Bulk Material Delivery in Washington, UT

Start with untreated base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads, slabs and paver work.

From there, the ground tells you what else the job needs.

Materials for Washington Projects

Drainage is the place to start on this ground. Washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs all move water away from a slab or a footing, and each one wants a different size stone.

Drain rock, which Utah yards also call washed rock or 3/4 inch washed rock, is the clean stone for French drains, footing and foundation drains, window wells, drywells and downspout runs. It is washed, so the voids stay open and water keeps moving.

Where a smaller washed stone fits tighter, 3/8 inch crushed stone, also called 3/8 inch chip, handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. It also works as a thin topping over a compacted base.

For heavier drainage, #4 crushed stone goes into trench bottoms and construction entrances. #57 stone and #67 stone sit between the two sizes and handle drainage and concrete aggregate work.

Riprap, also called riprap or rock riprap, armors wash banks, culvert outlets, irrigation ditch banks and cut slopes against flash runoff. Large river rock, or 4 to 6 inch cobble, does similar work in dry creek beds and swales.

Under all of it, untreated base course is the compacting base. Order it by top size, 3/4 inch minus or 1 1/2 inch minus, and the yard ticket matches the plan.

On top, crusher fines, also called screenings or pathway chat, surface paths and trails and bed pavers and flagstone. Natural Pea Gravel, or 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and pipe surround.

Sand and soil round out a job. Washed sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs, mason sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and screened topsoil starts a lawn on ground that is often stripped to clay subsoil.

Ground and Conditions in Washington

This part of the state runs close to a year-round working season, with summer heat rather than frost setting the limit. That means you can time a delivery to the job rather than to a thaw.

Across the Southwest Utah ground, from the St. George basin to the Escalante Desert, the soil is sandy and gravelly over red sandstone and volcanic rock, with heavy expansive clay in places.

It is alkaline and low in organic matter, so imported topsoil and garden soil do the work native ground cannot.

Summer monsoon cloudbursts and winter frontal rain fall on ground that takes in very little. The washes rise fast, and clay ground holds water under slabs and flatwork.

That is why drainage stone matters here. A clean washed stone under a downspout run or in a French drain gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a footing.

Erosion follows the same pattern: flash flooding in the washes, sheet flow off bare desert slopes and alluvial fans, and wind moving loose sandy ground. Riprap and large cobble hold banks and swales where smaller stone would move.
