Bulk Material Delivery in Ivanhoe, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ivanhoe, MN. Start with Class 5, the base course this state builds drives and pads on.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, rain runs off tight ground instead of soaking in. Coarse stone is what holds a slope, a swale or a bank in place.

Materials for Ivanhoe Projects

Loose ground after a hard storm needs weight and open voids, not fines. Coarse stone drops into a rut, a swale or a washed bank and stays put.

Coarse Stone for Slope and Bank Protection

RipRap is the heavy stone for shorelines, culvert outlets and graded slopes that take runoff. Class is how the state specifies it.

Railroad Ballast is a coarse Crushed Stone for hard standing and severe drainage where water moves fast.

Large River Rock is round, heavy stone for dry creek beds and lighter slope work. It also borders beds and softens a raw bank edge.

Drainage Rock runs about 1 1/2 inches and clear. It goes in French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

Base, Surface and Bedding

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It builds driveways, parking pads and shed or garage bases.

Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base. Class 2 is the 3/4 inch minus surfacing aggregate here.

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and compact into garden paths.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed, with the fines taken out. It drains, so it suits drainage beds and trench backfill.

Top Soil is black dirt here. It finishes lawns, sod beds and planting beds after the grade is set.

Ground and Conditions in Ivanhoe

The working season here is long by Minnesota standards. It runs from the thaw into late autumn, so you can time a delivery to your schedule.

Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April. Plan around that window if the truck has to reach a soft site.

Under the black prairie soil sits gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale. Water drains slowly through it.

Heaving is worst on that tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. Coarse stone and clear rock give meltwater somewhere to go.

Bare cropland and graded lots take sheet, rill and gully erosion after heavy summer storms. RipRap and clear rock armour the places water leaves the site.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Ivanhoe

What stone should I use for drainage in Ivanhoe?

Use clean, open stone, not a fines-bearing base. Drainage Rock at about 1 1/2 inches clear suits French drains, drywells and footing drains.

3/4 Clear Rock works for drainage beds and trench backfill. Class 5 keeps its fines and compacts, so it belongs under a drive or pad, not in a drain.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with nothing overhead and firm enough ground for a loaded truck. The driver tips the load in one pile, so leave room for it.
