Walcott sits in Richland County, and delivery covers the county, including Wahpeton, Hankinson, Lidgerwood, Wyndmere and Fairmount. If your site is on a field approach or a lane outside town, give the delivery address plainly at checkout so the truck reaches the right spot.

Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile. Plan where you want that pile to sit before the truck comes, because the driver tips it and leaves.

Materials for Walcott Projects

This is flat lake plain ground, so raising grade and building pads come before anything decorative. Fill dirt, also called fill or clay fill, raises grade, fills low ground and backfills before a gravel course goes down.

Class 5, the standard North Dakota base gravel, goes over that fill as the compacted base for driveways, parking pads and shop or shed bases.

For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the grade is low, then cap it with Class 5. Where you want a binding, blade-friendly surface on an approach or lane, Class 13 is the surfacing gravel for that job.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which North Dakota yards call pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

For drainage, Washed Rock goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge and foundation drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, covers lawns, grade repair and bed prep. Mason Sand beds block and brick work and paver joints, and Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Walcott

Across the Red River Valley lake plain, the ground is deep silt and clay with almost no stone in it. The valley floor has almost no fall, and lake clay sheds water slowly.

Snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That is what an under-built base runs into here. Water that cannot leave softens a thin gravel layer and ruts it.

Fill dirt and Class 5 give you the grade and the compacted base to get above that.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and meandering channels, and bare clay ground takes sheet wash and rutting. Riprap, graded Grade I, II and III here, armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and reservoir shoreline against spring runoff.

Winters are long and severe, with deep ground frost and a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. 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.

Frost depth runs about 4 to 5 feet in this part of the state. The City of Fargo sets footings at 54 inches, and other jurisdictions publish their own figure.

Questions About Material in Walcott

What is the best base under pavers in Walcott?

Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel and the compacted base for pavers, patios and parking pads. On this lake plain ground, the base has to sit above slow-draining clay, so fill dirt may go in first to raise grade.

Stone Screenings then bed the pavers and fill the joints.
