Order Class 5 and Crushed Stone in Richland County, ND
North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Richland County, ND to homeowners, farmers and contractors. Class 5 is the base gravel most drives, parking pads and shop floors start from here.
Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the ground is deep silt and clay with very little stone in it, so almost every project needs material hauled in.
Ground Conditions Across Richland County
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Once the ground freezes, compaction stops until the thaw comes back.
Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost is coming out. Plan a delivery date around that window rather than against it.
The valley floor has almost no fall, and lake clay sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.
That standing water is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface material. Washed rock and Crushed Stone let water move instead of pooling.
Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks on the meandering channels. Bare clay ground also takes sheet wash and rutting.
Riprap is graded Grade I, II and III here. It armors coulee banks, culvert outlets and shoreline against spring runoff and wave action.
Winters are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw that heaves gravel drives, approaches and township roads. The City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches, and other jurisdictions publish their own figure.
Materials Delivered in Richland County
Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. Section 302 names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate, and Section 816, Table 816-01 sets the gradations for the classes.
Cities and counties write those class numbers into their own street specifications. That is how material is described and ordered here.
Class 5 goes under driveways, parking pads, shop and shed bases. It is the base course that carries traffic before a surface goes on.
Choosing the Right Material
Ransom County and Sargent County sit on the Drift Prairie, where rolling glacial till carries stone and boulders, with washboard moraine and ice-thrust hills. Bands of sand and gravel run through the old meltwater channels.
That ground already holds stone, so a base course there works against different material than it does on lake clay. Richland County ground has very little stone in it, so the base has to be hauled in.
Cass County shares the Red River Valley lake plain with Richland County. The ground is the same deep silt and clay with sand and gravel beach ridges along the old shorelines, so the base and drainage choice works out the same way.
On this ground, pick the material by what the water does. Clean stone drains, fines-bearing gravel packs into a base, and riprap holds a bank.
