What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone has angular, broken faces from a crusher, so it binds and compacts. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and smooth, so it stays loose and drains freely. Order crushed stone for a base, a drive surface, or drainage beds. Order Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas, dog runs, and pipe surround where a rounded stone is wanted.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Utah Rock Supply sells both ways, and you choose at checkout. Order by the ton when a supplier quotes weight, and by the yard when your plan or takeoff is in volume. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load before you order. Neither unit is wrong; pick the one your numbers are already in.

Which stone is best for drainage in Davis County?

It depends on where you are. On bench gravel, water already moves fast, so drainage stone is about directing flow. In low ground near the valley floor, where silt and clay hold water, washed rock like Drain Rock is the usual choice for French drains and footing drains. For heavier flow, riprap armors banks and outlets against flash runoff.

Materials delivered in Davis County

Base material in Utah is specified as untreated base course.

City and county work follows the APWA Utah Chapter Manual, where the matching section is 32 11 23 Untreated Base Course.

Yards and crews here call the same material road base, sold by top size like 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. Road Base is the compacting layer under drives, pads, and slabs.

Finer finishes include Mason Sand for block work and paver joints, and Wasatch Cobble for beds, borders, and dry creek beds.

Ground conditions across Davis County

Base, driveway, and paver work runs from early spring into late autumn. Frozen ground stops compaction in midwinter, and July and August are dry enough that a base needs added water to compact properly.

Across the Wasatch Front and the Bonneville benches, Lake Bonneville sorted these valleys. Sand and gravel sit in the benches and in the deltas at the canyon mouths, while finer silt and clay lie out on the valley floor.

That split changes drainage. Bench gravel drains fast, but valley-floor silt and clay hold water, and shallow groundwater sits close to the surface in the low ground.

Spring snowmelt and summer cloudbursts both arrive faster than the ground can take them.

Cold, dry winters bring repeated freeze-thaw in the valleys with light snow cover, so gravel drives and the edges of flatwork heave every spring. Frost depth runs 30 inches in Salt Lake City and North Salt Lake; each jurisdiction sets its own figure, so confirm it with the local building official.

Choosing the right material

Salt Lake County shares this ground region, so the soil and drainage conditions there are the same as yours. Weber County spans more than one zone, covering both the Wasatch Front and the Bonneville benches and the Wasatch Back and the mountain valleys.

That means a Weber County project can sit on different ground than a Davis County one. If your site is on bench gravel, water moves through fast and your base decision is about binding and compaction.

On valley-floor silt and clay, or where shallow groundwater sits close, drainage stone matters more.
