Pembina County, ND Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Pembina County, ND. 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.

Ground conditions across Pembina County

Pembina County spans two ground regions, and the water behaves differently in each.

On the Red River Valley lake plain around Cavalier, Drayton, Pembina and Neche, the valley floor has almost no fall. The lake clay sheds water slowly, so snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

In the Drift Prairie around Walhalla and Mountain, sloughs and pothole wetlands hold snowmelt on the flats. Till with a tight subsoil drains slowly, and runoff that does move concentrates into deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks on the meandering channels. Sheet wash and rutting cross bare clay ground.

Wind erosion works open, bare ground, and gully cutting shows in the coulees.

Winters 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 runs about 4 to 5 feet.

The City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches, and other jurisdictions publish their own figure.

That thaw is why base work is timed from the end of it into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Choosing the right material

Cavalier County sits on Drift Prairie ground: rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through it, washboard moraine and ice-thrust hills, and bands of sand and gravel in the old meltwater channels. That is stonier ground than the lake plain, so drainage moves through it rather than sitting on it.

Walsh County sits on Red River Valley lake plain ground, the same deep silt and clay with very little stone in it that covers the Cavalier, Drayton, Pembina and Neche side of Pembina County. The ground is the same there, so the base and drainage reasoning carries over.

On the lake plain, a base course has to carry a drive over clay that holds water. Washed rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone handle drainage where water needs somewhere to go.

Riprap armors banks and culvert outlets against spring runoff.
