Bulk Material Delivery in Ostrander, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ostrander, MN straight to your site. Water moves fast on these slopes and then vanishes into cracks in the rock.

Coarse stone holds the ground where it sits.

Order Class 5 for a base that binds and compacts. Order clear rock and riprap for the banks that take the runoff.

Materials for Ostrander Projects

Protect the slope first. Coarse, open stone slows water and holds a bank on ground that sheds runoff in a hurry.

Coarse stone for slope, swale and bank protection

RipRap armours lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and steep slopes against ice, waves and spring runoff.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed rock with the fines taken out, so it drains. Use it in drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

Drainage Rock runs as a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here, cut for French drains, drywells and footing drains. It carries water instead of holding it.

Large River Rock handles heavier decorative work, dry creek beds and light slope protection.

Base and surfacing

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

Driveway Gravel as Class 2 granite or limestone gives a tight 3/4 inch crushed surface over a compacted base. It finishes a drive or tops an old one.

Fine stone and bedding

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios, and firm up garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Top Soil, sold here as black dirt, builds lawns and planting beds.

Ground and Conditions in Ostrander

The working season here runs long, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Southeast zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Time a delivery around that. Frozen ground and posted roads both slow a haul into Ostrander.

This is Driftless bluff and karst country. Loess sits over residual soil on limestone, dolostone and sandstone, thin on the ridge tops and deep in the valleys, with rock outcrops on the bluffs and little or no glacial drift.

That ground is karst, worked by groundwater into sinkholes, springs and caves. Water runs off steep slopes fast and then disappears into sinkholes and fractures rather than soaking in evenly.

Surface flow is flashy and valley floors flood quickly. A downspout run aimed at a sinkhole goes straight to groundwater.

Rill and gully erosion cuts steep loess slopes, and bluff and roadcut slumping follows heavy rain. Frost lifts slabs and walks on the thin, silty soils over rock.

That frost depth is 3 feet 6 inches, the depth the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone II counties. It governs footings, not a gravel base.
