Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in North Branch, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in North Branch, MN, by the ton. Class 5 is the base course this market builds on, a crushed aggregate with the fines left in for drives, parking pads and shed bases.

The ground around North Branch is sandy, so what sits under a slab or a drive matters as much as what you see.

Materials for North Branch Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for on a lot in this area. Washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs do the moving, and the size you pick decides how fast the water goes.

Coarse washed stone

Drain rock is the usual 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, and it goes in French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. Clear rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what keeps water moving through it.

Drainage Rock is the size to start with on a wet lot.

RipRap is the heavy end, coarse stone for culvert outlets, streambank work and slope armouring where runoff and ice do the damage. #4 Crushed Stone and #57 Stone sit just under it for trench bottoms and drainage beds.

Mid sizes

3/4 Clear Rock is the workhorse washed size for drainage beds, drive surfacing and trench backfill. The same clean washed rock goes under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer a passive radon system needs.

#89 Crushed Stone and #8 Crushed Stone are the small washed grades, for paver joints, tight bedding and fine drainage.

Fines-bearing base and surface material

Class 5 keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts into a base for drives, pads and road base.

Order it at Class 5.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a tighter 3/4 inch crushed rock sold as granite, buff limestone or red limestone. Use it for drive surfacing and paver base.

It is listed under Driveway Gravel, along with driveway gravel for topping an existing drive.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason sand beds pavers and fills sandboxes, washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and fill dirt raises grade before a Class 5 course goes down.

Lawns and beds take black dirt, the Minnesota name for topsoil, sold screened or pulverized at Top Soil.

Ground and Conditions in North Branch

This part of the state sits on the East central sand plain and St. Croix moraine, where clean sand and gravel in the outwash drain fast and sandy loam over till on the ridges sheds water instead.

That split decides where a drainage layer earns its place. Low ground and lake margins stay wet because the water table sits close beneath the sand.

Dry sand ridges lose moisture quickly, and bare sand on a fresh grading blows and washes until it is covered.

Work runs longer here than up north, but the ground stays frost bound through winter. Spring load limits go on North-Central and Central zone roads from March into late April or May, so plan deliveries around that window.

What gravel is best for a driveway in North Branch?

Class 5 is the standard base for a drive, since it keeps its fines and compacts into a firm surface. Top it with Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed surfacing rock, or with driveway gravel.

On a lot where water stands, put a clean washed stone drainage layer in first.
