Around the Devils Lake Basin, ground stays wet and heavy, so what you put under a path matters as much as what you put on top.

Ground and Conditions in Hampden

This part of the state sits in a closed basin with no natural outlet at normal lake levels. Runoff collects instead of draining away, and the wet cycle that began in 1993 raised the lake more than 26 feet, flooding roads, approaches and farmland.

Under that, the ground is rolling glacial till, with lake silt and clay and salt-affected ground on shorelines that have shifted a long way in living memory. A thin layer of fines over that ground shows the failure fast.

The surface ruts, pumps and breaks apart at the edges.

A path or walkway built on that needs a compacted base under it and a drainage layer that moves water off the surface. Raise the grade first where the ground sits low, then build up from there.

Winters here are long and the ground frost runs deep. 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, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Materials for Hampden Projects

Fines and screenings do the detail work on paths and walkways. Start with the base.

Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It builds driveways, parking pads and shop and shed bases.

Surfacing an approach, lane or gravel drive calls for a binding, blade-friendly material rather than a full base course. Class 13 is that surface gravel.

For the walking surface itself, stone screenings pack tight into a firm path and bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Screenings hold their shape where loose stone would scatter underfoot.

Red surfacing is its own look. scoria, the burned lignite clinker from the west of the state, covers paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Clean stone handles water. washed rock goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains.

3/8 inch natural pea gravel, pea rock to local yards, suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

Questions About Ordering

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for a truck to pull in and tip the load. The material lands in one pile, so leave space for it.

Nothing needs to be marked for the driver, and no one needs to be on hand to direct the drop.

What is the best base under pavers in Hampden?

Class 5 is the standard base gravel here, and it compacts into a firm course over the local till and clay. Stone screenings bed the pavers on top and fill the joints.

That combination holds up through the spring thaw, when ground frost heaves and softens a thinner build.
