Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Hillsboro, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Hillsboro, ND to your driveway, pad or approach. Class 5 is the standard base gravel here.

Hillsboro sits on the Red River Valley lake plain, where deep silt and clay leave little stone in the ground. That is why base material has to come in by truck.

Delivery to Hillsboro and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want help sizing the load, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the address you give. The driver does not spread it, so plan where you want that pile to land before the truck arrives.

North Dakota Rock Supply delivers across Traill County, including Mayville, Hatton, Portland, Buxton and Caledonia. Say where the site is at checkout and the truck comes to that address.

Materials for Hillsboro Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for. The lake plain sits flat and sheds water slowly, so a pad that starts low stays low.

Fill goes down first, then a compacted base course on top of it.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground and backfills ahead of a gravel course. It is the first load on a new pad or a yard that holds water.

Class 5 is the base course itself. It goes under driveways, parking pads and shop or shed floors.

For surfacing rather than base, Class 13 is a binding, blade-friendly gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive. It is also called Class 13 aggregate surfacing.

Where a yard, path or lane wants red color, Scoria is the burned lignite clinker from the west of the state. North Dakotans picture this material when they say scoria.

Drainage around a building takes clean stone. Washed Rock goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains.

Ground and Conditions in Hillsboro

The ground here is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz: deep silt and clay with very little stone in it. Sand and gravel beach ridges mark the old shorelines along the western edge of the valley.

Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the floor has almost no fall and the lake clay sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That is what an under-built base does here. Water that cannot drain away softens the subgrade, and a thin gravel course over soft clay ruts and pumps.

Fill and a proper base course carry the load instead.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and ruts bare clay ground. Riprap armors culvert outlets and shoreline, and clean stone gives water somewhere to go.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. 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 and a hard spring thaw that heaves gravel drives and approaches. The City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches, and other jurisdictions publish their own figure.

Questions About Ordering in Hillsboro

What is the best base under pavers in Hillsboro?

Start with Class 5 as the compacted base course, then bed the pavers in stone screenings. Screenings, also called crusher fines, pack into a firm surface for paver and flagstone bedding and joint fill.

On this clay ground, the base course is what keeps the pavers from moving when the soil stays wet.

Do you supply contractors working in Hillsboro?
