Pea Gravel for Pathways in Remer, MN

If you are planning a garden path, a paver patio or a drainage run, Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Remer, MN. Class 5 is the base course to start with, and the fines and screenings go on top.

Remer sits in Cass County, in lake, moraine and outwash country where the ground runs from sandy loam to peat in the low spots.

Ground and Conditions in Remer

Across this part of the state, outwash sand takes water fast while the moraine till between the lakes does not. Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table, and snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

A thin base over that ground shows itself as ruts and soft spots after the thaw. The fix is a compacting base course with the fines left in so it binds, plus a clean drainage layer where water has nowhere to go.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Frost runs deep every winter here. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, and that figure belongs to those counties rather than to Remer.

Materials for Remer Projects

Fines and screenings do the finish work on paths and walkways. Granite fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and they compact into a firm garden path.

Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

Order them through Granite Fines.

For a walkable surface that tightens up underfoot, Walkway Gravel is the finer, compacting option for garden paths and walkways.

Under any of that, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base, and it binds because the fines stay in.

Where a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate is wanted for drive surfacing or paver base, Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec.

Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and drainage. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is round washed stone, so it stays loose rather than locking up.

For a clean layer with the fines taken out, 3/4 Clear Rock goes into drainage beds, drive surfacing and trench backfill.

Questions About Material in Remer

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop area and make sure the truck can reach it and turn around. The load is tipped in one pile, so leave space where you want the material to sit.

Keep the approach open for a heavy vehicle, and have the ground firm enough to take the weight.

What is the best base under pavers in Remer?

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course, and it compacts into a firm layer because the fines stay in. Granite fines go over it as the bedding layer that levels the pavers.

In this part of the state the moraine till between the lakes does not take water well, so the base needs to bind and drain.
