Materials for Biddle Projects
Raising grade is where most Biddle work begins. Low spots and soft ground need fill and sub-base before any finished surface goes down.
Fill dirt goes down first when a pad or a shop floor needs to come up to grade. Pit run handles the deeper fill under a road mix surface, and it stays unprocessed on purpose.
For the finished drive, 3/4 crushed base course or road mix. Road mix carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard.
Washed rock is the clean drainage stone, with the fines washed out so water moves.
Building a patio or a paver walk comes down to the bed. Stone screenings, called crusher fines in Montana yards, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed paths.
Washed sand beds flatwork and pavers, and mason sand handles brick and block work and paver joints.
Decorative work is a different order. Yellowstone river rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders, and shredded mulch holds on open ground better than nuggets.
Riprap armors a culvert outlet or a ditch bank against runoff.
Ground and Conditions in Biddle
Bentonite-rich gumbo clay covers this part of the state. It swells when wet and cracks when dry, so water sits on the surface instead of soaking in.
An under-built base fails on that ground. An unsurfaced road goes soft after a rain, and a drive over fill that was never brought to grade moves with it.
Erosion follows the same pattern. Shale and clay ground cuts fast gullies and rills, and cloudbursts run straight off into the coulees.
Work follows dry ground. Spring breakup and heavy rain make gumbo roads impassable, so midsummer and early autumn are the dependable window.
Winters run cold and dry with deep frost and wide swings between day and night. Ground that thaws on a chinook afternoon and refreezes overnight heaves gravel roads and opens up drives, which is why the base matters more than the surface.
