Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Garrison, ND

If you are planning a path, a walkway or a pad for gravel and aggregate delivery in Garrison, ND, North Dakota Rock Supply can help you pick the right material. Class 5 is the base most drives and pads start from here.

This part of the Missouri Coteau is hummocky, stony till with pockets of sand and gravel, so ground can shift from firm to soft in a few feet.

Ground and Conditions in Garrison

Across the Missouri Coteau, drainage is unintegrated. The sloughs and potholes are not connected, and no stream runs through much of the area.

Snowmelt and rain collect in closed low spots. Drives between the hills stay soft long after the rest of the yard has firmed up.

A thin gravel layer over that ground shows the problem fast. The stone disappears into the soft till and ruts form along the wheel tracks.

The fix is more base material, not more surfacing on top. A deeper course of Class 5 spreads the load over ground that cannot carry it alone.

Gully cutting happens on the steep flank of the Missouri Escarpment, and wind scours exposed hilltops. Saturated till also slumps where it sits on shale.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out. Plan your delivery around that window rather than against it.

Materials for Garrison Projects

Stone screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways. Screenings, also called crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a firm walking surface.

Use Stone Screenings for paver bedding, joint fill and a packed path where you want a tight, smooth finish underfoot.

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It is a compacted base for driveways, parking pads and shop or shed bases.

Order Class 5 when you are building up a path or pad from bare ground. Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach, lane or drive.

Class 13, also called Class 13 gravel or surface gravel, is a binding, blade-friendly material. Use Class 13 over a base course rather than as the base itself.

Pea rock, or 3/8 inch pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and dog runs. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded stone, so it stays loose underfoot.

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

For drainage under a path or along a foundation, washed rock is the clean open stone that lets water move. Washed Rock works in drain tile beds and downspout runs.
