3/8 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Payson, UT

Utah Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Payson, UT, and the surrounding part of Utah County. Untreated base course, which Utah yards and crews shorten to UTBC, is the compacting material under drives, pads and slabs here.

Across the Wasatch Front and the Bonneville benches, soils run alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots are often stripped to clay subsoil before anything is built. That ground is why base depth gets decided before finish material does.

Materials for Payson Projects

Water is the reason to think about washed stone first. Bench gravel drains fast, while valley-floor silt and clay hold water, and shallow groundwater sits close to the surface in the low ground.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all move that water away from a foundation or a drive.

Washed stone is the material for that work. It is clean, with the fines washed out, so water passes through instead of pooling in it.

• Drain Rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock, for French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, trench backfill and drive surfacing.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold as 3/8 inch chip, for fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.
• #57 Stone for drainage and French drains, specified locally by number and sold by inch size.
• RipRap for armoring wash banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks against flash runoff.

Below the washed stone sits the base. Untreated base course, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus, is the Utah name for the compacting material under a driveway, parking pad, shed base or paver area.

The catalogue lists it as Road Base. 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 for that job.

Above the base, the choice turns on the finish you want. Crusher Fines, also called screenings or chat, compact into a walkable path surface and bed pavers and flagstone.

Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded stone for walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Sand, soil and mulch round out a project. Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs, and Top Soil gives lawns and beds a start on ground that is low in organic matter.

Ground and Conditions in Payson

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 set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure with the local building official.

Spring snowmelt off the Wasatch and summer cloudbursts at the canyon mouths both arrive faster than the ground can take them. That is the case for washed stone under a drainage run and for riprap where runoff concentrates.
