Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Montgomery, MN

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Montgomery, MN, Minnesota Rock Supply serves two kinds of buyers. Contractors working new builds and additions order alongside homeowners fixing a drive or building a garden bed.

Class 5 is the name to know here. It is the Minnesota base course, and it goes under drives, pads and shed floors on the tight prairie till around Le Sueur County.

Materials for Montgomery Projects

This page leans on soil and fill, because grading and bed prep come first on most lots. The rest of the list is what finishes the job.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it is the layer a lawn or planting bed actually grows in. Order it screened or pulverized for a bed that rakes out level.

Top Soil builds lawns and sod beds where the existing ground is thin or graded away.

Garden Soil is a screened black dirt and compost mix for raised beds and planting areas. It holds moisture through a dry Minnesota summer better than raw subsoil.

Where you need to raise grade before anything goes on top, Fill Dirt does the bulk work.

It is the layer that goes down before a Class 5 course.

Shredded Mulch covers beds and tree rings and keeps that moisture in the ground.

Base and Surfacing

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out. It drains, where Class 5 keeps its fines and compacts instead.

3/4 Clear Rock handles drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill, and it goes under basement slabs. Drainage Rock is the larger clear stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Granite fines come from the Crushed Stone of the St. Cloud belt and bed pavers and flagstone.

Granite Fines also compacts into a firm garden path.

Mason Sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

For beds and borders, Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone sold as river rock, and the larger sizes make dry creek beds. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Montgomery

Start with the water, because that is what decides how a drive or pad performs. Tight till and very little fall drain slowly around here, so rain and snowmelt sit where they land until they can go somewhere.

Most of the farmed ground in this part of the state runs on tile, and closed basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates. That is the same ground your drive sits on.

The thaw and early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are worst. Sheet, rill and gully erosion shows up on bare cropland and freshly graded lots after heavy summer storms.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on the tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. That is why the drainage layer matters as much as the base.

The working season here is long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, which shapes when a build can start.
