Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Prior Lake, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Prior Lake, MN, from Class 5 base course to washed stone for drainage. Ground here sits in the Twin Cities metro, where hard surfaces push runoff fast and the ground below decides where it goes.

Start with Class 5 for a base. Move to clean, washed stone when water has to pass through instead of sit.

Materials for Prior Lake Projects

Water off a roof, a driveway or a graded lot needs somewhere to go. Washed stone gives it a path.

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, so the voids stay open and water moves.

Drainage Rock is the coarse end, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here. It goes into French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding.

3/4 Clear Rock is the same idea at a smaller size. Use it for drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

It also acts as foundation rock, the clean washed layer under a basement slab and around footing drains.

3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and pipe bedding, and tops a compacted base. #89 Crushed Stone is smaller still, for paver joints and tight bedding.

Where a surface has to bind instead of drain, Class 5 is the base course.

Class 5 builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted base or tops an existing drive.

Ground and Conditions in Prior Lake

This is the longest working season 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.

Time a delivery around that window.

Across the Twin Cities metro, ground varies inside a short drive. Sandy ground north of the rivers takes water fast.

Till in the southern and western suburbs drains slowly.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Drives, walks and slabs heave where a clay loam subgrade holds water under a thin base.

The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, and footing depth is set by the building official.

Bluff and ravine erosion above the rivers, gully cutting on graded lots and streambank scour after heavy rain all move material. Riprap armours slopes and culvert outlets against ice, wave and spring runoff.
