Fill and Base Material Delivered in Richmond, MN

Building up a low lot or setting a shed pad? Start with fill and sub-base, then cap it with Class 5.

Minnesota Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Richmond, MN, and the ground here decides what goes under your slab.

Richmond sits in Stearns County on the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, where loam over till holds water. That is why the pad gets built before the surface does.

Materials for Richmond Projects

Raising grade and building pads come first on most sites here, because a pad set on soft ground will not hold. Fill brings the lot up to level, and a compacted base course goes over it.

Fill Dirt is the bulk material for raising grade and backfilling before anything else goes down.

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads and garage slabs.

Crusher Run is crushed rock with the fines left in, for base and drives that need to bind and compact. Minnesota yards often sell it by class or by a minus size instead.

For a patio or walkway. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or limestone.

Granite Fines, also called screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and firm up garden paths. In this part of the state they come from Crushed Stone in the St.

Cloud belt.

Around a foundation, drainage is the job. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what clear rock means in Minnesota.

Ground and Conditions in Richmond

Across the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, till holds water and the ground is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins. Low spots pond through the thaw, and a base built thin over that wet subgrade heaves.

Sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely, so ground on one side of a lot can behave nothing like the other. The fill and base course have to suit what is actually under them.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Central zone roads in March and come off in late April or early May, which shapes when a load can reach a site.

Questions About Ordering in Richmond

What is the best base under pavers in Richmond?

Start with a compacted base course, then bed the pavers. Class 5 is the Minnesota base class used under drives and pads, and Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate.

On top of that, Granite Fines bed the pavers and fill the joints. The base has to be built over ground that drains, because loam over till holds water and a soft subgrade will not carry the load.

Do you supply contractors working in Richmond?

Yes. Contractors order the same way a homeowner does: online, by the ton or by the yard, with the quantity chosen at checkout and a delivery date picked there.
