Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in St. John, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in St. John, ND for two kinds of buyers: contractors building pads and lanes, and homeowners fixing up a yard.

Class 5 is the base most of that work starts from here.

This part of the Turtle Mountains is hummocky ground, with stony rises and wet hollows between them. That shapes what you put down and when you can put it down.

Materials for St. John Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots around here, and that work runs on soil. Screened black dirt is the local name for topsoil, and it goes down for lawns, grade repair and bed prep.

Garden soil, often called garden mix, fills raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting pockets in a shelterbelt. Fill dirt handles the rough work: raising grade, filling low ground and backfilling before any gravel course goes down.

Once the grade is right, base gravel takes over. Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base, and it goes under driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for an approach or lane where you want a binding, blade-friendly layer rather than a full base course.

Washed stone and sand cover the drainage and flatwork side. Washed rock, sold by size as 1 inch washed rock, beds drain tile, sump discharge and downspout runs.

Mason sand works into block and brick, while washed sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in St. John

Across the Turtle Mountains, the ground has no through drainage. Rain and snowmelt move downhill until they hit a hollow, and then they sit there well into summer.

That matters for anything you build. A low corner of a yard or the bottom of a lane holds water long after the rest has dried, so the base under it has to shed water rather than trap it.

The upland also drains slowly where lake lots sit on till. If you are working near the water, plan on a drainage layer of clean stone and keep fines out of it.

Runoff is the other force at work. It cuts down the steep slopes at the edge of the upland, and on the lakeshores wave and ice action work at the bank through the spring.

Riprap is the answer for that kind of ground. Grade II riprap armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and shoreline against spring runoff.

Timing is tighter here than on the prairie below. Snow lies longer, the ground thaws later, and access roads soften first, so a spring delivery can be a wait.

Winters are the coldest and snowiest in the state, and the ground freezes deep. The thaw that follows heaves gravel drives and cabin approaches, which is why base depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.

What stone should I use for drainage in St. John?

Washed rock is clean stone for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains, and it stays open because it carries no fines. For heavier drainage and trench bottoms, #4 crushed stone works, while #57 stone and #67 stone fit French drains and concrete work.

Around the lakes and wet hollows here, keep fines out of the drainage layer.
