Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Drake, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Drake, ND for contractors and homeowners alike. Class 5 is the base gravel this part of North Dakota builds drives, parking pads and shop floors on.

Some orders are a full lane rebuild. Others are a few loads to firm up ground that has gone soft.

Both start the same way: pick the material, size the load, and set a delivery date.

Materials for Drake Projects

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It goes down as a compacted base under driveways, parking pads and shed floors.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive. It binds and blades well where you want a finished surface rather than a full base course.

Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state. It surfaces paths, yards, lanes and parking areas, and it holds its color.

Washed rock is clean stone for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. Pea rock, sold here as 3/8 inch natural pea gravel, suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

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

Ground and Conditions in Drake

Drake sits in McHenry County, on the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain. Across this part of the state the old lake bed runs from clay and silt near the middle to wave-washed till around the rim, with wind-blown delta sand over much of the southern half.

Snowmelt comes down from the north onto flat, slow-draining ground. Low spots take water first, so a base that stays put matters more than a thick surface layer.

Wind moves the sandy ground, and bare clay sheds sheet wash in a hard rain. A drive cut into either one needs a base that holds its shape once the frost leaves.

Winters here are long and frost goes deep, then the spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the thaw into late fall.

Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.
