Flagpoles in St. Cloud

A granite town before it was anything else, and now the hospital, university and retail stop for the country around it, sitting where the Mississippi crosses three county lines. We cover St. Cloud and the Stearns County area, including the St. Cloud Commercial Historic District along West St. Germain Street, St. Cloud State University, the St. Cloud Hospital and CentraCare campus, the VA grounds, Crossroads Center and the quarry belt out through Waite Park, Rockville and Cold Spring.

Wind here. St. Cloud sits in an inland, granite-shallow area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. The Granite City is not a nickname for nothing. The bedrock is granite, it has been quarried here since the nineteenth century, and out through Waite Park, Rockville and Cold Spring the quarries are still the local industry. Where that rock sits shallow a 3 ft 6 in frost footing is a cut rather than a dig, and which of the two you have moves the number more than the pole does. The city also spans Stearns, Benton and Sherburne, so which side of the river and which side of the county line you are on decides who inspects the hole, though all three sit in the same frost zone. River frontage and the open ground out on the east side are exposed, and that shows up in the wall rather than in the height.

Most of the people who call us from St. Cloud are hospital and clinic buildings, university and school facilities, county and city buildings, manufacturers and distribution frontage, churches, veterans organisations and downtown commercial.
