Order Class 5 and Crushed Stone in Cass County, ND
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Cass County, ND online. North Dakota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.
Start with Class 5, the standard North Dakota base gravel. Class 5 gravel is crushed gravel base for drives, parking pads and shop floors.
Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the ground is deep silt and clay with very little stone in it.
Ground Conditions Across Cass County
The valley floor has almost no fall, and lake clay sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.
A thin base shows it first. Saturated clay holds water under the stone, the surface ruts and potholes, and the grade works loose.
Class 5 gravel gives you a graded, compacted base over that clay. Class 13 gravel gives you a binding surface course instead.
Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and sheets across bare clay ground. Riprap armors coulee and river banks against that.
Long, severe winters drive deep ground frost, and the spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives and township roads. The City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches; other jurisdictions publish their own figure.
Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Choosing the Right Material
Barnes, Ransom and Steele County all sit on the Drift Prairie. That ground is rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through it, washboard moraine and ice-thrust hills.
Cass County is not that. The Red River Valley lake plain is flat lake clay with very little stone in it, and the water sits instead of draining.
On till, a base course sits on ground that already sheds water and carries stone. On lake clay, the base has to bridge soft ground, so Class 5 does the work a thinner course would not.
Drainage materials matter more here for the same reason. Washed rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone move water that has nowhere to go on flat clay.
Can I order material for a commercial or contractor job?
Yes. Order online the same way for a commercial or contractor job as for a residential one, by the ton or by the yard.

When is the best time of year to order base material in Cass 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 firmed up and the restrictions are lifted, then work before the ground freezes again.
What is the difference between topsoil and fill dirt?
Topsoil, which yards here call black dirt, is screened soil for lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Fill dirt is unscreened material for raising grade, filling low ground and backfilling before a gravel course goes down.
Use fill dirt to build the grade up, then topsoil to finish the surface you plant into.
