Materials delivered in Cavalier County
Lead with the job. A driveway takes Class 5 as its base.
A patio takes stone screenings under the pavers.
Section 816, Table 816-01 sets its gradation, and Section 302 names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate.
Cities and counties write that class number into their own street specifications.
Class 13 is the surfacing class. It goes on an approach or a lane where a binding gravel is wanted rather than a full base course.
Ground conditions across Cavalier County
This is Drift Prairie ground. Rolling glacial till carries stone and boulders through it, and bands of sand and gravel sit in the old meltwater channels.
Sloughs and pothole wetlands hold snowmelt on the flats. Till with a tight subsoil drains slowly, so water sits where a base is under-built.
Runoff that does move concentrates in the deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees. That cuts gullies and scours banks after thaw and heavy rain.
Frost runs about 4 to 5 feet deep across the Drift Prairie, set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table. Winter stops compaction, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Order before the ground freezes and plan around the thaw.
Choosing the right material
Ramsey County and Towner County share this ground. Both sit on rolling glacial till around a closed basin, with lake silt, clay and salt-affected shoreline ground.
The base choice there follows the same reasoning as here.
Walsh County differs. It is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz, deep silt and clay with very little stone in it.
Base material there has to be hauled in rather than dug nearby, and drainage has nowhere to go in that tight soil.
Sand and gravel beach ridges mark the old shorelines along the western edge of that lake plain. On this side, the sand and gravel bands sit in the meltwater channels instead.
When is the best time of year to order base material in Cavalier County?
Order 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.
Working in that window lets a base go down on ground that will compact. Plan the order before the ground freezes so the material is on site when the season opens.
What is the difference between topsoil and fill dirt?
Topsoil is screened black dirt for lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Fill dirt is for raising grade, filling low ground and backfilling before a gravel course goes down.
Fill carries no promise of growing anything. Put fill in first to build the elevation, then cap it with black dirt where you want grass or beds.
What is Class 5 and what is it used for in Cavalier County?
Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. Section 816, Table 816-01 sets its gradation, and Section 302 names it as the traffic service aggregate.
Cities and counties here write that class number into their own street specifications. Use Class 5 under driveways, parking pads, and shop and shed bases.
