Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Hewitt, MN

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Hewitt, MN, Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Todd County. Class 5 is the base course most drives here are built on, and it is the name a local yard will recognize first.

Hewitt sits in the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, where sandy ground over gravel shapes how a drive drains.

Materials for Hewitt Projects

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It packs into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and it takes the traffic that a loose stone will not.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines that tightens up under a paver or a finished drive. Minnesota yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry.

Driveway gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base. Crusher run, also called 1 inch minus, keeps the fines in so the material binds and compacts.

Washed stone is the other family. Class 5 holds its fines, while 3/4 Clear Rock has them washed out, which is why it works in drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

Granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

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

Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work. Drainage Rock runs about 1 1/2 inch clear and handles French drains, drywells and footing drains.

Sand and soil round out an order. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, mason sand goes into brick and block work, and black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, sold screened or pulverized for lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Hewitt

Water is the driver in this part of the state. Snowmelt moves more water than any other event of the year, and outwash sand takes it fast while the moraine till between the lakes does not.

Ground that sits close to the water table, or sandy ground over tight till, gives meltwater nowhere to go. That is where a clean, open drainage layer earns its place under a slab or along a footing drain.

Lakeshore and streambank work needs stone that holds against wind, wave and spring runoff.

Frost reaches five feet in this zone, the depth the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone I counties. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May. Plan a bulk drop around the thaw, when the ground can carry a loaded truck.

Delivery to Hewitt and the Surrounding Area
