Black Dirt and Bulk Aggregates for Inkster, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Inkster, ND, and the ground here shapes what you need before anything else. This is Red River Valley lake plain ground, deep silt and clay with almost no stone in it.

Class 5 is the base gravel to start with for drives, parking pads and shop floors. Because the native soil sheds water slowly, the base is what keeps a pad from pumping and rutting.

Materials for Inkster Projects

Wet ground starts at the roof and at the footing drain, so washed stone is where a lot of work here begins. Washed Rock, sold as 1 inch washed rock, clean rock or drain rock, is washed free of fines so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.

It goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge lines, downspout runs and foundation drains. A drywell packed with clean washed rock gives roof water somewhere to go besides the lawn.

From there the sizes coarsen up or fine down, and each one is built for a different job.

• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.
• #57 Stone for drainage, French drains and concrete aggregate, called for by number on plans more often than over the counter.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, pea rock locally, for walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.
• Stone Screenings, or crusher fines, for paver and flagstone bedding, joint fill and a packed walking surface.

Base and surfacing gravel carry the drives. Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel, a binding, blade-friendly material for an approach, lane or gravel drive where a full base course is not the goal. Driveway Gravel tops up a lane or yard that has thinned out.

For yards and beds, Top Soil is sold as screened black dirt and used for lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low ground before a gravel course goes down over it.

Delivery to Inkster and the Surrounding Area

Inkster sits in Grand Forks County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area, including Grand Forks, Mekinock, Larimore, Thompson and Northwood. You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Quantity is chosen by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load from your own numbers. A dump truck then tips the material in one pile on site.

Ordering early matters here. Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out, and frozen ground through the winter stops compaction work on drives and pads.

Ground and Conditions in Inkster

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. That window sets when a delivery makes sense, because the material has to be spread and compacted while the ground is still workable.

Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the valley 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.

A gravel pad built on clay needs the water handled before the surface goes down.

Long, severe winters drive deep ground frost and then a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives and township roads. That heaving is why a drive that looked fine in October can be rutted by April, and why the drainage layer under it matters as much as the surface.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and channels, and bare clay ground takes sheet wash and rutting. Riprap armors culvert outlets and banks against that runoff, and clean washed stone keeps footing drains flowing when the ground is saturated.
