Class 5, Gravel and Stone Delivered Across North Dakota

North Dakota Rock Supply handles bulk gravel and aggregate delivery across North Dakota, ordered online by the ton or by the yard. Sizing a load starts with the calculator on each product page.

Class 5 is the base gravel this state builds on, and it is the first thing to line up for a drive, a parking pad or a shop floor. Around here the ground under it decides how the job goes.

Snowmelt is the main event statewide. Flat clay ground in the Red River Valley and closed potholes on the prairie hold water instead of shedding it, so a yard can sit wet well past the thaw.

Materials Delivered Across North Dakota

Material is sold by local name. Class 5 and Class 13 are how base and surfacing gravel are ordered here.

Class 5 is crushed gravel base, and it takes the traffic load on a drive, a yard or a pad.

Class 13 is a binding, blade friendly surfacing gravel rather than a full base course. Order it to surface an approach, a lane or a gravel drive.

Scoria is the red burned lignite clinker from the west of the state, and it is the material North Dakotans picture for red paths and lanes. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a walking surface.

Washed rock goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. Pea rock covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

River Rock works in decorative beds, borders and rock mulch, which holds up better than bark in North Dakota wind. Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and shelterbelt edging.

On the soil side, black dirt handles lawns and grade repair, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and shelterbelt planting pockets. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a gravel course goes down.

Crushed rock is sold by inch size first. The numbered sizes like #57 Stone and #67 Stone are called for by number on plans more often than over the counter here.

Ground and Climate Across North Dakota

The state runs in steps from east to west, and each step changes what a base or a drainage job needs. The working season follows the same pattern: from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, shorter on the Turtle Mountains and in the northwest.

The Red River Valley lake plain 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.

The Drift Prairie is rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through it, plus bands of sand and gravel in old meltwater channels. The Devils Lake Basin is rolling till around a closed basin that has no natural outlet, with salt affected ground on shorelines that have moved a long way.

The Souris Basin is the flat bed of glacial Lake Souris, with clay and silt near the middle and wind blown delta sand over much of the southern half. The Turtle Mountains are a wooded upland of stony till on the rises and peaty ground in the hollows.

The Missouri Coteau is hummocky stagnation moraine, stony and uneven, with prairie potholes by the thousand. West of there, the Missouri Slope sits on soft Fort Union sandstone, siltstone, claystone and lignite under a thin soil cover.

The Little Missouri Badlands are cut into buttes and short steep ridges, with bands of hard red clinker where lignite seams burned. Runoff west of the Missouri is fast and flashy down the draws, and spring flooding and bank scour work on the Red, the Souris, the Sheyenne and the James.

Frost goes deep across North Dakota. The state building code does not publish a single statewide frost depth; each city or county fills in its own figure, commonly about 4 to 5 feet, and the City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches.

Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out, so a delivery date picked at checkout can land ahead of the rush.
