Scoria and Bulk Aggregates for Sykeston, ND

North Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sykeston, ND, by the ton. Class 5 is the base gravel this part of the state builds on, and it is what a driveway, parking pad or shed base starts from.

Sykeston sits in Wells County, out on the Drift Prairie, where rolling glacial till left stone and boulders through the ground.

Materials for Sykeston Projects

Water is the reason to think about washed stone first. Meltwater off a long winter has to go somewhere, and around Sykeston the ground does not always take it.

Washed Rock, sold as 1 inch washed rock or drain rock, is washed clean of fines so water moves through it. It goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge lines, downspout runs and foundation drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean, open stone for drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone handles finer drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base.

For a French drain or a drywell, the washed stone is the working part of the system. Water enters the stone, drops through the void space and moves on instead of sitting against a foundation wall.

Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It builds driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

Class 13 is a surface gravel for an approach or lane where a binding, blade-friendly material is wanted rather than a full base course.

Class 5 and Class 13 are specified by those class numbers, which is how the material is called out on a plan. The yard sells the material; the class number is the language the spec uses.

Above the base, Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state, used to surface paths, yards, lanes and parking areas. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding.

Soil and sand round out a site. Top Soil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt, covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep.

Mason Sand goes into block and brick work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Ground and Conditions in Sykeston

Base, driveway and paver work on the Drift Prairie 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.

That timing matters when you plan a delivery. Material that lands on ground still coming out of frost can shift under a truck before it is worked into place.

The ground here is rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through it, plus washboard moraine and ice-thrust hills. Bands of sand and gravel run through the old meltwater channels.

Sloughs and pothole wetlands hold snowmelt on the flats, and till with a tight subsoil drains slowly. Runoff that does move concentrates into deep, steep-walled meltwater coulees.

Wind erosion works on open, bare ground, and gullies cut in the coulees. Bank scour follows thaw and heavy rain.

Winters here 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, not by a statewide table.
