Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Margie, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Margie, MN, with bulk loads ordered online and tipped at your site. Class 5 is the base course most Minnesota yards sell under that name, and it is the material drives, pads and road bases here start from.

Margie sits in Koochiching County, in the northern lake plain, where deep silt and clay settled out in still water. That ground shapes what you order and how much of it you need.

Materials for Margie Projects

Base and driveway surfacing carry the work here. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, and it goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone, and it finishes a drive over a compacted base.

Where you want crushed rock that binds and compacts, crusher run keeps the fines in. Minnesota yards usually sell it by class or by a minus size rather than by that name.

Around the drive and the house, washed stone and sand do the drainage and bedding work.

• 3/4 Clear Rock for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill, washed with the fines taken out.
• Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.
• Granite Fines for paver, flagstone and patio bedding and for compacted garden paths.
• Washed Sand, also sold as concrete sand, for bedding and levelling under slabs and pavers.

Soil and decorative stone round out a lot. Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it is bought screened or pulverized for lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and rock mulch around foundations. RipRap armours shorelines, streambanks, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Margie

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, water has almost no fall to run on, and the subgrade underneath is tight clay or peat. Rain and snowmelt sit where they land instead of draining away.

That is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface material. Clear rock and drain rock move water off a site that will not take it in, and they stay clean because the fines are washed out.

Spring is the other half of the picture. The building season is short at both ends, and base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out.

North zone roads carry spring load limits from late March into May.

Frost here is driven deep into clay that holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets a 5 foot frost depth for its Zone I counties.

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