Ground and Conditions in Duchesne

Ground across the Uinta Basin and the south slope of the Uintas is alkaline and often salty. Shale derived silt and clay sits on the benches, and that fine material turns greasy the moment it is wet.

Clay holds water and stays soft long after the surface looks dry. A thin base over that ground pumps, shifts and ruts under a truck or a loaded trailer.

The fix is untreated base course placed deep enough to bridge the soft layer and crowned to shed water. Screenings and clean stone do not bridge soft ground, so keep them above the base.

Duchesne County frost depth is 30 inches. That figure is a footing depth, and each jurisdiction sets its own, so confirm it with the local building official.

Gully and arroyo cutting in the shale badlands sends flash runoff across low ground. Wind works the exposed benches when the ground is bare.

Heavy truck traffic on rural roads is hard on gravel surfaces here, and they are re-topped often.

Materials for Duchesne Projects

Crusher fines, also called screenings or chat, surface paths and garden walks. A crusher fines path is a standard Intermountain West detail, and it holds up in dry ground better than loose stone.

It also beds pavers and flagstone.

Walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface than drive gravel. Natural Pea Gravel, sold as 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel or pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and dog runs where a rounded stone is wanted.

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

Utah yards and crews sell the same compacting material as road base, sized by top size at 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Drain rock, also called washed rock or clean rock, goes into French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells and downspout runs. Buy coarse stone by inch size, such as 3/4 inch crushed stone for drainage beds and trench backfill.

Riprap armors wash banks, culvert outlets, canal and irrigation ditch banks, and cut slopes against flash runoff. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down.

Screened topsoil starts lawns and bed prep, because Utah ground averages about pH 8 and runs low in organic matter. New lots are often stripped to clay subsoil, so imported screened topsoil is the usual start.

Garden soil, a soil and compost blend, fills raised beds and planting areas.

River rock, or cobble, covers decorative beds, borders, park strips and dry creek beds. Large river rock, a 4 to 6 inch cobble, suits dry creek beds and slope cover where flash runoff would move a smaller stone.

Questions About Ordering in Duchesne

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear and reachable for a dump truck. The load is tipped in one pile, so leave room for the material to sit without blocking a road or a gate.

Mark anything you do not want covered, such as a meter or a culvert, and keep vehicles, trailers and bins out of the way before the truck backs in.

What is the best base under pavers in Duchesne?

Untreated base course, called UTBC locally, is the base under paver work here. The shale derived clay in this ground holds water and stays soft, so the base has to bridge that layer rather than sit on it.

Crusher fines then bed the pavers on top of the compacted base.
