Buy Garden Soil in Lake Powell, UT

Utah Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Lake Powell, UT, from untreated base course and washed stone to sand, fill and screened topsoil. Grading and bed prep start with the soil, so that is where this page begins.

Ground here is red sandstone derived sand and thin rocky soil, alkaline and low in organic matter. New lots often sit on stripped subsoil, so imported material does the work.

Materials for Lake Powell Projects

Grading and bed prep start with what goes under and into the ground. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before anything else goes down.

Screened Top Soil gives lawns and beds a start on ground that has been stripped to subsoil. Garden Soil is a soil and compost blend for raised beds and planting areas.

Once grade is set, the compacting base goes in. Untreated base course, which Utah yards and crews shorten to UTBC, is the base under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Washed stone handles water. Drain Rock, also called washed rock or clean rock, goes into French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand beds and joints the finish work. Washed Sand levels under pavers and slabs, and Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Lake Powell

Water is what decides how a base here performs. Summer monsoon cloudbursts run straight off slickrock and hardpan into the washes, and shale clay sheds almost everything that falls on it.

Standing water on shale clay is what ruins a base.

That ground also swells when it is wet and shrinks and cracks when it dries, and it is alkaline, low in organic matter and gypsum bearing in places. Imported screened topsoil and a soil and compost blend are the usual answer for planting.

Erosion follows the same water. Flash flooding in the washes and arroyos, gullying in the shale badlands, and sand moving on the wind off the slickrock benches.

RipRap armors wash and arroyo banks, culvert outlets, canal and irrigation ditch banks, and cut slopes against flash runoff.

The working season is long with a hot summer, and late-summer monsoon storms are the interruption. Washes can run hard with no rain falling on the site itself, so plan grading and base work around that pattern.

Frost here is frequent shallow freeze-thaw through cold nights and mild days rather than one long freeze. Frost depth is set locally and moves a lot with elevation in this part of the state, so confirm it locally before footing work.
