Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in South St. Paul, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in South St. Paul, MN, from Class 5 base to washed stone that moves water.

Water is the thing to plan around here. Hard surfaces push runoff fast, and ground along the river terraces takes it away quickly.

Order Class 5 for a drive or a pad, and clean washed rock where drainage has to work.

Materials for South St. Paul Projects

Start with drainage. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone that is washed, with the fines taken out so water passes instead of pooling.

Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. 3/4 Clear Rock is the smaller washed stone for trench backfill and drainage beds.

Minnesota yards call this clear rock because the fines are gone.

Under a slab, the same clean stone forms the gas-permeable layer a passive radon system needs. 3/4 Clear Rock covers that use and foundation drains.

For a drive or a parking pad, Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It keeps its fines, binds, and compacts into a firm surface.

Want a tighter surface over that base? Driveway Gravel is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold around the state as Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone.

Where a walk or a garden path needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel compacts underfoot. Bed pavers and flagstone on Granite Fines, the screenings crushed from granite in the St.

Cloud belt.

For decorative beds and borders, Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work.

Ground and Conditions in South St. Paul

The Twin Cities metro has the longest working season in the state, running from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, so early-spring deliveries can be restricted by weight.

Across this part of the state the ground varies inside a short drive. Sandy terraces along the rivers take water fast, while till ground drains slowly and holds it under a thin base.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Heaving drives, walks and slabs show up wherever a clay loam subgrade holds water under a shallow base.

The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 42 inches for its Zone II counties, and that is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.

Bluff and ravine erosion above the rivers, gully cutting on graded lots, and streambank scour in urban creeks after heavy rain all point the same way: move water off the surface and give it somewhere clean to go.
