Materials delivered in Towner County
Start with the job, then match the material to it. Class 5 carries a driveway, a parking pad, or a shop base.
For surfacing an approach or a gravel lane, Class 13 is the blade-friendly choice. It binds and holds where a full base course is more than the job needs.
Scoria is the red burned-lignite clinker that North Dakotans picture for paths, yards, and lanes.
Drainage work takes clean stone. Washed Rock goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, and downspout runs.
3/4" Crushed Stone handles bin pads, pole barn floors, and construction entrances.
Pavers and flatwork need a bed. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a walking surface.
Mason Sand goes into block and brick work and paver joints, and Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs.
Yards take soil and decorative stone. Top Soil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt, builds lawns and repairs grade.
Riprap is graded Grade I, II, and III, and it armors banks, culvert outlets, and shorelines against wave action.
Ground conditions across Towner County
Towner County sits in the Devils Lake Basin, and the ground is rolling glacial till around a closed basin. Lake silt and clay show up on shorelines that have moved a long way in living memory.
Across the Devils Lake Basin there is no natural outlet at normal lake levels, so runoff collects rather than drains. On ground like that, water sits under a base that was built too thin, and the base is what fails first.
Salt-affected ground on those old shorelines changes how a pad holds up. Where the ground is silty and wet, drainage matters as much as the gravel itself.
Fill Dirt raises grade before a gravel course goes down.
Wave action on a shifting shoreline, saturated road shoulders, and gully cutting where runoff drops into the basin all drive erosion work here. Riprap and Large River Rock armor those banks.
Base, driveway, and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through winter, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.
Winters here are long and severe, and deep ground frost heaves gravel drives, approaches, and township roads. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.

Choosing the right material
Ground across this corner of North Dakota is not the same everywhere, and the base choice follows the ground. Rolette County lies in the Turtle Mountains, a wooded upland of hummocky glacial sediment with stony till on the rises and peaty, mucky ground in the hollows.
That is a different problem from Towner County's rolling till and lake silt. Peaty hollows hold water, so drainage stone and a clean, open layer matter more than depth alone.
Pierce County sits on the Souris Basin and the old Lake Souris plain, with clay and silt near the middle and wind-blown delta sand over much of the southern half. Clay and silt shed water slowly, which pushes the same way toward a drainage layer.
Cavalier County is Drift Prairie ground: rolling glacial till with stone and boulders through it, washboard moraine, and bands of sand and gravel in old meltwater channels. Stony till like that is firmer underfoot than lake silt.
If your ground is silty or peaty, plan on fill and drainage before you top it with Class 5. On firmer till, Class 5 over a prepped subgrade does the work.
Class 13 finishes a surface either way.
Questions about ordering in Towner County
When is the best time of year to order base material in Towner County?
Plan around the thaw. Base, driveway, and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.
Spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out, so early summer through fall keeps the schedule clean. Order online and pick your delivery date at checkout.
What is the difference between topsoil and fill dirt?
Topsoil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt, is screened and used for lawns, grade repair, and bed prep. Fill dirt is structural: it raises grade, fills low ground, and backfills before a gravel course goes down.
Fill dirt goes underneath; black dirt goes on top where roots and seed need it.
What is Class 5 and what is it used for in Towner County?
Section 302 names it as the traffic service aggregate, and Section 816, Table 816-01 sets the gradation.
In Towner County it goes under driveways, parking pads, and shop and shed bases, and cities and counties write the class number into their own street specifications.
