Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Douglas, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Douglas, ND, and the season sets the schedule. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall.

Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from here, and it is the material to have on hand before anything else goes down.

Materials for Douglas Projects

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It goes under driveways, parking pads, and shop or shed bases, and it is specified on plans by that class number.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive. It is bladed in where a binding, blade-friendly surface is wanted rather than a full base course.

Red scoria is burned lignite clinker, and it is the material North Dakotans picture for paths, yards, lanes and parking areas. It holds its color and it sheds water off the surface.

Washed rock goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. Pea rock covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

On the soil side, black dirt is screened topsoil for lawns, grade repair and bed prep, while fill dirt raises grade and backfills low ground before a gravel course goes down.

Crushed stone is sold by inch size first, and the smaller sizes top a compacted base. Drainage and concrete work also call for stone by number on plans, such as #57 Stone or #67 Stone.

Ground and Conditions in Douglas

This part of the state sits on the flat to gently sloping bed of glacial Lake Souris. Across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain, the ground runs from clay and silt near the middle to wave-washed till around the rim.

Wind-blown delta sand covers much of the southern half of the old lake plain. That mix decides how a base behaves once it is wet.

Snowmelt and rain have nowhere fast to go on a flat, slow-draining lake plain. Low ground takes water first, and a base that holds it will soften under a truck.

Wind erosion and blowouts are a real force on the sandy ground, and bare clay sheds sheet wash. Riprap armors culvert outlets and dam faces against that runoff and wave action.

Winter brings deep ground frost and the spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.
