Materials for Belfry Projects
Raising grade and building pads is the work that comes first on most sites around here, and that is fill and sub-base territory. Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill, the material that brings a low spot or a building pad up before anything goes over it.
Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and for sub-base under a crushed base course or a road mix surface. It is not a finished driving surface, and it is not crushed.
Once grade is set, 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the compacted base for drives, shop pads and shed bases. For the drive surface itself, Driveway Gravel, also called road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard.
Drainage and flatwork call for different material. Washed Rock is clean stone for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the point.
Stone Screenings, or crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed paths.
Ground and Conditions in Belfry
Across the Yellowstone Valley and the Beartooth foothills, the ground runs from free-draining river gravel on the bottoms to slow clay and shale on the rims and benches. That clay and shale holds water instead of passing it.
An under-built base over that ground moves, and the surface above it follows.
Water arrives from irrigation return flow, snowmelt off the Beartooths, and cloudburst storms that overload the coulees. Bank scour at spring high water and gullying on the shale rims are the erosion side of the same problem.
A drainage layer of clean washed rock gives that water somewhere to go.
Winters here bring chinooks off the Beartooths, so thaw and refreeze comes often rather than as one long frozen spell, and frost heave works on drives through the season.
Frost depth figures quoted for Billings and the surrounding plains run about 36 to 42 inches, with deeper figures on the higher ground south toward Red Lodge. The local building department sets footing depth.
The working season on the valley floor runs from early spring into late autumn and shortens quickly as you climb toward the Beartooth front. Grade work and pad work fit that window best.
Questions About Material in Belfry
What is the best base under pavers in Belfry?
Crushed base course, the 3/4 minus sold here by top size, is the compacted base under pavers. Over it, crusher fines or stone screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints.
On the shale-derived clay found on the rims and benches, a clean drainage layer below the base matters as much as the base itself.
