Class 5, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Divide County, ND
What do you order for a drive that keeps going soft between the hills? North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Divide County, ND, and Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from.
This is Missouri Coteau ground: stony, uneven till with potholes by the thousand, where snowmelt collects in closed low spots and no stream carries it away. The material you put down has to work with that, not against it.
Ground Conditions Across Divide 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.
Across the Missouri Coteau, soil is hummocky stagnation moraine left where stagnant glacier ice melted out on the upland. You get stony, uneven till, with pockets of sand and gravel in kames and eskers.
Drainage here is unintegrated. Sloughs and potholes are not connected, so snowmelt and rain collect in closed low spots and drives between the hills stay soft.
Erosion follows the same pattern: gully cutting on steep flanks, wind erosion on exposed hilltops, and slumping where saturated till sits on shale. Riprap and gravel surfacing both answer that.
Winters are long and severe with deep ground frost, then a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads.
Materials Delivered in Divide County
Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. Section 816, Table 816-01 sets its gradation, and Section 302 names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate.
Those class numbers are how material is described and ordered here, and cities and counties write them into their own street specifications. Class 5 goes under driveways, parking pads, and shop and shed bases.
Choosing the Right Material
Williams County sits on the Missouri Slope, over soft Fort Union sandstone, siltstone, claystone and lignite under thin soil cover. There is swelling clay in places and only patchy glacial material.
That is a different ground from Divide County's stony till, so drainage behaves differently there. Where swelling clay holds water, a clean drainage stone matters more than a fines-bearing base.
Burke County shares this ground region. Its soil is the same hummocky stagnation moraine till, so the base and drainage choices run the same way.
On Divide County till, start with Class 5 for the base and finish with Class 13 where you want a binding surface. Scoria covers paths and lanes that see foot traffic and light vehicles.
For water, washed rock handles drain tile beds and downspout runs, while 3/4 inch crushed rock suits pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. Riprap holds banks where runoff cuts.
