Order Class 5 and Crushed Stone in Todd County, MN
Gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Todd County, MN
Outwash sand takes water fast, but the moraine till between the lakes does not. Snowmelt moves the most water of the year.
Minnesota Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate in Todd County, MN. Order Class 5 for drives, parking pads and road base, washed stone for drainage, and black dirt for lawns.
Materials delivered in Todd County
Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.
County highway departments and cities write their own standards against the same class numbers. Class 5 is ordered for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.
Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.
Use it for drive surfacing and paver base where a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines is wanted.
Granite fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios, and compact into garden paths. Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and drainage runs.
Drain rock handles French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding.
Riprap armours shorelines, streambanks, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff. Black dirt builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds.
Ground conditions across Todd County
This is North central lakes, moraine and outwash country. Wadena and Rainy lobe moraine, drumlin fields and broad outwash sand plains run through the region.
Sandy loam sits over gravel around the lakes, with peat and muck in the low ground and the flat lake clay of the glacial Lake Aitkin basin in the east. Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn.
Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Order ahead of the thaw and pick a delivery date that fits the work you have in front of you.
Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table, so drainage matters as much as base depth there. Clean washed stone such as 3/4 clear rock carries water where fines would hold it.
Clean washed rock also goes under basement slabs and around footing drains, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. In Minnesota, clear rock means washed with the fines taken out, as against Class 5, which keeps them.
Lakeshore erosion comes from wind, wave and boat wake on thousands of lakes, plus bank cutting on the upper Mississippi and the Crow Wing during the spring rise. Riprap and large round rock protect those edges.

Choosing the right material
Stearns County sits in Central Minnesota on granite at or near the surface, worked quarries along the Mississippi and Sauk rivers, and outwash sand and gravel along the river valleys.
That granite belt is a different ground from Todd County's outwash sand plains and moraine till. Where granite is shallow, drainage rock and clear stone matter more than a deep base.
Otter Tail County and Douglas County share Todd County's ground region, the same North central lakes, moraine and outwash country. The ground is the same, so the same class choices carry over.
Match the material to the job. Class 5 for drives and pads, Class 2 or driveway gravel for surfacing, clean stone for drainage, riprap for shorelines, and black dirt for lawns.
