Materials for Vernal Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the first job on most lots here, and it is the job that decides how everything after it performs. Fill and sub-base come before any surfacing.

Get the grade where you want it, then build the base on top.

Start with Fill Dirt when the ground sits low or a pad needs to come up. It raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down.

On the shale benches, that imported fill is what gets you off ground that holds water.

Then comes the base. Untreated base course, sold as Road Base by top size such as 3/4 inch minus, is the compacting layer under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

For a driveway or a rural road surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. Truck traffic on rural roads is hard on gravel surfaces, so drives get re-topped often.

Crusher Run is another self-binding option for drives and pads.

Wet ground and downspout runs call for clean stone that lets water move. Drain Rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock, goes into French drains, footing drains, window wells and drywells.

For drainage beds and trench backfill, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the coarse size Utah buyers name by inch rather than by number.

Ground and Conditions in Vernal

Ground in this part of the state runs to river terrace sand and gravel on one side and shale derived silt and clay on the benches between the rivers. It is alkaline and often salty.

The shale country makes a fine material that turns greasy the moment it is wet.

That clay holds water and stays soft long after the surface looks dry. Snowmelt off the Uinta Mountains comes in spring, then summer cloudbursts fall on ground that takes in very little.

An under-built base over that ground moves, and no amount of surface stone fixes it.

Erosion follows the same pattern across the Uinta Basin and the south slope of the Uintas. Runoff cuts gullies in the shale badlands and scours banks during spring runoff, and wind works the exposed benches.

RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks against that flash water. A cold high-desert basin also freezes deep, and the spring thaw heaves unpaved drives.

Footing depth is set by the building official, so confirm the figure for your jurisdiction.

The working season runs from the spring thaw to late autumn. Plan deliveries inside that window.

Questions Vernal Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in Vernal?

Untreated base course, sold as Road Base by top size, is the compacting layer under pavers here. The local shale ground is alkaline, often salty and holds water, so the base has to carry the load and let water move.

Bed the pavers in Washed Sand, and use Crusher Fines where you want a compacted walkable finish.
