What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, with broken faces that bite and lock in place. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded, so it stays loose and moves underfoot. Use crushed stone for drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances, where clean stone has to pass water. Use Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas and pipe surround, where a rounded, comfortable surface is wanted.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Either works. The ton is a weight and the yard is a volume, and the choice depends on how your numbers come out. Every product page carries a calculator, and you enter your quantity there before checkout. Order by the ton or by the yard, whichever fits the figures you already have.

Which stone is best for drainage in Wasatch County?

Washed stone is the answer, because fines block water. Drain rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone handle French drains, footing drains and window wells. Riprap armors wash banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks against fast snowmelt runoff. For paver joints and tight bedding, use a smaller washed stone.

Wasatch County Untreated Base Course and Gravel Delivery, UT

Utah Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate in Wasatch County, UT. Snowmelt runs hard off the slopes here and saturates the valley bottoms while the subsoil is still frozen, so water has to have somewhere to go before anything gets built on top of it.

Untreated base course, the material Utah yards shorten to UTBC, is the compacted layer most driveways, parking pads and slab bases start from.

Coarse stone handles drainage and heavy ground. Finer material beds, surfaces and finishes.

Untreated base course carries the most weight in a build, because the base decides how the surface above it holds up.

Untreated base course is the layer under a driveway, parking pad, shed base or paver field. Utah plans and submittals call it untreated base course, and it takes the loads the surface above it passes down.

Order it by top size, 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus.

Crusher Run is a crushed, self-binding material for drives and pads. Utah yards normally say untreated base course or road base for this work, so treat the two as the same job.

For paths, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface. Large River Rock covers dry creek beds and swales, where smaller stone would move in flash runoff.

Sand and soil round out a build. Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs, Fill Dirt raises grade before a base goes down, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Ground conditions across Wasatch County

Across the Wasatch Back and the mountain valleys, the ground runs thin and stony over bedrock on the slopes. Valley bottoms carry stream and glacial gravel, and old meadow and lake ground hides pockets of heavy clay.

Rock sits close to the surface in a lot of places, which decides how deep anything can be dug. Clay pockets hold water instead of passing it, so drainage matters more there than the surface material does.

Snowmelt dominates the water year. A deep snowpack releases over a few weeks and saturates the valley bottoms while the subsoil is still frozen, and steep ground sheds fast onto the floors and driveways below.

That runoff gullies cut slopes and driveways, scours stream banks in the mountain creeks, and carries soil off bare construction ground. Riprap on banks, culvert outlets and ditch lines answers the fast water.

The building season is short. Compaction is not practical on frozen ground, so base and paver work is squeezed into late spring through early autumn, and gravel drives take a beating from plowing all winter.

Freeze-thaw is severe as the ground opens in spring. Summit County carries a 36 inch frost depth as of the 7/1/2026 design criteria, and each jurisdiction sets its own figure.

Wasatch County has no published figure here.

Choosing the right material

Summit County sits in the same ground region as Wasatch County, so the thin stony slopes, valley gravel and clay pockets are the same story there. Base and drainage choices carry across both.

Utah County is different ground. Lake Bonneville sorted those valleys, so sand and gravel sit in the benches and in the deltas at the canyon mouths, while finer silt and clay lie out on the valley floor.

Those soils are alkaline and low in organic matter, and new lots are commonly stripped to clay subsoil before anything is built. That pushes Utah County work toward imported topsoil and a drainage layer, the same reasoning Wasatch County clay pockets call for.
