Bulk Material Delivery in Portage, UT

Utah Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Portage, UT, with untreated base course as the starting point for most ground work. Untreated base course, shortened to UTBC at Utah yards, is the compacting layer under driveways, parking pads, slabs and shed bases.

Portage sits in Box Elder County, where deep lake silt and clay on the old Lake Bonneville floor drain slowly.

Materials for Portage Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on this ground. Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock, is the clean stone for French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs.

Because valley clay drains slowly and the water table sits high under much of the floor, a free-draining course beneath flatwork matters. Washed stone is what carries water away from a footing instead of holding it.

Coarse stone for drainage and drives

Buy coarse stone by inch size here. 3/4" Crushed Stone goes into drainage beds, trench backfill, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

#4 Crushed Stone is the larger clean stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and entrances.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are spec language for drainage and concrete aggregate. Counter sales usually name the same stone by inch size.

Base and bedding

Road Base is the plain-language name for the same compacting material, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Crusher Fines, also called screenings or chat, surface paths and trails and bed pavers and flagstone. Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs.

Soil, fill and surface stone

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down. Top Soil starts lawns and beds, which matters on ground that averages about pH 8 and runs low in organic matter.

Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or tops a compacted base. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and pipe surround where a rounded stone is wanted.

Bulk loads on this ground often mean untreated base course for a drive or pad, washed stone for a drain, and sand or soil for the finish work. Order each material on its own so the right truck arrives for each part of the job.

Ground and Conditions in Portage

This valley runs a shorter working season than the Wasatch Front. Base and paver work waits for the frost to leave the valley floor, and the window closes early in the autumn.

Frost sits in the valley floor well into spring and heaves gravel drives and field roads. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure with the local building official before you plan footings.

Alkaline ground runs throughout, and the flats toward the Great Salt Lake and the Bear River delta carry salt. Snowmelt and rain scour stream banks, irrigation ditch banks and canyon mouths, and wind moves loose material off the open flats west of the valleys.

That combination points to two practical choices. Put a free-draining washed stone course under flatwork so water does not sit against it, and armor any bank or ditch edge that takes flash runoff with rip rap.
