Bulk Material Delivery in St. Thomas, ND

For gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Thomas, ND, North Dakota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and tips it on your site.

This is Red River Valley lake plain ground: deep silt and clay with very little stone in it.

The clay underneath sheds water slowly, so what you put on top has to move water away.

Materials for St. Thomas Projects

Washed stone is where a wet yard gets solved. Clean, open stone with the fines washed out lets water pass instead of ponding, which suits drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains on ground that holds meltwater.

For a French drain or a drywell, the stone has to stay open. Washed Rock is the one inch clean material for those runs, and 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

Where a drain line needs a smaller, tighter stone, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and pipe bedding. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are the numbered sizes plans call for on drainage and concrete work.

Under all of it goes the base. Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel, used for driveways, parking pads and shop and shed bases.

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

For banks and outlets, Riprap is graded Grade I, II and III here and armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and shorelines against spring runoff and wave action. Yards and beds take Top Soil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt, for lawns, grade repair and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in St. Thomas

Base, driveway and paver work 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, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost, then a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Across the Red River Valley lake plain the valley floor has almost no fall, and the lake clay sheds water slowly.

Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off. That is the case for washed stone under downspouts and drain lines, and for a base course that carries water rather than trapping it.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks on the deeply meandering channels, and bare clay ground ruts and washes under sheet flow. Riprap at an outlet or bank face is the answer to that, not more gravel.
