Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Jordan, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jordan, MN, and the ground here decides how a base gets built. Jordan sits in Scott County, south of the Minnesota River, where Des Moines lobe till drains slowly and holds water.

That is why Class 5 goes down first on most drives and pads, and why drainage stone matters as much as the base itself.

Class 5 is the Minnesota name for the graded base course, and it is the starting point for a drive, a parking pad or a shed base here. From there you pick the stone that handles water.

Materials for Jordan Projects

Washed stone is the part of a project that deals with water rather than traffic. In this part of the state that means French drains, drywells, downspout runs and footing drains.

The stone stays clean and open so water moves through it instead of sitting against a foundation.

Class 5 is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, shed and garage floors and road base. It keeps its fines, so it binds and firms up under a load.

Pair it with a clean stone where water needs somewhere to go.

Drain rock is the workhorse for French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding. In Minnesota it is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Drainage Rock is what you want where a trench has to carry water away from a wall.

Foundation rock is the clean washed rock that goes under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer under the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. 3/4 Clear Rock covers that use and doubles as a drainage bed or construction entrance.

At the finer end, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios and compact into garden paths. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, sold here as pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work.

For the base itself, Class 5 goes down first, and Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted base or tops an existing drive.

A dump truck tips the load on site.

Each product page carries a calculator, and that is the place to size a load. Bulk delivery means the material arrives as one tipped pile, so it pays to think about where that pile lands before the truck backs in.

Ground and Conditions in Jordan

The working season across the Twin Cities metro runs from the spring thaw into late autumn, the longest stretch in the state. Spring load limits go on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, which is worth knowing when you time a delivery.

Ground south of the Minnesota River is largely Des Moines lobe till, which drains slowly and holds water. Sandy ground north of the rivers takes water fast by comparison.

On a till subgrade, a clean drainage layer does real work under a slab or alongside a footing.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and drives, walks and slabs heave wherever a clay loam subgrade holds water under a thin base. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, and that figure belongs to the footing, not to a gravel base.

Gully cutting on graded lots and building sites is common after heavy rain, and streambank scour shows up in creeks. Riprap and drainage stone are the usual answers on slope edges, culvert outlets and downspout runs.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Jordan?

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course and the right first layer for a drive here, because it keeps its fines and binds on a till subgrade. Top it with Driveway Gravel if you want a tighter, tidier surface, or use Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines, for the wearing course.

Add clean drainage stone where water sits.
