Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Moose Lake, MN

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Moose Lake, MN runs on a short season. Frozen ground stops compaction from late autumn into April, and the spring load limits hold into mid-May.

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton so you can time a drop to that window.

Class 5 is the base most drives and pads here start from, and it is the first material to line up before anything else lands on site.

Materials for Moose Lake Projects

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

Order it at Class 5.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Use it to surface a drive or bed pavers where you want a material that binds.

Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone, and it orders at Driveway Gravel.

Clear rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is the difference between it and Class 5. That open structure makes it a drainage material for beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

It also acts as foundation rock under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. Order 3/4 Clear Rock.

Granite fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work, and they compact into garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt. Order Granite Fines.

Mason sand serves brick and block work, paver joints, sandboxes and play areas. Washed sand, also sold as concrete sand, is the bedding and levelling sand under slabs and pavers.

Black dirt is the local name for topsoil, usually bought screened or pulverized for lawns and planting beds, and garden soil is a mix of screened black dirt and compost for raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Moose Lake

Across the Iron Range, North Shore and the Superior Upland, water cannot soak into rock. It runs off fast and gathers in the hollows and peat basins.

Snowmelt is the heaviest flow of the year. In Carlton County that means drainage is worth planning before surfacing.

This part of the state carries thin, stony till over Precambrian bedrock, with rock at or close to the surface in many spots. The red sandy drift from the Superior and Rainy lobes drains quickly.

Where you hit rock or tight ground, a clean washed layer under a slab or drain moves water that would otherwise sit.

Spring frost lifts shallow soil over ledge, and it moves slabs, posts and gravel drives. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, which is a footing figure set by the building official rather than a base depth for a drive.
