Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Gardner, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gardner, ND, with bulk loads of Class 5, crushed stone, sand, black dirt and fill. Everything is ordered online and tipped on your site.

Gardner sits on the Red River Valley lake plain, where the ground is deep silt and clay with almost no stone in it. That is why a yard, drive or garden bed here almost always starts with material brought in from off site.

Materials for Gardner Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most properties here, and that work runs on soil and fill rather than stone. Fill dirt raises low ground and backfills ahead of a gravel course.

Screened black dirt finishes grade and gives a lawn something to root into after the clay has been worked.

Garden soil mixes organic matter into raised beds, shelterbelt planting pockets and vegetable gardens. It holds moisture through a dry, windy summer far better than the native clay does.

When the soil work is done, the base and surfacing materials take over. Class 5 is the standard base gravel for drives, parking pads and shop floors.

Class 13 surfaces an approach or lane where a binding, blade-friendly gravel is wanted instead of a full base course. Road gravel tops up an existing drive that has thinned out.

Washed rock and 3/4 inch crushed rock handle water. Washed rock goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge lines and downspout runs.

Pea rock suits walkways, dog runs and play areas, and masonry sand beds block, brick and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Gardner

Water is the first thing to plan around across the Red River Valley lake plain. The valley floor has almost no fall and the lake clay sheds water slowly, so snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That standing water is what softens a gravel drive and ruts bare clay ground. A drainage layer of washed rock under a sump line or downspout run gives that water somewhere to go before it pools.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours meandering banks, and sheet wash cuts across bare clay.

Riprap arms culvert outlets and bank faces against that push. Riprap is graded Grade I, II and III here rather than classed.

Timing matters too. 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. Long winters drive deep ground frost, and the hard thaw that follows heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads.
