Bulk Gravel Delivery to Maple Grove, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Maple Grove, MN, with the materials local crews know by name. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, and it is what most drives, pads and shed floors start with here.

From Class 5 to washed sand for paver bedding, the order is placed online and tipped at your site.

Maple Grove sits in Hennepin County, on ground that changes character inside a short drive. Sand and gravel terraces along the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers take water fast, while the western and northern suburbs sit on till that drains slowly.

Ground and Conditions in Maple Grove

Across the Twin Cities metro, several different grounds sit close together. The Anoka sand plain drains fast, the till through the western and northern suburbs drains slowly, and the built-up core sheds runoff onto hard surfaces.

Each one fails a thin base in its own way.

Where till holds water under a shallow base, heaving shows up in drives, walks and slabs after repeated freeze-thaw. Graded lots and building sites cut gullies when rain runs off bare ground, and bluff and ravine faces above the metro rivers erode from wave and runoff.

The working season here is the longest in the state, running from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Spring load limits go on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, which sets the window for hauling and grading. Frost depth for the Zone II counties is 3 feet 6 inches, the figure the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets.

That is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for digging a gravel base.

Materials for Maple Grove Projects

A paver patio or a concrete slab is only as flat as what sits under it. Bedding is where these jobs are won, and the right sand or fine stone keeps a walkway even through the freeze-thaw that moves everything above it.

Washed sand, also sold as concrete sand, is the bedding and levelling layer under pavers and slabs. Mason sand is a finer choice for brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Granite fines, which Minnesota yards also call screenings, bed flagstone and patio stone and pack into garden paths.

Under the bedding, Class 5 is the standard base.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as granite, buff or red limestone.

For drainage around a patio or footing, 3/4 clear rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what makes it drain where Class 5 will not. Drainage rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, handles French drains and downspout runs.

Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work, and black dirt and garden soil finish the beds and lawn around the finished job.
