Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Monticello, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Monticello, MN, and Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from. It is the Minnesota name for the graded base course used under drives, parking pads and shed floors.

Monticello sits in Wright County, on ground that runs to the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt. That mix of till and outwash shapes what a yard, a drain or a driveway here needs underneath it.

Materials for Monticello Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on a Monticello lot. Clear rock has the fines taken out, so water moves through the voids instead of sitting in the pile.

That is what a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run is built from.

Start with the coarsest sizes and work down. Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, sized for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock is the same clean stone at a smaller size, and it suits drainage beds and trench backfill.

Foundation rock is this same washed stone, and it is the layer under a basement slab and around footing drains. In Minnesota that includes the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system required in new homes.

For finer drainage, 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pipe and tops a compacted base. Granite Fines are the opposite job: bedding for pavers, flagstone and patios, and compacted garden paths.

Where a drive or pad needs to bind and compact rather than drain, Class 5 is the base course. Driveway Gravel, sold here as Class 2 granite or limestone, is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing class that finishes over it.

Crusher Run keeps its fines and compacts the same way.

Round stone and sand cover the rest. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, goes on walkways and play areas.

Mason Sand beds brick and block, and Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

For grade work and planting, Fill Dirt raises a low spot before a Class 5 course goes down. Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, takes a lawn or a bed.

Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Shredded Mulch covers them.

Ground and Conditions in Monticello

Base, drive and paver work here runs from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads in March and come off in late April or early May, so a spring order can wait on the road.

Across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, till holds water and the ground is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins. Low spots pond through the thaw, while the sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely.

Deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw are the other half of it. Heaving is worst on loam and clay loam over till, and on drives built thin over a wet subgrade.

That is why a clean, open-graded stone belongs in a drainage bed and a fines-bearing base belongs under a drive. Each one does the job the other cannot.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Monticello

Do you deliver Class 5 to Monticello, MN?

Yes. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course, and it is delivered across Monticello and Wright County.

Order it by the ton or by the yard on the product page, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips it on site.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Monticello?

It depends on the layer. Class 5 is the compacting base course under a drive, and Class 2, sold as granite or limestone, is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing that finishes over it.

A drive that also has to shed water can use clear rock in a drainage bed beside it.
