Bulk Material Delivery in Thompson, ND

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Thompson, ND? North Dakota Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site by the ton.

Class 5 is the base gravel most drives and pads here start from.

This part of the Red River Valley lake plain is flat, silty clay with almost no stone in it. That means you order your stone rather than dig it, and you plan for water that has nowhere to go.

Materials for Thompson Projects

Water is the job on this ground. Snowmelt and summer rain sit on the clay instead of running off, so a lot of Thompson work starts with getting water away from a building.

Washed stone is where that starts. It is clean, open and free of fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling on top.

Drainage stone

Use washed rock for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains. The open void space lets water travel to an outlet.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles the coarser end: drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

#57 Stone is called for by number on plans for French drains and concrete aggregate. #4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

Base and surfacing

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

Class 13 surfaces an approach, lane or gravel drive where you want a binding, blade-friendly gravel rather than a full base course.

Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker from the west of the state. It surfaces paths, yards, lanes and parking areas.

Sand, soil and decorative

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork. Mason Sand goes into block and brick work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, repairs grade and preps beds. River Rock mulches decorative beds and holds up better than bark in North Dakota wind.

Ground and Conditions in Thompson

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.

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.

Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the valley floor has almost no fall and the lake clay sheds water slowly. Snowmelt and rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That is why drainage stone matters as much as base gravel on this ground. A clean, open stone under a downspout or along a foundation drain gives water a path.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and ruts bare clay. Riprap arms culvert outlets and banks against that runoff.
