Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Reads Landing, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Reads Landing, MN. The working season here runs from the thaw into late autumn, so grading and bed prep fit around it.

Order Class 5 for a base and soil for the ground under it, all in one online order. See the product pages for Class 5 and the rest of what moves.

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It goes down under drives, pads, and shed bases.

The loess over limestone in this part of the state is thin on the ridge tops and deep in the valleys, and that shapes what each site needs.

Materials for Reads Landing Projects

Grading and bed prep start from the ground, not the stone. Black dirt and garden soil build the bed, and fill dirt raises the grade before anything goes on top.

Top Soil, sold here as black dirt, is what lawns and sod beds are built from. It is bought screened or pulverized.

Use it where a lawn or planting bed needs real soil.

Garden Soil is a garden mix of screened black dirt and compost, built for raised beds and planting areas. It holds moisture through the dry stretch of a Minnesota summer and gives roots something to work into.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill for raising grade. It goes down before a Class 5 course, and it is what levels a low corner of a lot.

Class 5 is the standard base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base. It keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts under a drive.

On sloped ground in this county, that compacted base is what holds the surface together.

RipRap is coarse classed stone for shoreline, streambank, culvert outlets, and slope armouring.

Ground and Conditions in Reads Landing

Water here runs off steep slopes fast and then disappears into sinkholes and fractures instead of soaking in evenly. Surface flow is flashy, valley floors flood quickly, and a downspout run aimed at a sinkhole goes straight to groundwater.

That changes where stone goes. Clean washed stone like Drainage Rock moves water, while a fines-bearing base like Class 5 compacts and holds a grade.

Keeping the two jobs separate is the difference between a dry site and a wet one.

Erosion across the Driftless bluff and karst country shows up as rill and gully cutting on steep loess slopes, plus bluff and roadcut slumping after heavy rain. Armour the outlets and the slopes, and let the drainage layer carry the water away.

Spring load limits go up on Southeast zone roads in early March and come off in April. Schedule grading and soil work around that window so the ground is workable when the load lands.

Frost is a real factor in Wabasha County. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, and that figure is a footing depth set by the building official, not a base depth.

Questions About Ordering in Reads Landing

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Reads Landing?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load from your project.

Choose your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. Have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck arrives.

What stone should I use for drainage in Reads Landing?

Clean washed stone is the choice, and in Minnesota that usually means clear rock with the fines taken out. Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock used for French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, and downspout runs.

A fines-bearing base like Class 5 is for compaction, not for moving water.
