Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ross, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ross, ND for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and approaches, and homeowners patching what the thaw tore up. Most of that work starts with Class 5.

Ross sits on the Missouri Coteau, where the ground is stony, uneven till left by stagnant glacier ice. That shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Ross Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most of these jobs begin, so it is worth weighing the two gravels before you pick one. Class 5 is the full base course.

Class 13 is a surfacing gravel, blade-friendly and binding, for an approach or lane that needs a wearing layer rather than a rebuild.

Below that, the choice usually comes down to what water has to do and what the surface has to look like.

Washed rock is the clean, open stone that lets water move instead of pooling it. Around Ross, where snowmelt and rain collect in closed low spots, that matters as much as the surface does.

For sand and soil, mason sand beds block, brick and paver joints, and washed sand levels under slabs and flatwork. Black dirt, which is what North Dakota yards call screened topsoil, handles lawns and grade repair.

On the decorative side, river rock and larger landscape rock make beds and borders that hold up to wind better than bark mulch does.

Ground and Conditions in Ross

Start with where the water goes, because on the Coteau it often has nowhere to go. Drainage here is unintegrated: the sloughs and potholes are not connected, and no stream runs through much of this ground.

So snowmelt and rain sit in closed low spots, and drives between the hills stay soft well into spring.

The soil is hummocky stagnation moraine, left where stagnant glacier ice melted out on the upland. That means stony, uneven till, with pockets of sand and gravel in kames and eskers.

A drive laid over that can settle unevenly if the subgrade was never leveled.

Frost drives the timing as much as the ground does. Long, severe winters put deep frost in the ground, and the hard spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads.

Base, driveway and paver work here 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.

Any frost depth figure belongs to the city or county that set it, so check with Mountrail County before you plan footings.
