Order Class 5 and Crushed Stone in Ward County, ND

Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Ward County, ND online. North Dakota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard and sends a dump truck to your site.

Start with Class 5, the standard North Dakota base gravel for driveways, parking pads and shop floors. Souris Basin ground here is clay, silt and wind-blown sand, so what sits under a drive matters as much as what covers it.

Materials Delivered in Ward County

Class 5 is the base course most of this work is built on. It is a crushed gravel base with fines that bind and compact into a firm pad for drives, approaches, parking areas and shed floors.

Section 302 names Class 5 as the traffic service aggregate for aggregate base and surface course.

Cities and counties write those same class numbers into their own street specifications. That is how material is described and ordered in Ward County, so the class number is what to have in hand when you size a load.

Class 13 is the surface gravel for an approach, lane or gravel drive where you want a binding, blade-friendly material 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 in that familiar red.

Choosing the Right Material

Ward County sits on the bed of glacial Lake Souris: clay and silt near the middle, wave-washed till around the rim, and wind-blown delta sand over much of the old lake plain.

McLean County, Burke County and Mountrail County sit on the Missouri Coteau. That ground is hummocky stagnation moraine, stony and uneven till with sand and gravel pockets in kames and eskers and prairie potholes by the thousand.

That difference changes the base choice. Stony moraine ground drains and sheds water unevenly, while flat lake plain holds it, so a drive on clay and silt needs a base course that compacts and stays put.

For a drive or pad in Ward County, start with Class 5 and top it with Class 13 where you want a binding surface.

Where water has to leave, washed rock and 3/4" Crushed Stone handle drain tile beds, sump discharge and foundation drains.

For finer drainage and bedding, 3/8" Crushed Stone and Stone Screenings fit tight spots, pipe bedding and paver work.

Ground Conditions Across Ward County

A thin base course shows itself fast on this ground. Clay and silt near the middle of the old lake bed hold water, and wind-blown sand over the lake plain shifts under a load.

Across the Souris Basin and Lake Souris plain, snowmelt comes down onto flat, slow-draining lake plain, and low ground along the valleys and in the sand country takes water first.

Wind erosion and blowouts on the sandy end of the old lake bed, bank scour along the valleys, and sheet wash off bare clay are the erosion drivers here. Riprap and a base that compacts address each one.

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. Frost depth is set by the city or county rather than by a statewide table.
