Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in New Germany, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Germany, MN. Class 5 is the base most Minnesota yards know by name, and it is the one to start with when ground needs to hold up under a drive or a pad.

Across the Twin Cities metro, water moves differently from one short drive to the next. Some ground takes it fast; some holds it.

The stone you pick should answer the water first.

Materials for New Germany Projects

Slope, swale and bank work takes coarse stone. Water comes off a grade fast in this part of the state, and fine material washes out of a channel.

Start at the heavy end.

RipRap is the armouring stone for lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and slopes.

It holds a face against ice, wave action and spring runoff.

Railroad Ballast is the heaviest drainage stone on the list. Use it for track beds, hard standing and places where water has to move through fast.

Crushed Stone from the St. Cloud belt has been produced for ballast since the quarries opened.

Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock Minnesota yards sell for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. Clear means washed, with the fines taken out.

3/4 Clear Rock suits drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill. It is clean and open, so water passes instead of sitting.

For a compacted base under any of that, Class 5 keeps its fines and binds. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases.

Then there is large round stone. Large River Rock goes into dry creek beds, heavier decorative work and light shoreline and slope protection.

Delivery to New Germany and the Surrounding Area

Order online and set the quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

New Germany sits in Carver County, and delivery covers the towns around it: Chaska, Chanhassen, Waconia, Victoria and Carver. If your site is in that circle, the same order process applies.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A bulk load is heavy and it lands where the truck can back in.

Ground and Conditions in New Germany

The working season here is the longest in the state, running from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April.

That window shapes when a delivery can move.

Ground across the Twin Cities metro is not one thing. Sandy ground north of the rivers takes water fast.

Till in the southern and western suburbs drains slowly. Hard surfaces concentrate runoff, and terraces and bluff faces move water down quickly.

That split decides what goes where. Slow-draining ground under a slab or a drive holds water, and repeated freeze-thaw heaves whatever sits on it.

Coarse, clean stone gives that water a path out. On faster-draining ground, a fines-bearing base like Class 5 is what binds and compacts.

Erosion shows up as gully cutting on graded lots and building sites, and as scour in creeks after heavy rain. Armour those spots with coarse stone rather than fines.
