Materials delivered in Griggs County
Base work, surfacing and drainage each call for a different material. Here is what the yard sells and what each one is for.
Class 5 is the workhorse for anything that carries traffic.
Section 816, Table 816-01 sets the gradations, and cities and counties write those class numbers into their own street specifications.
Beyond base work, the yard carries sand, soil and decorative stone. Mason Sand beds block and brick work and paver joints, Washed Sand beds flatwork and slabs, and Fill Dirt raises grade before a gravel course goes down.
River Rock handles decorative beds and borders, holding up better than bark in North Dakota wind.
Ground conditions across Griggs County
Across the Drift Prairie, the ground is rolling glacial till with stone and boulders worked through it. Washboard moraine and ice-thrust hills make grade changes, and bands of sand and gravel sit in the old meltwater channels.
That mix matters before anything is dumped. A base that goes onto soft, uneven till needs more depth than one on a sand and gravel band, and boulders in the till can push a grade out of line over a season.
Water is the other half of the picture on the Drift Prairie. Sloughs and pothole wetlands hold snowmelt on the flats, and till with a tight subsoil drains slowly, so runoff that does move concentrates into deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees.
That sends two things down the list: drainage under anything that holds water, and slope protection on the coulee banks. Wind erosion on open, bare ground and gully cutting in the coulees both show up, and bank scour follows thaw and heavy rain.
Timing follows the same weather. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction through the winter and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.
Winters here are long and severe with deep ground frost, then a hard thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.
Choosing the right material
Griggs County shares its ground region with Barnes County and Foster County, both on the Drift Prairie. The till, the moraine and the meltwater channel bands are the same, so the base and drainage choices carry straight across.
Stutsman County sits on the same Drift Prairie ground as well.
On all of it, the material call comes down to what the surface has to do: Class 5 for a base that carries traffic, Class 13 for a gravel surface that blades well, washed rock where water has to move, and riprap where a bank has to hold.
Order Class 5 and the rest of the load
Class 5 is the base most of this county is built on, and North Dakota Rock Supply delivers it along with Class 13, washed rock, pea rock, riprap, black dirt and sand.
