Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Montevideo, MN

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Montevideo, MN, the ground under your project shapes every load you order. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand, black dirt and Class 5 by the ton or by the yard, delivered to your site.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the soil runs loamy to clayey and carries shale. Water moves through it slowly, so what sits below a drive or a pad matters as much as the surface.

Materials for Montevideo Projects

Slope, swale and bank work on tight ground calls for coarse, open stone. Each size below does a different job, and the coarsest pieces go where water moves fastest.

Coarse Stone for Slope, Swale and Bank Protection

RipRap is the heavy end of the range, sold as rip rap or shoreline rock. It armours banks, culvert outlets and slopes against wave action, ice and spring runoff.

#4 Crushed Stone sits behind that as heavy drainage and a stable trench bottom. Drainage Rock handles French drains, drywells, downspout runs and footing drains, usually as a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Minnesota River Rock and Large River Rock are the round, decorative choices. Use large river rock in dry creek beds and for light slope protection, and the smaller river rock as rock mulch around foundations.

Base and Surfacing Stone

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and road base.

Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted base. Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone is the 3/4 inch minus surfacing aggregate, a tighter crushed rock with fines.

Crusher Run keeps its fines and binds where a drive or base needs to compact. Local yards here more often sell it by class or by a minus size.

Clear Rock, Fines and Sand

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is the Minnesota meaning of clear rock. It goes into drainage beds, trench backfill and foundation rock under slabs.

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work. Mason Sand does brick and block work and paver joints, while Washed Sand levels beds under slabs and pavers.

For lawns and beds, black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and Top Soil arrives screened. Shredded Mulch covers beds and tree rings through the dry stretch of summer.

Delivery to Montevideo and the Surrounding Area

You order online and a dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help size the load.

At checkout you pick the delivery date that suits your project. Montevideo sits in Chippewa County, and coverage reaches the surrounding communities, including Clara City, Milan, Maynard and Watson.

If your project is on a bank, in a swale or on a graded lot that sheds water fast, plan for a coarse load and a fine one together. Getting the stone on site when the ground is workable matters more than anything else.

Ground and Conditions in Montevideo

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Across this part of the state, spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, so early spring delivery on those routes can be limited.

The till here is tight and shale-rich, and the land has almost no fall. Water sits until it drains or evaporates, and the thaw plus early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are at their worst.

That slow drainage is why base depth matters so much on a drive or pad.

Heaving is worst where water cannot get away before it freezes, and the repeated freeze-thaw of a prairie winter works on anything that holds moisture. A clean, open stone layer gives that water somewhere to go instead of letting it sit against a base.

Heavy summer storms also cut banks and gullies on bare or freshly graded ground, which is where riprap earns its place.
