driveway Gravel is the Class 2 material, sold as granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry.

Where water has to move instead of sit, Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock used in French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. Clear rock means washed with the fines taken out, which is the opposite of Class 5.

Questions from Hendrum Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the delivery spot so the truck can reach it and tip the load in one pile. Mark anything you do not want driven over, and keep vehicles and equipment out of the way.

The driver tips the material and does not spread or place it, so plan to move it yourself afterward.

What is the best base under pavers in Hendrum?

Class 5 is the standard base course here, compacted over ground that has been shaped to drain. Granite fines go on top of it as the bedding layer that holds the pavers flat and even.

On the lake plain clay, drainage matters as much as the material you choose.
