3/8 Inch Crushed Stone for Patios in Price, UT

Utah Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Price, UT, from untreated base course to bedding sand. The ground here is alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots often sit on clay subsoil.

That shapes what you order for a patio, a pad, or a driveway.

You order online by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in Price

Price sits in Carbon County in the Castle Valley shale country, where the clay swells when it is wet and shrinks and cracks when it dries. Water standing on that clay is what ruins a base.

A thin base over shale shows its failure at the surface. The pavers rock, the joints open, and the edges drop after a wet spring.

The fix is a compacted untreated base course that carries the load and a drainage layer that moves water off the clay.

Summer monsoon cloudbursts run off hardpan and slickrock into the washes, and shale clay sheds almost everything that falls on it. The washes can run hard even when no rain falls on your site.

The working season runs long with a hot summer, and late-summer storms are the main interruption. Cold nights and mild days bring frequent shallow freeze-thaw through the winter rather than one long freeze.

Materials for Price Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the layer that decides whether a patio stays flat. Get it right and the surface above it holds.

Start with Road Base, the untreated base course that Utah yards and crews call UTBC.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Above the base, bedding sets the pavers. Crusher Fines, also called screenings or chat, beds pavers and flagstone and surfaces paths.

A crusher fines path is a standard Intermountain West detail and holds up in dry ground better than loose stone.

Washed Sand, or concrete sand, is the other bedding choice, used for leveling under pavers and slabs. Mason Sand, also called mortar sand, goes into brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

For the drainage layer under all of it, Drain Rock is the washed rock Utah yards also call clean rock. It handles French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells and downspout runs.

At the surface, 3/8" Crushed Stone, or 3/8 inch chip, fills paver joints and tops a compacted base. Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and dog runs where a rounded stone is wanted.
