Start with the base. Untreated base course, shortened to UTBC, is the compacting layer under patios, pads and walks here.

Ground and Conditions in Bingham Canyon

A thin base shows itself fast on the Wasatch Front and the Bonneville benches. Patios and walks rock, settle and crack along the edges as the ground moves under them.

Bench gravel drains fast, and valley-floor silt and clay hold water. Spring snowmelt off the Wasatch and summer cloudbursts at the canyon mouths both arrive faster than ground can take them.

Soils here run alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots are often stripped to clay subsoil before anything is built. A firm, uniform bed under flatwork matters more than a decorative surface on top.

Compaction stops when the ground freezes, and July and August are dry enough that a base needs added water to lock up. Most base, driveway and paver work runs from early spring into late autumn.

Freeze-thaw in the valleys heaves gravel drives and the edges of flatwork every spring. Frost depth is 30 inches in Salt Lake City and North Salt Lake, and each jurisdiction sets its own figure, so confirm it with the local building official.

Materials for Bingham Canyon Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides how the finished surface holds. Set the right material under the stone and the joints stay tight.

Untreated Base Course (UTBC)

UTBC is the Utah base course under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Utah yards also sell it as road base, sized by top size at 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. Size the base by top size rather than by another state's class number.

Bedding and Joint Materials

• Washed sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under pavers and slabs.
• Crusher fines, or screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and give paths a walkable finish.
• Mason sand, or mortar sand, fills paver joints and handles brick and block work.
• 3/8 inch crushed stone, or chip rock, tops a compacted base and fills paver joints.

Fill and Grade

Where the grade sits low, fill dirt raises it and backfills before a base course goes down. Bring the subgrade up first, then build the base on top of it.

Questions About Gravel and Aggregate in Bingham Canyon

What gravel is best for a driveway in Bingham Canyon?

Start with untreated base course, sold as road base, in 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. It compacts into a firm surface that carries a drive through freeze-thaw.

Then top it with driveway gravel if you want a finer running surface, or leave the base exposed. On bench ground that drains fast, the compacted base does the structural work.
