Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Park River, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Park River, ND for two kinds of buyers: contractors building pads and lanes, and homeowners fixing a yard that has settled or gone bare. Most of that work starts with Class 5.

Just as often the job is soil, not stone. Black dirt, garden soil and fill dirt are what make a lawn grow back and a low corner stop holding water.

Materials for Park River Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, so that is where the soil family does its work.

Top Soil, which yards around here call black dirt or screened black dirt, is for lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Garden Soil goes into raised beds and shelterbelt planting pockets where you want something richer than the native ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground and backfills before a gravel course goes down. On clay ground that holds meltwater, fill is what lifts a yard or pad out of the wet zone.

Under the finished surface, Class 5 is the standard base for driveways, parking pads and shop bases. Class 13 is the surfacing choice for an approach, lane or gravel drive where you want a binding, blade-friendly gravel rather than a full base course.

Washed stone and sand finish the picture. Washed Rock runs drain tile beds, sump discharge and downspout runs.

Mason Sand beds block and brick work and fills paver joints, while Washed Sand levels ground under slabs and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Park River

Park River sits in Walsh County on the Red River Valley lake plain. The ground is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz: deep silt and clay with very little stone in it.

That clay is the whole story for water. It sheds slowly, and the valley floor has almost no fall, so snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

Sand and gravel beach ridges mark the old shorelines along the western edge of the plain, and those ridges behave very differently from the clay.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries drives bank scour on the meandering channels, and bare clay ground takes sheet wash and rutting. Riprap armors coulee banks, culvert outlets and shorelines against that runoff.

Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost followed by a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

What stone should I use for drainage in Park River?

It depends on where the water goes. Washed rock handles drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains because it is clean and open.

For a heavier drainage bed or a trench bottom, 3/4 inch crushed rock works well, and #57 stone is the size plans often call for by number. Riprap is the choice for bank and culvert protection.
