Fill and Base Material Delivered in Grand Forks, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grand Forks, ND, including Class 5 for drives, parking pads and shop bases. Class 5 is the standard base gravel here.

This city sits on the Red River Valley lake plain, where deep silt and clay leave very little stone in the ground. Fill and base material has to come in by truck.

Delivery to Grand Forks and the Surrounding Area

You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help you size the load.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. Grand Forks County addresses are covered, including Mekinock, Larimore, Thompson, Northwood and Manvel.

Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile. Plan where you want that pile to sit before the truck reaches the address.

Materials for Grand Forks Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the work this ground asks for. The lake plain soil holds water, so a pad that starts too low stays low.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low ground before a gravel course goes down. Class 5 is the base gravel for driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

For a driveway or approach, Class 13 surfaces a lane where a binding, blade-friendly gravel is wanted. Driveway Gravel tops up an existing lane or yard that has thinned out.

For drainage, Washed Rock fills drain tile beds, sump discharge runs and foundation drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone works for bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a walking surface. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Grand Forks

The Red River Valley lake plain is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz. Deep silt and clay sit under the city with very little stone in them, and sand and gravel beach ridges mark the old shorelines along the western edge.

That clay sheds water slowly, and the valley floor has almost no fall. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

An under-built base shows it fast here. Water that cannot drain away softens the ground under a drive, and the surface ruts and breaks up.

Winters are long and the ground 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 flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours the meandering channels and sheets across bare clay ground. Riprap armors culvert outlets and banks against that runoff.

What is the best base under pavers in Grand Forks?

Class 5 is the base gravel for a paver area here, because the lake plain clay below it needs a compacted course over the top. Stone Screenings then bed the pavers and fill the joints.

On ground that stays wet, Washed Rock in a drainage layer below the base helps move water away.
