Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Tyler, MN

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Tyler, MN, the first question is usually what to put down. Minnesota Rock Supply sells Class 5, the standard Minnesota base course, along with decorative rock, sand and soil for delivery across the area.

This part of Lincoln County sits on tight prairie till, so what you order matters as much as how much you order.

Delivery to Tyler and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want help sizing the load.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at your site. That is the whole of it, and it keeps the process simple whether you are working in Tyler or out toward Lake Benton, Hendricks, Ivanhoe or Arco.

Bulk loads go to driveways, building pads, garden beds and shoreline work throughout Lincoln County. Have the spot clear before the truck arrives, since the load lands where it is tipped and stays there.

Materials for Tyler Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Tyler yards start, and the round stone does most of it. Minnesota River Rock is a round washed stone for beds, borders and rock mulch around foundations, and it holds its color through the dry stretch of summer.

Large River Rock is the heavier version, used for dry creek beds and light slope protection. A dry creek bed needs stone that will not wash out when the spring thaw sends water across a yard.

For paths and beds that need a finer surface, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio joints, and compact into garden paths. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, sold here as pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work.

Underneath all of it, Class 5 is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads and shed or garage floors. Class 5 keeps its fines, which is what lets it bind and hold together.

Ground and Conditions in Tyler

The ground across the Southern and western prairie till is loamy to clayey and carries shale, with deep black prairie soil over it. That till is tight, and tight ground does not drain well.

Water that cannot move down or away sits until it freezes, and repeated freeze-thaw heaves whatever is sitting on top of it. An under-built base shows that first, which is why the base course matters more here than the surface stone.

Most of the farmed ground in this part of the state runs on tile, and closed basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates. Around a yard or drive, that means planning where water goes before you order.

Graded lots also shed water fast after a heavy summer storm, and bare ground cuts into rills and gullies. Riprap and shoreline rock armor culvert outlets and banks against that flow.

The working season here is long by Minnesota standards, running from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, which is worth knowing if a load has to reach a soft road.
