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

Utah Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Teasdale, UT, from untreated base course to bedding sand and decorative stone. Everything arrives in bulk, ordered online by the ton or the yard.

Teasdale sits in Wayne County, where the high valley ground runs to silt and clay between the plateaus. That ground shapes what goes under a patio as much as what sits on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Teasdale

Across the Sanpete, Sevier and the high plateau valleys, irrigated valley floors are silt and clay that stay wet and drain slowly. Some of that ground is alkaline, and gypsum bearing or salty soils are common in the region.

Where water is left to stand against a slab or footing, gypsum bearing ground can soften and settle. A patio built straight onto that ground shows the problem as rocking, sunken corners and joint lines that open up.

The fix starts below the surface. Excavate to a stable layer, then bring in a compacting base that spreads the load and a bedding layer that lets the surface sit flat and stay flat.

Timing matters here too. This is a short high-valley season, and the ground is frozen from late autumn into spring.

Base work, drives and flatwork happen in the window between.

Snowmelt off the plateaus and short, hard summer thunderstorms both put water against a patio edge. Slope the finished surface away from the slab and give the water somewhere to go.

Materials for Teasdale Projects

Bedding is the layer that decides how a patio looks in five years. Under pavers and flatwork, the bedding material has to sit flat, hold its line and stay put while the surface above it is set.

Untreated base course, shortened to UTBC, is the compacting base under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Utah yards size it by top size, so you will see it sold as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. Road Base is the catalogue name for the same material.

Above that base, 3/8" Crushed Stone, also called 3/8 inch chip or chip rock, beds pipe, fills paver joints and gives a thin topping over a compacted base. It is a small, angular stone, which is what a bedding layer needs.

Crusher Fines, known locally as screenings, fines or pathway chat, compact into a firm surface for paths and trails and bed pavers and flagstone. A crusher fines path is a standard Intermountain West detail and holds up in dry ground better than loose stone.

For the layer that has to move water, Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under pavers and slabs and mixes into mortar. Drain Rock, or washed rock, goes into French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells and downspout runs.

Where the work is decorative rather than structural, Wasatch Cobble covers beds, borders, park strips and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles dry creek beds, swales and slope cover where flash runoff would move a smaller stone.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Teasdale?

Untreated base course, or UTBC, is the compacting base for a drive, sold by top size as 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. On the valley clay and gypsum bearing ground in this part of the state, that base is what keeps a drive from rutting and settling.
