Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Kinney, MN

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Kinney, MN, the first question is usually what to put under the water. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand and soil across St.

Louis County, and up here that starts with Class 5 for the base and washed stone for everything that has to drain.

Kinney sits in the Iron Range, North Shore and Superior Upland ground region, where thin, stony till over bedrock means water runs off fast and gathers in the hollows instead of soaking in.

Materials for Kinney Projects

Start with the drainage work, because that is what the ground here asks for. Washed stone is the Minnesota way of saying clear rock: the fines are taken out, so water moves through the void space instead of sitting in it.

For French drains, drywells and downspout runs, Drainage Rock is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock. 3/4 Clear Rock does the same job at a smaller size.

The same clean stone acts as foundation rock under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system.

For fine drainage, pipe bedding and a thin topping over a compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone is sold as granite chips or as a red or buff limestone chip.

Then the base and surfacing layers. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course under drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Driveway Gravel is the Class 2 surfacing material, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, for drive surfacing and paver base.

Finish work runs to Granite Fines for paver, flagstone and patio bedding, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, for walkways and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Kinney

Timing matters more here than almost anywhere in the state. This is the shortest working season in Minnesota: frozen ground stops compaction from late autumn into April, and spring load limits run into mid-May on North zone roads.

That shapes when you take a load. Material that has to be compacted, like Class 5 or a fines-bearing surfacing stone, needs ground that is not locked up or thawing soft.

The ground itself is thin, stony till over bedrock, with rock at or close to the surface across much of the northeast. Water cannot soak into rock, so it runs off fast and gathers in the hollows and peat basins, and snowmelt is the heaviest flow of the year.

That is why washed stone carries so much of the work around here, and why drainage layers matter as much as the surface. Shallow soil over ledge also lifts slabs, posts and gravel drives every spring.

Questions About Gravel in Kinney

Do you deliver Class 5 to Kinney, MN?

Yes. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5 and other bulk aggregate to Kinney and the surrounding parts of St.

Louis County. You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load on your site. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Kinney?

For most drives here, Class 5 goes down first as the base course, then Class 2 surfacing stone, sold as driveway gravel, finishes the surface. Class 2 is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, which binds and compacts.

If your drive already has a compacted base, driveway gravel alone can top it. Where water is the problem, put clear rock in the drainage first.
