Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Monticello, UT

Utah Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Monticello, UT. Start with untreated base course, the material that carries most driveways, parking pads and shed bases in San Juan County.

Ground here is alkaline and low in organic matter, and shale clay moves under a wet load. The right stone and the right size settle that before it starts.

Materials for Monticello Projects

Coarse stone is where a slope, swale or arroyo bank gets its protection. Water leaves slickrock in a hurry, and fine material washes off a bank in one storm.

RipRap armors wash and arroyo banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks. It is the heaviest answer for ground that takes flash runoff.

Large River Rock, sold as 4 to 6 inch cobble, builds dry creek beds and swales. Its weight holds where a small stone would move.

Railroad Ballast suits hard standing, track beds and severe drainage. The coarse open structure passes water fast.

Step down in size for drainage and base work. Drain Rock, also called washed rock or clean rock, goes into French drains, footing drains, window wells and downspout runs.

Road Base is the plain name Utah yards use for the compacting base, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Crusher Fines, also called stone screenings or chat, surface paths and trails and bed pavers and flagstone. A fines path holds up in dry ground.

Sand, soil and mulch finish a site. Washed sand beds and levels under pavers, mason sand sets block and brick, screened topsoil starts a lawn, and shredded mulch holds moisture through a hot summer.

Ground and Conditions in Monticello

The working season here is long and the summer is hot, so timing matters more than most places. Late-summer monsoon storms are the interruption, and a wash can run hard with no rain falling on your site.

Across the Canyon country and the Castle Valley shale side, water that gets into shale clay is what ruins a base. Shale swells when it is wet and cracks when it dries.

Red sandstone derived sand and thin rocky ground sit over slickrock through much of this country. That sand moves on the wind, so a clean coarse layer beats a fines-heavy one on an exposed edge.

Winter here brings frequent shallow freeze-thaw rather than one long freeze, and the higher ground around Monticello freezes harder and holds snow. Frost depth is set locally and moves with elevation, so confirm it locally.

Questions About Stone in Monticello

What stone should I use for drainage in Monticello?

Match the stone to the job. Drain Rock, also called washed rock or clean rock, suits French drains, footing drains and downspout runs.

For a drainage bed or trench backfill, 3/4 inch crushed stone is the coarse clean size. Heavier flow along a bank or swale calls for RipRap or Large River Rock.

Keep fines out of any drainage layer, because shale clay and sand will seal it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and the truck able to reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you plan to move the material afterward.

Order your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. The truck does not spread the load.
