Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in New London, MN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in New London, MN by the ton or by the yard. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5, crushed stone, sand, black dirt and fill across Kandiyohi County.

This part of the state sits on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, where loam over till covers the farmed ground between the lakes. That ground shapes what you put under a drive, a pad or a bed.

Materials for New London Projects

Start with the ground itself. Grading and bed prep come before any stone goes down, and that work runs on black dirt, garden soil and fill.

Top Soil, sold here as black dirt, builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds. It comes screened or pulverized, and it is the layer roots actually use.

Garden Soil is a garden mix of screened black dirt and compost. Use it in raised beds and planting areas where you want tilth, not just volume.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down. It is bulk material, not a finished surface.

Under a drive or a parking pad, Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It binds and compacts, which is what a base has to do.

For the surface layer, Driveway Gravel is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite or limestone. It finishes over a compacted base.

Washed stone is the other family. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, so it drains instead of holding water.

That makes it the choice for drainage beds, trench backfill and the clean layer under a basement slab. Minnesota homes also use it as the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system.

Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Granite Fines bed pavers and flagstone and surface garden paths.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints.

Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against wave and spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in New London

Start with where the water goes. Till holds it, and the ground here is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins, so low spots pond through the thaw.

The sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely by comparison. Two lots a short distance apart can behave very differently after snowmelt.

That difference decides what goes under your work. A wet subgrade under a thin drive is where heaving shows up first, because deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw move loam and clay loam over till.

Across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 42 inches for its Zone II counties. That figure is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.

Erosion follows the same water. Heavy summer rain sheets and gullies tilled slopes, wind and wave wear at lakeshores, and banks cut along the rivers.

Timing matters too. Base, drive and paver work 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.

What stone should I use for drainage in New London?

Use washed stone for drainage. 3/4 Clear Rock, Drainage Rock and the smaller washed sizes all have the fines taken out, so water moves through instead of sitting.

Class 5 keeps its fines and compacts into a base, so it is the wrong choice for a drain. Match the size to the drain and the pipe.
