Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Warsaw, MN

If you are building a driveway, setting a shed pad or running drainage on a lot in Rice County, gravel and aggregate delivery in Warsaw, MN starts with the base.

Minnesota Rock Supply sells Class 5.

Ground here is tight. Water sits in the low spots until it drains or dries, so what you put under a drive or a pad matters as much as what you put on top.

Materials for Warsaw Projects

Class 5 is the base course to start from. It is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer under a driveway, a parking pad or a garage slab.

Order it at Class 5.

It is a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold around the state as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

Use it to surface a drive or bed pavers. See Driveway Gravel.

Where a drive needs to bind and hold together, crusher run keeps the fines in the mix. Minnesota yards sell it by class or by a minus size more often than by the name.

It is listed at Crusher Run.

Washed stone has the fines taken out, which is what makes it drain. Clear rock is the local way of saying that.

Use 3/4 Clear Rock for drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

For bedding and finish work, Granite Fines compact under pavers, flagstone and garden paths, and Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills sandboxes. Lawns and beds take Top Soil, which is black dirt here, sold screened or pulverized.

Ground and Conditions in Warsaw

This part of the state sits on gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. Under the deep black prairie soil, that till does not drain quickly.

On ground like this, water is the whole story. Rain, snowmelt and early summer storms have almost no fall to run off on, so the tight till holds what it catches.

That shapes what goes underground. A washed stone layer under a slab or around a footing drain gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against the soil.

Clear rock and drain rock do that work because they carry no fines.

Freeze-thaw is hardest where water cannot get away before it freezes, which is the shale-rich till. Footing depth in this part of Minnesota is set by the building official, and the Minnesota Residential Code footing table lists 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties.

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, so plan heavy hauls around that window.
