Bulk Material Delivery in Spicer, MN

You need gravel and aggregate delivery in Spicer, MN, and you want to know what to order. Minnesota Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers by the ton.

Start with Class 5, the Minnesota base course that carries drives, pads and shed floors.

Around the lakes here, water is the deciding factor, so the right clean stone matters as much as the base.

Materials for Spicer Projects

Water has somewhere to go on most lots here, and that decides what you order. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need washed stone with the fines taken out, because clean stone lets water move through it.

Start coarse. Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, the usual Minnesota size for French drains, drywells, footing drains and sewer bedding.

#4 Crushed Stone is heavier still, for construction entrances and trench bottoms.

Mid sizes handle drainage beds and concrete work. 3/4 Clear Rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out, and it also works as foundation rock under basement slabs and around footing drains.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone cover drainage and concrete at slightly different sizes.

Fine washed sizes finish the job. #89 Crushed Stone and #8 Crushed Stone bed pipe and fill paver joints.

Class 5 carries the weight. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, garage and shed bases and road base.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a Class 5 course goes down.

For the drive surface itself, Driveway Gravel is Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Crusher Run binds and compacts the same way.

Ground and Conditions in Spicer

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

The ground here is Alexandria moraine and Grantsburg lobe till over granite, part of the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt. Till holds water, and the ground across this part of the state is pocked with lakes, sloughs and closed basins.

Low spots pond through the thaw while sand and gravel terraces along the river valleys drain freely.

That is the reason clean washed stone earns its place on a Spicer job. Where the subgrade stays wet, a drainage layer of clear rock keeps water from sitting against a slab or a footing drain.

Frost heaves worst on loam and clay loam over till, and on drives built thin over a wet subgrade. Where the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets a frost depth of 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, that figure is for the footing, not for a gravel base.

Erosion shows up as sheet and gully washing on tilled slopes after heavy summer rain, plus lakeshore wear from wind and wave. RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.
