Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Berthold, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Berthold, ND, and the ground here asks for the right material, not just any load. This is flat lake plain country, clay and silt near the middle and sand over much of the south end.

Start with Class 5 for a drive, pad or shop base. Each product page has a calculator, and you order by the ton or by the yard.

Materials for Berthold Projects

Water moving off flat ground has to go somewhere, and where it drops or cuts, coarse stone does the holding. Start with the biggest rock and work down to the fines.

Riprap is the heavy end. Grade II riprap is the size for armoring a coulee bank, a culvert outlet or a dam face against spring runoff and wave action.

Large River Rock works the same ground at a smaller scale. Use it for dry creek beds, shelterbelt edging and heavier decorative or erosion work around a yard.

Railroad Ballast is coarse, open rock for hard standing, elevator and rail sidings, and severe drainage where water needs to move fast.

Washed Rock is the clean 1 inch stone. It goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains, and it carries no fines to slow water down.

3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone handles finer drainage and pipe bedding.

Below the coarse work, Class 5 gravel, also called Class 5 aggregate base, is the standard North Dakota base gravel for driveways and pads.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive where a binding, blade-friendly material is wanted. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Delivery to Berthold and the Surrounding Area

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

Berthold sits in Ward County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area, including Minot, Surrey, Burlington, Kenmare and Sawyer. If you are outside the town limits, the same coverage applies as long as the site takes a truck.

Have the pile spot clear before the truck arrives. Stone, sand and black dirt all arrive the same way, tipped in one place where the driver can reach it.

Ground and Conditions in Berthold

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain, the ground is the flat bed of an old glacial lake. Clay and silt sit near the middle, wave-washed till rings the rim, and wind-blown delta sand covers much of the southern half.

That mix decides where water goes. Low ground in the sand country and along the valleys takes water first, and bare clay sheds it in sheets.

Wind erosion and blowouts are a real problem on the sandy end of the old lake bed, and bank scour works on coulees during runoff. Coarse stone on those slopes and outlets is what keeps the edge where you put it.

Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw that heaves gravel drives and approaches. Frost depth runs about 4 to 5 feet and is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Berthold

What stone should I use for drainage in Berthold?

For drain tile beds, sump discharge and foundation drains, use washed rock, the clean 1 inch stone with no fines. For heavier drainage on a pad or trench bottom, 3/4 inch crushed stone or #4 crushed stone works.

Washed sand beds slabs and flatwork. Match the size to the opening water has to pass through.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The driver tips the load in one place and does not spread it, so pick a spot you can work from with a machine or a shovel.

Keep the approach open enough for a dump truck, and have your order details handy so the load goes where you planned.
