Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Minot, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Minot, ND for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and approaches, and homeowners topping up a lane or fixing a yard. Class 5 is the base gravel this market builds on.

Minot sits on the old Lake Souris plain, where clay and silt ground holds water and softens after the spring thaw. That ground decides what goes under a drive as much as what goes on top.

Materials for Minot Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Minot project starts. Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard North Dakota base gravel.

It builds driveways, parking pads and shop and shed bases. Order it at Class 5.

Class 13, or Class 13 aggregate surfacing, is a binding, blade-friendly surface gravel. Use it to surface an approach or lane where you want a gravel top rather than a full base course.

It is sold at Class 13.

Road gravel, also called driveway gravel, tops up an existing lane, approach or yard that has thinned out. It is a topping material, not a rebuild.

See Driveway Gravel.

For water, washed rock (1 inch washed rock, clean rock or drain rock) goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. It stays open so water moves through.

It is sold at Washed Rock.

3/4 inch crushed rock handles drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. 3/8 inch crushed rock works for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base.

Both are crushed, angular stone.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason sand beds block and brick work and paver joints, washed sand beds and levels flatwork, and black dirt covers lawns and grade repair.

Scoria, the red burned-lignite clinker, surfaces paths, yards and lanes.

Ground and Conditions in Minot

Water drives the ground here. The Souris and Des Lacs valleys bring snowmelt down from the north onto flat, slow-draining lake plain, and low ground along the valleys and in the sand country takes water first.

Across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain, the old lake bed runs to clay and silt near the middle, wave-washed till around the rim, and wind-blown delta sand over much of the southern half. Clay holds water and softens.

Sand drains but blows.

That is why a drive on clay ground needs a base course that separates the surface from the soft layer underneath, while a drive on sand needs a surface that knits together. Class 5 does the first job.

Class 13 surfaces the second.

Erosion follows the same split. Wind scours blowouts on the sandy south end of the old lake bed, banks scour along the Souris and Des Lacs, and bare clay sheds sheet wash.

Riprap, graded Grade I, II and III, armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and reservoir shoreline against spring runoff and wave action.

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.

Plan the work around that window.

Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table, so check with the local building official before you set footings.
