Pea Gravel for Pathways in Broadview, MT
Montana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Broadview, MT to whatever you are building this season. A new shop pad starts with crushed base course, and a garden path starts with crusher fines.
Broadview sits in Yellowstone County on ground that runs from river terrace sand and gravel to silty loam benches and shale-derived clay on the rims and slopes. What you put down should match what is under it.
Ground and Conditions in Broadview
Across the Yellowstone Valley and the Beartooth foothills, the ground changes fast from free-draining river gravel on the bottoms to slow clay and shale on the rims and benches. That clay holds water instead of passing it.
A thin base over that ground shows the failure first. The surface pumps, ruts form, and the edges break away through the winter.
The fix is the right material and enough of it. A fines-bearing material like crusher fines or road mix packs hard and stays put, which is why it belongs under paths and over a prepared subgrade.
Winters here bring chinooks off the Beartooths, so you get thaw and refreeze rather than one long frozen spell. Frost heave in drives follows, and the building department sets footing depth for anything structural.
Spring runoff off the Beartooths and cloudburst storms both overload the coulees. Riprap and washed rock handle that water where it moves.
Materials for Broadview Projects
Crusher fines, which local yards also call screenings, do the detail work on paths and walkways. They bed pavers and flagstone and leave a packed surface that is easy to walk on.
For a walk that wants a finer finish than a drive, Walkway Gravel gives you a walkable surface without the coarse look of base rock.
The base under most of it is 3/4 Crushed Base Course, also called 3/4 minus. It goes under driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases, and it is how a compacted base is specified locally.
For a drive or a county-style lane, Driveway Gravel, or road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard. Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade, not a finished surface.
Where water needs to move, Washed Rock goes into French drains and downspout runs because the fines are washed out. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Questions About Aggregate in Broadview
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
A clear, reachable spot for the pile and enough room around it for a truck to turn and leave. Mark anything you do not want buried, such as sprinkler heads or shallow lines.
The driver tips the load in one pile, so choose the spot where you want the material to sit for the work ahead.
What is the best base under pavers in Broadview?
Crusher fines, which local yards call screenings, are the bedding material for pavers and flagstone. Under that, crushed base course gives you a compacted base that holds up over the silty loam and shale-derived clay found on the benches and rims across the Yellowstone Valley and the Beartooth foothills.
