Class 5 is the base course most Minnesota drives and pads start from.

Ground Conditions Across Hubbard County

This is moraine and outwash country. Sandy loam over gravel rings the lakes, and broad outwash sand plains spread between the drumlin fields.

Peat and muck sit in the low ground.

A thin base over that mix shows up fast. Sand drains, till does not, and the mucky pockets hold water until it has nowhere to go.

The fix starts with enough base and a clean drainage layer under it.

Outwash sand takes water quickly, but the moraine till between the lakes does not, and lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table. Snowmelt moves the most water of the year, so spring is when a weak base announces itself.

Lakeshore erosion is the other local driver. Wind, wave and boat wake work on shoreline, and the upper Mississippi and the Crow Wing cut their banks during the spring rise.

Riprap and large rock arm the slopes that face that water.

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, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Materials Delivered in Hubbard County

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, also sold as Cl 5 or Class 5 gravel. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Order it from the Class 5 page.

Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone, and it beds pavers and finishes a drive.

See Driveway Gravel for drive surfacing and topping an existing drive.

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, as against Class 5, which keeps them. 3/4 Clear Rock handles drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill, and doubles as foundation rock under slabs and around footing drains.

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone. They come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt, and they compact well on garden paths.

Drainage Rock is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here. It runs French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

RipRap armours shoreline, streambank and culvert outlets against ice, wave and runoff.

Top Soil is black dirt in Minnesota, usually bought screened or pulverized for lawns and planting beds. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers, while Mason Sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Delivery Across Hubbard County

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile on your site, and that is the whole of it.

Delivery covers Park Rapids, Nevis, Akeley, Lake George and Laporte. Rural addresses in the county sit on the same routes.

Concrete sand, black dirt and Crushed Stone all move the same way, in bulk, on a truck. Nothing here is bagged or picked up at a counter.

Choosing the Right Material

Hubbard County sits in the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, and Becker, Cass and Wadena counties share that same ground region. Sandy loam over gravel around the lakes, peat and muck in the low ground, and the flat lake clay of the glacial Lake Aitkin basin.

The ground is the same across all four.

That means a material choice that works in Park Rapids works the same way in the neighbouring counties. Start with Class 5 for any base, and add clear rock wherever water has to move.

Match the material to the job. Class 5 compacts into a base.

Class 2 and driveway gravel surface a drive. Granite fines bed pavers, and drain rock carries water away.

Black dirt and garden soil go on last, once the base and drainage are settled.
