Buy Class 5 in McIntosh, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in McIntosh, MN, with Class 5 as the base material for drives, parking pads and shed floors.

The ground across this part of Polk County is sandy loam over gravel in places and heavier, wetter soil in others, so the base you put down has to suit the spot.

You order by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for McIntosh Projects

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It packs down into a firm, bound surface for a driveway, a parking pad or the floor of a shed or garage.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines that tightens up over a compacted base. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry.

For topping an existing drive, Driveway Gravel finishes over a base that is already firm. Where you want crushed rock with the fines left in so it binds and compacts, Crusher Run does that work.

Washed stone is the other half of the job. Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, and 3/4 Clear Rock goes into drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

Under a basement slab or around footing drains, that same clean washed rock forms the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, runs French drains, drywells and downspout lines.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason Sand beds brick and block work and fills paver joints, while Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and Top Soil builds lawns and planting beds.

For decorative work, Minnesota River Rock covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in McIntosh

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, outwash sand takes water fast while the moraine till between the lakes does not. Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table.

Snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

That split decides what goes under a drive. On sandy ground water drops away, but where tight till or a high water table sits below, meltwater has nowhere to go and the surface stays soft through the spring.

Deep frost every winter makes it worse in exactly those spots. Frost depth is 5 feet, the figure the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone I counties, and that is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Lakeshore erosion from wind, wave and boat wake is the other driver, along with bank cutting during the spring rise.
