Mekinock sits on the Red River Valley lake plain, where the ground is deep silt and clay with very little stone in it. That shapes what you order and how you build on it.

Ground and Conditions in Mekinock

Start with the failure a thin base shows here. On lake clay, a patio or walkway laid over too little base rock moves, dips and rocks underfoot within a season or two.

The clay floor of the valley has almost no fall, and it sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

Water trapped under a slab or a paver field has nowhere to go. That is why bedding and drainage matter more here than the surface material itself.

Winters are long and frost goes deep. The spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads across this part of the state.

Compaction stops while the ground is frozen, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the thaw into late fall.

Grand Forks County sets its own footing figure, so check locally before you pour. Frost depth is a footing question, not a reason to dig a gravel base deeper.

Materials for Mekinock Projects

Bedding is where a patio or flatwork project succeeds or fails. The material under the pavers carries the load and moves water away from the clay below.

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It builds driveways, parking pads and shop and shed bases, and it is the compacted course that goes under a paver field.

Order Class 5 for the base.

Stone screenings, also called crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a firm walking surface. Use Stone Screenings as the setting layer over compacted base.

Washed sand, or concrete sand, beds and levels material under slabs and flatwork. Washed Sand gives you a clean, even layer to set on.

Mason sand works for block and brick, paver joints and sandboxes. Reach for Mason Sand on masonry and joint work.

Washed rock, also called 1 inch washed rock or drain rock, goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. Washed Rock keeps water moving where the clay will not.

For a gravel surface rather than a base, Class 13 gives you a binding, blade-friendly material for an approach or lane. Class 13 is the surfacing choice.
