Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across McHenry County, ND
Planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run in McHenry County? North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in McHenry County, ND to the job.
Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from here.
Across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain the ground runs from clay and silt to sandy lake plain, so what sits under your gravel matters as much as the gravel.
Materials Delivered in McHenry County
Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. Section 302 names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate, and cities and counties write that class number into their own street specs.
Order Class 5 for driveways, parking pads, and shop or shed bases. It is specified locally as Class 5, and it is the material the rest of a build sits on.
Class 13 is the surfacing gravel, a binding, blade-friendly material for an approach or lane. Use Class 13 where you want a gravel surface rather than a full base course.
Choosing the Right Material
McHenry County sits on the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain: clay and silt near the middle of the old lake bed, wave-washed till around the rim, and wind-blown delta sand over much of the old lake plain.
Bottineau County spans more than one ground region, so part of it shares this lake plain, and it also takes in the Turtle Mountains. Where the ground is the same lake plain, the same base reasoning holds.
McLean and Sheridan counties sit on the Missouri Coteau, a hummocky stagnation moraine of stony, uneven till with sand and gravel pockets in kames and eskers. That ground is stonier and more uneven than the level lake plain.
On stony, uneven till a base has to bridge over bumps rather than sit on a flat grade. On the clay and silt of the lake plain, the work is keeping water from sitting under the gravel.
Pick the material from the job: base course for drives and pads, surfacing gravel for lanes, clean washed stone for drains, and riprap where banks take runoff.
Ground Conditions Across McHenry County
A thin base over clay and silt shows up as ruts and soft spots after the spring thaw. The ground holds water, and the gravel on top takes the traffic.
Low ground along the Souris and Des Lacs valleys and in the sand country takes water first. A drainage layer of clean washed stone belongs under those spots, not a fines-bearing base.
Wind erosion and blowouts work on the sandy lake plain, and bank scour along the Souris and Des Lacs eats at bare banks. Riprap armors those banks through spring runoff.
Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county, not by a statewide table.
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.

Questions About Gravel and Delivery in McHenry County
How deep should a gravel driveway base be in McHenry County?
Depth depends on your ground and how the drive drains. Clay and silt hold water, and the sandy lake plain drains faster, so the two need different base thicknesses.
North Dakota frost heaves and softens drives through the spring thaw, which is the other thing to weigh. Use the calculator on the product page to size your Class 5 order.
