Ground across the West Desert and the Great Basin valleys runs from alluvial fan gravel and sand along the mountain fronts to playa silt, clay and salt crust on the basin floors. That mix decides what goes under a drive, a pad or a slab.
Materials Delivered in Millard County
Order by project. A driveway, a patio, a drain and a lawn each want a different material, and the local names below are the ones Utah yards put on a ticket.
Base and driveways
Road base is untreated base course, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.
APWA Utah Chapter Section 32 11 23 Untreated Base Course is the matching city and county section. It goes under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.
Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and bench drives. Crusher run is a crushed, self-binding material for drives and pads.
Drainage and clean stone
Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock, is clean stone for French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.
3/4 inch crushed stone works for drainage beds, trench backfill, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
#57 stone and #67 stone cover drainage and concrete aggregate. RipRap armors wash and arroyo banks, culvert outlets, canal and irrigation ditch banks, and cut slopes against flash runoff.
Paths, beds and soils
Crusher fines, also called screenings or pathway chat, surface compacted paths and trails and bed pavers and flagstone. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe surround.
Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawns and bed prep. Utah ground averages about pH 8 and is low in organic matter, and new lots are often stripped to clay subsoil, so imported screened topsoil is the usual start.
Ground Conditions Across Millard County
Across the West Desert and the Great Basin valleys, ground runs from alluvial fan gravel and sand along the mountain fronts to playa silt, clay and salt crust on the basin floors. It is strongly alkaline and calcareous, and salt-affected near the playas.
Fan gravel drains quickly, so a base there sheds water instead of holding it. Basin clay and salt crust hold water at the surface for days, which is where an under-built base shows first.
Very little rain falls here, but what does comes in summer cloudbursts that sheet across hardpan and playa crust with nowhere to soak in. Sheet flow and flash flooding off the fans move loose material, and wind strips fines off an unprotected surface before it is rolled.
Salt and alkali work up through an unprotected surface over time. The work season is long either side of a hot, dry summer, and water for compaction is the limiting factor in July and August.
Winters are cold and dry with large day-to-night swings and little snow cover, so ground freezes and thaws repeatedly through the season rather than staying frozen. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm it locally.

Order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.
A dump truck then tips the load in one pile on site.
Delivery covers Delta, Fillmore, Hinckley and Garrison, along with rural addresses in between. Have the drop spot clear and reachable by a dump truck before the load arrives.
Bulk loads are sized by weight or volume, so know which unit you are ordering in. Untreated base course, drain rock, riprap and topsoil all move as bulk loads.
Choosing the Right Material
Beaver County shares this ground region. It runs from alluvial fan gravel and sand along the mountain fronts to playa silt, clay and salt crust on the basin floors, strongly alkaline and calcareous, and salt-affected near the playas.
That means the same reasoning holds there as here. Base depth and drainage matter most where clay and salt crust hold water at the surface, and clean washed stone is the choice where water has to move.
Where fan gravel drains quickly, a compacted base still carries the load above it. Match the material to what the ground under it does with water.
