Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Spiritwood, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Spiritwood, ND, from Class 5 for a driveway base to riprap for a washed-out bank. Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.

This is rolling glacial till country, and the ground here holds stone and boulders through it. That shapes what you need on a slope, in a swale or along a coulee edge.

Materials for Spiritwood Projects

Start with the coarse end when the job is holding ground in place. Slope, swale and bank protection is where the heavy stone earns its place, and the finer material comes in once the ground is stable.

Coarse stone for slope and bank protection

Riprap is the armor grade for coulee banks, culvert outlets and shoreline that takes wave action. It is graded Grade I, II and III here, and the grade you want depends on how hard the water hits.

Large River Rock suits dry creek beds, shelterbelt edging and heavier decorative work where you also want erosion control. River Rock is the smaller decorative option for beds, borders and rock mulch, which holds up better than bark in North Dakota wind.

Drainage stone

Washed Rock, also called 1 inch washed rock or drain rock, goes into drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. It is clean, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone is the finer drainage and pipe bedding size, and it also works as a topping course over compacted base.

Base and surfacing gravel

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It goes under driveways, parking pads and shop or shed bases, and it is specified by that class number on plans.

See Class 5 for the full description.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel: a binding, blade-friendly material for an approach, lane or gravel drive where you want a wearing surface rather than a full base course. It is listed as Class 13.

Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state, and it is what North Dakotans picture when they say scoria. It surfaces paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Sand, soil and fill

Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low ground before a gravel course goes down.

Mason Sand beds block and brick work and fills paver joints. Washed Sand is the bedding and leveling sand under slabs and flatwork.

Delivery to Spiritwood and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Spiritwood sits in Stutsman County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area. That includes places like Jamestown, Kensal, Medina, Cleveland and Montpelier.

Bulk loads are heavy, so a firm, reachable spot for the pile helps the drop go smoothly. Have the area clear before the truck arrives.

Ground and Conditions in Spiritwood

Plan the work around the working season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Spring load restrictions also slow hauling while the frost comes out. Long, severe winters drive deep ground frost into this ground, and the thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads.

Across the Drift Prairie, sloughs and pothole wetlands hold snowmelt on the flats. Till with a tight subsoil drains slowly, so water that does not soak in has to go somewhere, and it concentrates in the deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees.

That is why coarse stone matters on a slope or a bank. Wind erosion on open, bare ground, gully cutting in the coulees and bank scour after thaw and heavy rain all pull material downhill.

Armor the banks and outlets first, then build the base and surface on ground that is no longer moving. Riprap and large river rock are the sizes that hold a slope, while the finer crushed stone and gravel handle the flat work.
