Materials for Black Eagle Projects
Start with the project. A bed, a border or a dry creek bed wants rounded stone, and Yellowstone River Rock is the usual answer.
It is river-washed and rounded, so it sits well as ground cover and reads clean against native ground.
Large River Rock does the heavier decorative and erosion work: dry creek beds, splash pads under downspouts and border runs. For a walkway or a dog run, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a rounded, walkable surface.
For a driveway or a shop pad, crushed base course, also called 3/4 minus, is the standard Montana base material. Driveway Gravel, or road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard as a driving surface.
For drainage, Washed Rock has the fines washed out, which is the point. It suits French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
Stone Screenings, or crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways.
Ground and Conditions in Black Eagle
Central Montana benchlands and island ranges carry deep silty and clayey prairie soils, gravelly terraces and shallow stony ground. Clay subgrades soften as soon as they wet up, so an under-built base shows it fast.
Spring snowmelt runs across ground that is still frozen underneath, and heavy summer thunderstorms drop water on open benchland. Wind moves soil on open ground, and silt and clay slopes gully.
Cold inland winters cut by chinooks freeze the ground hard, thaw it and refreeze it. Gravel roads soften and rut each time it cycles, which is why a fines-bearing road mix packs hard where a clean stone will not.
Work runs from breakup into autumn, and the benchland dries out quickly once spring runoff is past. Frost depth is about 42 inches in Great Falls; the local building department sets footing depth.
