Bulk Material Delivery in Michigan, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Michigan, ND straight to your site. Snowmelt sits on the flats here, and till with a tight subsoil drains slowly, so water has to be led away on purpose.

Start with washed rock for the wet spots, then build the drive on Class 5. The pages below cover the sizes and the soil work that go with them.

Materials for Michigan Projects

Water is the first problem on most lots around Michigan. Washed rock moves it.

Class 5 carries the load on top. Work from the coarse stone down to the fines.

Washed rock, also called 1 inch washed rock or drain rock, is clean stone with no fines. It goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge lines, downspout runs and foundation drains, where water has to pass through instead of pooling against the wall.

For heavier drainage, washed rock handles a French drain or a drywell. A drywell works as a pit packed with open stone so roof and yard water can soak away instead of running across the yard.

Below that size, 3/4" Crushed Stone covers bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone takes fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course.

Class 5 is the standard base gravel for this part of North Dakota. Use it for driveways, parking pads, and shop or shed bases.

Order it at Class 5.

Class 13 surfacing gravel binds and blades well. It suits an approach, a lane or a gravel drive that wants a wearing surface rather than a full base course.

Order it at Class 13.

Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state. It surfaces paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Scoria holds color and sheds water. Pea rock, also called Natural Pea Gravel, fills walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding at 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel.

Screenings and sand finish the job. Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a walking surface.

Washed sand beds and levels flatwork. Black dirt, the local name for screened topsoil, repairs grade and preps beds.

Ground and Conditions in Michigan

Plan the work around the season. 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.

Soils across the Drift Prairie are rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through them. The flats hold snowmelt in sloughs and pothole wetlands.

Subsoil is tight, so it drains slowly.

Water that does move concentrates into deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees. That is where gully cutting starts, and where bank scour shows up after thaw and heavy rain.

Open, bare ground also loses soil to wind.

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. Any frost depth used for footings is set by the city or county, not by a statewide table.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Michigan?

Class 5 is the base gravel for a driveway here. It is the standard North Dakota base, and it suits driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

Finish with Class 13 surfacing gravel if you want a binding, blade-friendly wearing course. Ordering both means the base goes down first, then the surface on top.
