Materials for Mendon Projects

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

Size it by top size. Road base is the same material under its plain-language name, sold as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural, canyon and bench drives. Crusher run is a crushed, self-binding material for drives and pads.

For paths, crusher fines compact into a walkable surface and bed pavers and flagstone. Walkway gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer finish than drive stone.

Wet ground needs clean stone that lets water move. Drain rock, also called washed rock, goes in French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4 inch crushed stone works in drainage beds, trench backfill, drive surfacing and construction entrances. RipRap armors wash banks, culvert outlets, canal and irrigation ditch banks, and cut slopes against flash runoff.

Sand and soil round out a build. Washed sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs, and mason sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

Ground here is alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots are often stripped to clay subsoil. Top Soil starts lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

For beds, tree rings and park strips, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a hot, dry summer. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe surround.

Ground and Conditions in Mendon

Across the Cache Valley and the Bear River country, the valley floor is deep lake silt and clay left on the old Lake Bonneville bed. Sand and gravel sit on the benches and in the fans at the canyon mouths.

That clay drains slowly, and the water table sits high under much of the valley floor. Drives and flatwork need a free-draining course beneath them so water has somewhere to go.

Spring snowmelt is the peak water. Snowmelt and rain scour stream banks and irrigation ditch banks, canyon-mouth flooding moves material, and wind works the open flats west of the valleys.

Alkaline ground runs throughout, and salt-affected flats appear toward the Great Salt Lake and the Bear River delta. Untreated base course and washed stone both handle that ground better than a fines-heavy fill.

Frost is the other half of the schedule. These colder northern valleys sit below the Salt Lake valley, with long winter inversions and heavy fog, and frost heaves gravel drives and field roads.

Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction. The 30 inch figure belongs to the Salt Lake valley, and confirm the figure for your own jurisdiction locally before you set footings.
