Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Golden Valley County, ND
Runoff in Golden Valley County comes fast off short, steep slopes, and it cuts gullies where a base was never built to take it. North Dakota Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Golden Valley County, ND, ordered online and tipped at the job site.
Start with Class 5 for drives, pads and shop bases. Add Class 13 for surfacing, scoria for red lanes and paths, and washed rock where water has to leave.
Ground Conditions Across Golden Valley County
Across the Little Missouri Badlands the ground is soft sandstone, siltstone and bentonitic clay of the Fort Union beds, cut into buttes and short ridges. Bands of hard red clinker, called scoria here, run through it where lignite seams burned.
That clay is the problem under a drive. It swells and turns slick when wet, then shrinks and cracks as it dries, so an under-built base moves with it.
Short, steep slopes shed water almost at once. Runoff is flashy, gullies and rills cut quickly on bare ground, and banks keep working where a channel runs.
Work here follows the weather more than the calendar. Wet clay tracks and approaches turn impassable within an hour of rain, and the season closes early.
Winters run long and severe with deep ground frost, then a hard spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Any frost depth is set by the city or county, not by a statewide table.
Materials Delivered in Golden Valley County
Order by what you are building. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different material.
Class 5 carries the most weight in a build here.
Section 302 covers aggregate base and surface course and names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate, and Section 817 covers salvaged base course reclaimed from old asphalt and concrete.
Those class numbers are how material is described and ordered here, and cities and counties write them into their own street specifications. Class 5 is also called Class 5 gravel, Cl 5 or Class 5 aggregate base.
Beyond the base, 3/4 inch crushed rock suits drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.
Mason sand and washed sand handle block work, paver joints and bedding under flatwork.
Choosing the Right Material
Slope County, McKenzie County and Billings County all sit on the same Little Missouri Badlands ground as Golden Valley County. Deeply eroded sandstone, siltstone and bentonitic clay, cut into buttes and short ridges, with the same red scoria bands.
Because the ground matches, the base and drainage choices match too. The same swelling clay sits under a drive, the same flashy runoff crosses it, and the same materials answer both.
Pick by job. A driveway or parking pad takes Class 5 as base with Class 13 over it, or Driveway Gravel to top up a lane that has thinned out.
A patio or walkway takes screenings for bedding and joint fill, or pea rock for a loose surface. A drain takes washed rock or 3/4 inch crushed rock, both clean and open so water passes through.
Where water is cutting a bank, Riprap holds the face. Where the ground is bare and shedding fast, that is slope protection, not a base problem.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?
Crushed stone is angular rock broken to a size, sold by inch size first, from 3/8 inch up through 3/4 inch and larger. It locks together and drains, so it suits bases, drainage and construction entrances.
Pea rock is small rounded stone, used for walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding. Both are sold by the ton or yard.
