Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in St. Hilaire, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Hilaire, MN to sites across Pennington County.

Water is the driver here. Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is flat and the subgrade holds what falls on it.

That shapes what you order. Coarse, clean stone moves water.

Class 5 builds the base under a drive, and the sizes above it armor the places water runs hardest.

Materials for St. Hilaire Projects

Start coarse. Slope, swale and bank protection want stone that will not wash out when the thaw lets go.

Riprap is the heavy end of that work.

RipRap armors lakeshore, streambank, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.

Below riprap in size, Drainage Rock handles French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding. In Minnesota it is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what clear means here. Use it for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Under a slab, that same clean washed rock goes in as foundation rock, also called radon rock or under-slab rock. It forms the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Then the base course. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Where you want a tighter crushed surface, Driveway Gravel is the Class 2 material: 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry.

Round stone has its own jobs. Minnesota River Rock fills decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and rock mulch around foundations.

Large River Rock suits dry creek beds, heavier decorative work and light shoreline and slope protection.

Finer material finishes the job. Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios and compact garden paths.

Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, takes lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Ground and Conditions in St. Hilaire

Timing decides most of this work. Base, drive and paver jobs wait for the thaw and for the clay to dry out.

Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends.

The ground itself works against you. Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the soil is deep silt and clay settled out in still water, weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source.

Usable sand and gravel sit in the old beach ridges and river terraces.

There is almost no fall across the plain, so meltwater and rain sit where they land. Put clean stone where water collects and let it move.

Frost drives deep into clay that holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet (60 inches) for its Zone I counties.
