Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Kimball, MN

If you are raising a low lot or building a pad for a shed or garage, gravel and aggregate delivery in Kimball, MN starts with fill and a compacted base. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers bulk material to Stearns County jobs, and Class 5 is the base course most of that work sits on.

This part of the state sits on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, so what you order should match what the ground under it does.

Delivery to Kimball and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you need help sizing the load.

A dump truck then tips your material in one pile at the site. That is the whole of it, so plan where you want the pile to sit before the truck arrives.

Delivery covers Kimball and the rest of Stearns County, including St. Cloud, Sartell, Waite Park, St.

Joseph and Sauk Centre.

Materials for Kimball Projects

Raising grade and building pads come first around here, because a pad that sits too low holds the spring thaw. Start with Fill Dirt to bring a lot or a building pad up to grade.

It is bulk fill, and it goes down before any base course.

Once the grade is where you want it, Class 5 is the base course for driveways, parking pads and shed or garage bases.

For a drive surface over that base, order Driveway Gravel or Class 2. Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing class, sold as granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

Drainage is the other half of a pad. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, used under slabs and around footing drains.

Below a basement slab it also forms the gas-permeable layer a passive radon system needs.

Where a low spot ponds, Drainage Rock moves water instead of holding it. It is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Kimball

Across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, the ground is loam over till, with outwash sand and gravel along the river valleys. Till holds water, and this ground is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins.

That matters for a pad. Low spots pond through the thaw, while the sand and gravel terraces drain freely.

A base built thin over a wet subgrade is where heaving shows up worst.

Crews run base, drive and paver work from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads in March and come off in late April or early May, so plan heavy deliveries around that window.

Deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw are the rule here, not the exception. Zone II counties in Minnesota use a 3 foot 6 inch frost depth in the Residential Code footing table.
