Buy Bulk Gravel, Sand and Soil in Utah

Utah Rock Supply handles bulk gravel and aggregate delivery across Utah, and the material most Utah ground work starts from is untreated base course.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Utah soils run alkaline and calcareous, low in organic matter and averaging about pH 8. New lots are often stripped to clay subsoil before anything is built.

Materials Delivered Across Utah

Base material in Utah is specified as untreated base course.

Section 02056 covers granular borrow and granular backfill borrow under and around it. City and county work follows the APWA Utah Chapter Manual of Standard Specifications, where the matching section is 32 11 23 Untreated Base Course.

Utah yards sell the same compacting material as Road Base and size it by top size, such as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. Order it for driveways, parking pads, slabs and paver work.

Above the base. 3/4" Crushed Stone serves drainage beds, trench backfill, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

3/8" Crushed Stone is a chip for fine drainage, pipe bedding, paver joints and a thin topping over a compacted base.

Clean drainage stone goes by drain rock or washed rock in Utah. Drain Rock is the stone for French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.

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

Fine surfacing and bedding run to Crusher Fines, which Utah also calls screenings, fines or pathway chat. A crusher fines path is a standard Intermountain West detail and holds up in dry ground better than loose stone.

Rounded stone covers decorative and drainage work. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs, pipe surround and drainage.

Wasatch Cobble fills decorative beds, borders, park strips, mow strips and dry creek beds. Large River Rock goes into dry creek beds, swales and slope cover where flash runoff would move a smaller stone.

Sand, soil and mulch finish the list. Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs. Top Soil starts lawns and bed prep, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a hot, dry summer.

Ground and Climate Across Utah

Utah ground is alkaline and calcareous, low in organic matter and averaging about pH 8, with saline ground common. Lake Bonneville left bench and delta sand and gravel along the Wasatch Front and silt and clay on the valley floors.

Water drives the work here. Spring snowmelt comes off the Wasatch and the Uintas, and summer cloudbursts run off hardpan, slickrock and clay rather than soaking in.

Erosion follows the same pattern: flash flooding in washes and arroyos, debris flows and sheet flow off the alluvial fans at the canyon mouths, and gullying in the shale badlands of the Uinta Basin and Castle Valley. Wind moves fines off bare desert and basin ground.

The working season splits the state. The low valleys and the southwest desert run long, limited by summer heat and by water for compaction as much as by frost.

Frost depth in Utah is set jurisdiction by jurisdiction, not by one statewide figure. Published figures run from a code floor of 12 inches below undisturbed ground, through 30 inches in Salt Lake City, North Salt Lake and Duchesne County, to 36 inches in Summit County and 48 inches at Brian Head.
