Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for McGrath, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in McGrath, MN by the ton. Class 5 is the base course most ground here gets built on.

It goes under driveways, parking pads and shed floors.

This part of Aitkin County sits in moraine and outwash country. Sand and gravel ground drains fast, but the low spots hold water.

That shapes what you put down, and how much of it.

Materials for McGrath Projects

Water is the job here. Outwash sand takes it fast, moraine till does not, and lake margins sit close to the water table.

Start with clean washed stone where drainage has to move.

Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock. It goes in French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out. Use it for drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

It is also called foundation rock when it goes under a slab.

3/8" Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for pipe bedding and fine drainage. It also tops a compacted base.

RipRap is coarse stone for lakeshore, culvert outlets and slope armouring. It holds against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Where you need a surface that binds, Class 5 and Class 2 do the work.

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Top Soil finishes a lawn once the grade is set.

Ground and Conditions in McGrath

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Base, drive and paver work fits in that window.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May. Time a delivery around that if your ground is soft.

Across this part of the state, sandy loam over gravel sits around the lakes, with peat and muck in the low ground. Outwash sand takes water fast; moraine till between the lakes does not.

Deep frost every winter is worst where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table. The water has nowhere to go as it freezes.

That is the case for a clean drainage layer under a slab and around footing drains, with Class 5 above it.
