Scoria Delivery for Antler, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Antler, ND, and the first thing to settle is the quantity. Each product page carries a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

Class 5 is the base this ground wants, and the flat, slow-draining lake plain around Antler is the reason. Fill and sub-base come first, then the surface material over the top.

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site.

Antler sits in Bottineau County, and delivery covers the county, including Bottineau, Westhope, Lansford, Maxbass and Willow City. Farm yards, shop pads and township approaches all take the same bulk drop.

Plan for the season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of spring thaw into late fall, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Materials for Antler Projects

Fill and sub-base do the heavy work here. When a pad has to come up to grade, fill dirt goes in first and the gravel course follows on top of it.

• Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground and backfills before a gravel course goes down.
• Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel, used for driveways, parking pads and shop and shed bases.
• Class 13 surfaces an approach, lane or gravel drive where a binding, blade-friendly gravel is wanted.
• Scoria is red surfacing for paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.
• Black dirt covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep once the base is finished.

For a driveway, lead with Class 5 and top it with Class 13. For a drain, washed rock and 3/4 inch crushed rock both move water and hold an open void.

Around a house, washed rock goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge and downspout runs. 3/4 inch crushed rock handles bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

For a patio, start with a compacted base and bed the pavers. Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints, and washed sand levels under slabs and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Antler

This is the bed of glacial Lake Souris, flat to gently sloping, with clay and silt through the middle and wave-washed till around the rim. Wind-blown delta sand covers much of the southern half of the old lake plain.

Clay and silt hold water, so low ground takes it first and stays soft. An under-built base on ground like that pumps and ruts long before the surface wears out.

Wind erosion and blowouts work the sandy ground, and sheet wash moves bare clay. Riprap armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and reservoir shoreline against spring runoff and wave action.

Winters are long and the ground frost runs deep, then the thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Base work belongs in the open season, not on frozen ground.
