Untreated base course, or UTBC, is the Utah name for the compacting base under drives, pads and slabs. From there, washed stone carries the drainage work this valley needs.

Materials for Midvale Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work here. French drains, drywells, footing drains, window wells and downspout runs all want clean rock with no fines to clog the voids.

Drain Rock is the Utah yard name for that washed stone, and crews say washed rock about as often. It goes in the trench, around the footing and out to daylight.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the coarse clean stone for drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances. Buy it by inch size here.

Smaller washed stone finishes the tight spots. 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pipe and fills paver joints, and #89 Crushed Stone is the fine washed stone for tight bedding and joint fill.

Where the ground needs to shed water before anything is built over it, #4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for heavy drainage and trench bottoms. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are spec language for drainage and concrete aggregate at slightly different sizes.

Base comes next. Road Base is untreated base course, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

It sits under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work. Crusher Run is a crushed, self-binding material for drives and pads, though Utah plans and yards normally say untreated base course or road base.

Crusher Fines compact into a walkable path surface and bed pavers and flagstone. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer finish than drive gravel.

For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs. Wasatch Cobble fills beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock holds dry creek beds and swales where runoff would move a smaller stone.

RipRap armors wash banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks against flash runoff. Railroad Ballast is the heavy coarse stone for hard standing and severe drainage.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, while Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down. Top Soil and Garden Soil start lawns and beds, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Midvale

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 decides your 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.

A drainage layer matters more where the ground will not take water.

Soils here run alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots are often stripped to clay subsoil before anything is built. That is why imported screened topsoil and a garden soil blend are the usual start for lawns and beds.

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.

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