Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Hamilton, ND

What do you order for a bank that keeps washing out? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Hamilton, ND, North Dakota Rock Supply carries the coarse stone that answers that question and the Class 5 that builds the drive leading to it.

Hamilton sits on the Red River Valley lake plain, where deep silt and clay hold very little stone of their own.

Materials for Hamilton Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is work for the coarsest stone you can place. Coarse, angular material holds its position where a fine gravel would move with the first runoff.

Coarse stone for banks and channels

Riprap is the armor for a coulee bank, a culvert outlet or a shoreline that takes wave action. It is graded Grade I, II and III, so the grade you order follows the energy of the water it faces.

Railroad Ballast is the heaviest option, for hard standing and severe drainage where water moves fast and the stone has to stay put.

#4 Crushed Stone works at the bottom of a trench and on construction entrances, where its weight keeps it from shifting under load.

Mid-size stone for drainage and pads

Washed Rock, sold as 1 inch washed rock or clean rock, is the stone for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. It is washed, so fine material is not there to seal the voids water needs to travel through.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are called for by number on plans for French drains and concrete work.

Fine stone, sand and soil

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a walking surface. Mason Sand goes into block and brick work, paver joints and sandboxes, and Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork.

Top Soil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt, handles lawns and grade repair. River Rock and Large River Rock cover decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Hamilton

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall here. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out, so the thaw sets the start of the season.

Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the ground is deep silt and clay with little stone in it, and the flat floor sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That standing water is why a drainage layer matters more than a thicker surface course. Long winters drive deep ground frost, and the spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads.

Spring flooding and bank scour along the meandering channels are the reason coarse stone gets placed on slopes and swale edges. Elsewhere, sheet wash and rutting show up on bare clay ground.

Questions Hamilton Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in Hamilton?

Start with washed rock for drain tile beds, sump discharge and foundation drains, since it is clean and lets water move. For heavier trench work, #4 Crushed Stone or railroad ballast holds up under fast water.

Where the drainage runs into a slope or a swale edge, riprap armors the bank against scour.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Decide where the pile goes before the truck reaches your site, because the load is tipped in one place. Clear that spot and make sure the truck can reach it.

Have your quantity settled at checkout on the product page, and know what the material is for so the pile lands where the work is.
