Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Wheaton, MN

Minnesota Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Wheaton, MN from Class 5 down to washed sand. Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, water sits where it lands on a tight clay subgrade.

That is why the wet jobs here start with washed stone. Clear rock moves water instead of holding it, and Class 5 builds the compacted base under everything else.

Materials for Wheaton Projects

Drainage drives the material list in Traverse County. A downspout run, a drywell or a French drain only works if the stone around it stays open, so you want washed rock with the fines taken out.

Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells, footing drains and sewer bedding. Water passes through it and keeps moving.

3/4 Clear Rock is the smaller washed size. Use it for drainage beds, trench backfill, construction entrances and the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system.

3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and a thin topping over a compacted base. It is sold as granite chips or as a red or buff limestone chip depending on the quarry.

Underneath the drainage. It goes down for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Where a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface with fines is wanted, Driveway Gravel covers drive surfacing and paver base. Class 2 is the surfacing class in Spec 3138, made of crushed quarry rock.

Sand and soil finish the same jobs. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, takes the lawn or planting bed after the base is done.

Ground and Conditions in Wheaton

Timing is the first decision here. Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out, and the building season is short at both ends.

Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May. Plan the delivery around that window rather than against it.

Under the flat ground, deep silt and clay settled out in still water on the bed of glacial Lake Agassiz. Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain there is almost no fall, so meltwater and rain sit where they land.

Lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source. The usable sand and gravel sit in the beach ridges and river terraces.

Frost drives deep into that clay and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets its Zone I counties at 5 feet.
