Bulk Material Delivery in Caledonia, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Caledonia, ND, with bulk loads tipped at your site. Class 5 is the base gravel this part of the state builds drives and pads on.

Caledonia sits in Traill County on the Red River Valley lake plain, where deep silt and clay hold snowmelt and summer rain instead of letting it run off. That ground shapes what you need under a drive or a shed.

Materials for Caledonia Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for on flat clay ground. Around Caledonia, washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs carry roof and yard water away from foundations and garage slabs.

Here are the sizes that do that work, with the other bulk materials you may need alongside them.

Coarse drainage stone

Washed Rock, also called 1 inch washed rock or clean rock, is washed free of fines so water moves through it. Use it in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean stone for drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. Riprap is the heavy option, graded Grade I, II and III here, for armoring banks and culvert outlets against spring runoff.

Fine drainage and bedding stone

3/8" Crushed Stone is a small clean stone for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base. It is also a common choice for drywells and downspout runs where a coarse stone is more than the job needs.

Stone Screenings, also called crusher fines, are the fine end of the range. They bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a firm walking surface.

Base gravel, soil and sand

Class 5 is the standard base gravel for driveways, parking pads and shop bases. Class 13 is a binding, blade-friendly surfacing gravel for an approach or lane that wants a top course rather than a full base.

Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, dresses lawns and repairs grade. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork, and Mason Sand handles block work and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Caledonia

The working season on the Red River Valley lake plain 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.

Time a base, driveway or paver delivery for the open season.

Winters here are long and the ground frost goes deep. That hard thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads, which is why a driveway that looked flat in October can rut by April.

A compacted Class 5 base laid in the open season holds up better than a thin layer of gravel over clay.

With almost no fall across the valley floor, water sits on yards and field approaches rather than running off. A drainage layer of washed rock moves it away from a foundation, a drywell or a downspout run.

On bare clay, spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and ruts ground that carries no cover. Riprap armors a coulee bank or culvert outlet where moving water cuts.
