Scoria and Bulk Aggregates for Reynolds, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Reynolds, ND, and the ground here shapes what you need. Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the soil is deep silt and clay with very little stone in it, so a drive or pad base has to be hauled in and built up.

Class 5 is the base gravel this part of North Dakota is specified around, and it is where most Reynolds ground work starts. From there you pick a washed stone for water, a sand or soil for finish work, and a load size by the ton or yard.

Materials for Reynolds Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for on a Reynolds lot. The lake clay sheds snowmelt and rain slowly, so a yard, drive or field approach can hold water long after the storm passes.

Washed stone is the material that moves that water instead of holding it.

Washed Rock, sold as 1 inch washed rock or clean rock, is the standard for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. The stone is washed, so the voids between pieces stay open and water passes through rather than pooling.

Where you need a drywell or a French drain, the same clean stone does the work. It gives water somewhere to sit while it soaks away, which matters on ground that drains as slowly as this clay does.

For coarser drainage and heavier ground, 3/4" Crushed Stone suits bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. #57 Stone is a washed size called for by number on drainage and concrete plans.

Under all of that sits the base course.

It binds and compacts into a firm surface.

Where you want a binding, blade-friendly surface layer instead of a full base, Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive. It is the finish course, not the base under it.

For a red surface on paths, yards, lanes and parking areas, Scoria is the burned lignite clinker from the west of the state. It is the material North Dakotans picture when they say scoria, and it holds color and shape well.

Smaller and finer grades cover the rest. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which yards here call pea rock, suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a walking surface.

Soil and sand finish the job. Top Soil, called black dirt locally, covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork, and Mason Sand goes into block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Ground and Conditions in Reynolds

Timing a delivery here comes down to the working 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.

Winters on the Red River Valley lake plain are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. That cycle is why a base course has to be built up rather than scraped in.

The valley floor also has almost no fall, and the lake clay sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off, which is the reason a drainage layer belongs under the surface on ground like this.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours meandering banks, and bare clay ground takes sheet wash and ruts.

Riprap armors culvert outlets and shorelines against that, and clean stone handles the water that reaches your lot.
