3/8 Inch Crushed Stone for Patios in Ogilvie, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ogilvie, MN for two kinds of buyers. Contractors working in Kanabec County order Class 5 by the load, and homeowners finishing a patio or a drive order the same material in smaller quantities.

This ground is sandy, and it sits on the East central sand plain and St. Croix moraine.

That shapes what goes under flatwork here.

Ground and Conditions in Ogilvie

A patio or walk poured over a thin base tells you quickly. The slabs rock at the corners, joints open, and the surface holds water in the low spots after a rain.

The cause is usually the ground underneath. Across the East central sand plain and St.

Croix moraine, the outwash is clean sand and gravel, and the ridges carry sandy loam over till.

Sand drains fast, and it also moves. Bare sand on a fresh grading blows and washes, so an open lot loses its shape before anything is built on it.

Water is the other half. The sand plain soaks up rain almost as fast as it falls and the water table sits close beneath it, so low ground and lake margins stay wet while the sand ridges dry out.

Tight red till on the moraine sheds water instead of taking it. A base that cannot shed what reaches it will not stay put through a Minnesota thaw.

Winter works on this ground in cycles. Sand drains and refreezes quickly, so drives and walks move with each cycle rather than once in the spring.

Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads from March into late April or May. Plan bulk orders around that window if the site sits on a posted road.

Materials for Ogilvie Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows. The base carries the load, and the bedding layer levels what sits on top of it.

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

Class 5 keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts into a firm platform. That is what a paver patio or a slab needs beneath it.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Minnesota yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

Use Driveway Gravel to top an existing drive or to finish over a compacted base. It also acts as paver base where a tighter crushed material is wanted.

Granite Fines are the bedding layer itself. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt, and they bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and compact into garden paths.

Washed Sand, also sold as concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, and fills sandboxes and play areas.

3/8" Crushed Stone is a fine drainage stone and a thin topping over a compacted base. It also beds pipe.

Yards sell it as granite chips or as a red or buff limestone chip depending on the quarry.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed, with the fines taken out, which is the Minnesota way of saying it drains. It suits drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.
