Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Virgin, UT online by the ton or the yard. Utah Rock Supply brings untreated base course, fines and washed stone straight to your site.

Ground here runs sandy and gravelly over rock, alkaline and low in organic matter. That shapes what you put down before anything gets built on it.

Ground and Conditions in Virgin

Across Southwest Utah, from the St. George basin to the Escalante Desert, the ground takes in very little water.

Heavy expansive clay sits under slabs and flatwork and holds moisture there.

Summer cloudbursts and winter frontal rain run off bare desert slopes fast. Sheet flow crosses alluvial fans and moves loose sandy ground, and the washes rise quickly.

What that means for a path or a drive: a thin layer of base fails. Water sits, the material shifts, and the surface ruts out.

Build the base course thick enough and drain the edges, and the walk stays put.

Work runs close to year round in this part of the state. Heat, not frost, sets the schedule, so you can plan most of the year.

Materials for Virgin Projects

Fines and screenings carry paths and walkways here. Crusher Fines, also called screenings, chat or pathway chat, compact into a firm, walkable surface.

Use them for trails, garden walks, and as bedding under pavers and flagstone.

Under any of that, you want the state base material. Untreated base course, shortened to UTBC, is the compacting layer under driveways, parking pads, slabs, shed bases and paver work.

Order it by top size: 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus. That is the same compacting material Utah crews call Road Base, sold by the size of the largest stone in the mix.

For drainage, Drain Rock is the washed stone. Utah yards also say washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock for the same clean material in French drains, footing drains and window wells.

Natural Pea Gravel, or 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel, is the rounded stone for walkways, play areas and dog runs. It sits loose underfoot rather than locking up.

Where a walk meets a bed, Large River Rock covers dry creek beds and swales. It is heavy enough to stay put when runoff crosses it.

New lots often come stripped to clay subsoil, so lawn and bed work starts with imported Top Soil. Add Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.

Questions About Ordering and Base Work

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it and pull out again. A dump truck tips the load in one pile, so leave room for that pile plus the turning space.

If a fence, gate or low wire is in the way, take care of it before the truck shows up.

What is the best base under pavers in Virgin?

Untreated base course, or UTBC, is the compacting layer under paver work here. Order it by top size, 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Bed the pavers themselves on crusher fines or washed sand, since the fines compact into a firm, even surface for the stone to sit on.
