Bulk Gravel Delivery to Wendell, MN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Wendell, MN online, by the ton or by the yard. Minnesota Rock Supply delivers Class 5, washed stone, sand and soil to Grant County addresses.

Class 5 is the base course most Minnesota drives and pads start from. Around the lakes here, sandy loam sits over gravel in places and peat sits in the low ground.

Ground and Conditions in Wendell

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, the ground changes fast from one lot to the next. Outwash sand takes water quickly.

The moraine till between the lakes does not, and low ground near a wetland sits close under the water table.

A thin base shows its weakness in spring. Snowmelt is the biggest water event of the year, and where a sandy surface sits over tight till, that water has nowhere to go as it freezes.

Build the base deep enough to bridge that soft layer and the drive holds its shape. Skimp on it and the surface rutts and pumps within a season or two.

Time the work between the spring thaw and late autumn. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May.

Deep frost arrives every winter in this part of the state. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet (60 inches) for its Zone I counties, and that figure is a footing depth set by the building official, not a gravel depth.

Materials for Wendell Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths, walkways and paver bedding. Start there, then build the heavier base under it.

Granite Fines

Granite Fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio work. They also make a compacted garden path.

Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

Walkway Gravel

Walkway Gravel gives garden paths and walkways a finer, walkable surface that compacts under foot. It finishes a path that would otherwise stay loose and dusty.

Class 5

Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard Minnesota base course. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Class 2

Driveway Gravel covers Class 2. It is a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone, for drive surfacing and paver base.

3/4 Clear Rock

3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what clear rock means in Minnesota. It drains, so it suits drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Black Dirt

Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, covers lawns, sod beds and planting beds. It is usually bought screened or pulverized.

Questions from Wendell Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the spot where the pile will sit and make sure the truck can reach it and back in. Move vehicles, trailers and anything else out of the way.

The driver tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the material out of the way of your work and your driveway.

What is the best base under pavers in Wendell?

Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course under a paver area. Bed the pavers themselves on granite fines, which compact tight and hold a level surface.

Build the base deep enough to bridge the soft ground that shows up here after the spring thaw.
