Start with untreated base course. Utah yards shorten it to UTBC.
Irrigated valley floors here are silt and clay, so a thin base course shows the ground beneath it fast.
Ground Conditions Across Sanpete County
Across the Sanpete, Sevier and the high plateau valleys, the valley floors are irrigated silt and clay between the plateaus. Alluvial fan gravel sits along the valley edges and river gravel lies in the bottoms.
Alkaline ground is normal, and gypsum bearing and salty soils are common in these valleys. Ground like that can soften and settle where water is left to stand against a slab or footing.
Water arrives as snowmelt off the plateaus in spring and short, hard summer thunderstorms. Irrigated valley clay stays wet and drains slowly, so drainage stone under and around flatwork matters as much as the base itself.
Erosion shows up as gullying on the plateau slopes, flash flooding down the washes and canyon mouths, and stream and ditch bank scour through the spring runoff. Rock riprap armors those banks and outlets.
This is a short high-valley season. The ground is frozen from late autumn into spring, so base, drive and flatwork go in between.

Choosing the Right Material
Sevier County shares the same ground region as Sanpete County: irrigated valley floors of silt and clay between the plateaus, with alluvial fan gravel along the valley edges and river gravel in the bottoms. The ground is the same, and so is the base and drainage reasoning.
Utah County sits on the Wasatch Front and the Bonneville benches, where Lake Bonneville sorted those valleys. Sand and gravel sit in the benches and in the deltas at the canyon mouths, and finer silt and clay lie out on the valley floor.
That difference changes the drainage layer more than the base. On sorted bench ground, water moves through sand and gravel; on Sanpete valley clay it stays put, so clean drainage stone earns its place under footing drains and flatwork edges.
