Pea Rock for Pathways in Souris, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Souris, ND, and the season sets the schedule. Base and driveway work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall.

Frozen ground stops compaction, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out. Class 5 is the base gravel this part of the state builds on.

Ground and Conditions in Souris

Souris sits on the old bed of glacial Lake Souris, across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain. The ground runs from clay and silt near the middle to wave-washed till around the rim.

Wind-blown delta sand covers much of the southern half of that old lake plain. Snowmelt comes down from the north onto flat, slow-draining ground.

Low ground along the valleys and in the sand country takes water first. A thin base course over that ground fails at the edges, where water sits and the surface pumps and ruts.

The fix is a full base course of Class 5, placed wide enough to carry the load. Wind erosion and blowouts work on the sandy south end of the old lake bed.

Bank scour runs along the Souris and Des Lacs, and sheet wash moves off bare clay. Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw.

That thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.

Materials for Souris Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Stone Screenings are crusher fines, and they bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a firm walking surface.

They hold a shape once they are placed and watered in. For a looser surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

North Dakota yards say pea rock more often than Natural Pea Gravel. Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state, and it surfaces paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard North Dakota base gravel.

Class 13, also called surface gravel, is a binding, blade-friendly gravel. It surfaces an approach, lane or gravel drive where a full base course is not wanted.

Washed Rock is clean 1 inch rock for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep.
