Friday Projects


We are busy North of Minot working on a residential development for a developer. This week we are excavating for roads that we will be putting in.

 Another project that is ongoing is a new storage yard for Dakota Fence. We have had 10 trucks hauling gravel onto the site this week.




Happy Weekend!

Building a Road of Scoria


Here are a few photos of what Dustin is up to today with the grader. 




If you have driven around southwestern North Dakota, you will be familiar with the striking sight of the red roads contrasting against the blue North Dakota sky. 

The rock that makes up these red roads is known as scoria, which is sandstone, clay, or shale baked by burning lignite coal.

Bluestone Construction is building some roads in the area for oil sites.

Water Tower Project

Another great project is underway today East of Minot.

A Bluestone excavator and bulldozer are onsite today kicking things of for the pad of a new water tower that will be going up this year.
