Materials for Sterling Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for here. Drains, drywells and downspout runs carry it away from a foundation, a shop pad or a lane.

Washed stone keeps those runs open because it carries no fines to pack tight and seal.

Washed Rock, also called 1 inch washed rock or drain rock, is the standard for drain tile beds, sump discharge and foundation drains. 3/8" Crushed Stone works for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base.

#57 Stone and #4 Crushed Stone handle heavier drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. Plans here call those sizes by number rather than over the counter.

Class 5 is the base under all of it. It is the North Dakota base gravel, and it builds driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

Class 5 goes down before any surface course.

Class 13 surfaces an approach, a lane or a gravel drive where a binding, blade-friendly gravel is wanted instead of a full base course. Scoria, the red burned-lignite clinker, covers paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Ground and Conditions in Sterling

Across the Missouri Slope, soft Fort Union sandstone, siltstone, claystone and lignite sit under a thin soil cover. Swelling clay shows up in places, glacial material is patchy, and sand and gravel lie on the Missouri River terraces.

That ground moves when it gets wet.

Drainage here is well developed. Water moves fast down the draws and coulees instead of standing, so the problem is runoff arriving all at once and cutting a drive apart.

Gully cutting in soft shale and claystone follows the same pattern.

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.

Time a delivery to that window.

Winters are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.
