Can I order material for a commercial or contractor job?

When is the best time of year to order base material in Burleigh County?

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out. Order once the ground has thawed and dried enough to work.

What is the difference between topsoil and fill dirt?

Black dirt, which is screened topsoil, is for lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Fill dirt is for raising grade, filling low ground and backfilling before a gravel course goes down. Use top soil where something has to grow, and fill dirt where you only need to build up the grade.

Materials Delivered in Burleigh County

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases.

Section 302 covers aggregate base and surface course and names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate, and Section 816, Table 816-01 sets the gradations for Classes 2, 3, 3M, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 13.

Cities and counties write those class numbers into their own street specifications. That is how material is described and ordered here.

Round it out with black dirt for lawns and grade repair, or garden soil for raised beds and shelterbelt planting pockets.

Choosing the Right Material

McLean County, Emmons County and Kidder County all sit on the Missouri Coteau, where stagnant glacier ice left hummocky stagnation moraine. That ground is stony, uneven till with pockets of sand and gravel in kames and eskers, and prairie potholes by the thousand.

Burleigh County sits on the Missouri Slope, where soft Fort Union sandstone, siltstone, claystone and lignite lie under a thin soil cover. Swelling clay shows up in places, glacial material is only patchy, and sand and gravel sit on the Missouri River terraces.

That difference changes the base and drainage choice. Uneven moraine ground needs leveling and a drainage layer before a base course goes down, while terrace sand and gravel drain freely and soft shale and claystone need the water kept off them.

Match the material to the job. Use Class 5 for a compacted base, Class 13 for a binding surface, and washed rock where water has to move.

Ground Conditions Across Burleigh County

Across the Missouri Slope, soft Fort Union sandstone, siltstone, claystone and lignite sit under a thin soil cover. Swelling clay turns up in places, and glacial material is only patchy.

A thin base over that ground shows the failure fast: the edge breaks away and ruts hold water. The fix is a proper base course with drainage under it.

Drainage here is well developed, so water moves fast down the draws and coulees instead of standing. Runoff arrives all at once and cuts a drive apart rather than ponding on it.

Gully cutting in soft shale and claystone, slumping on steep cut slopes, and shoreline erosion along the Missouri all point the same way. Arm banks and outlets with riprap.

Long, severe winters bring deep ground frost, then a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.
