Materials for Conner Projects
Base and driveway surfacing starts with crushed base course, also called 3/4 crushed base course or 3/4 minus. It is the standard Montana base material, ordered by top size, and it builds the compacted layer under a drive, a shop pad, a parking area or a shed base.
3/4 Crushed Base Course goes down as that structural layer, not as the finished look.
For the driving surface itself, road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or driveway gravel, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller. Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or a county-style lane.
Under both of them, pit run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade. Pit Run sits below a crushed base course, never as the finished surface.
Where water has to move, washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines washed out so it stays open. Washed Rock fills French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, and Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints.
Top Soil builds up lawns and beds over thin, stony native ground.
Ground and Conditions in Conner
Snowmelt off the surrounding ranges runs high through May and June, and it has to go somewhere. Across the Western intermontane valleys, lake-bed silt drains slowly and stays soft well into spring, while the river gravels beside it drain fast.
On a silt bench, water sits in the top layer of a drive and turns it soft.
That is where a washed stone drainage layer earns its place, and where the base material under a pad has to be the right one. Silt ground also has to dry out before it will compact, so spring breakup sets the working window.
The season runs from breakup into late fall, which is long enough by Montana standards.
Valley winters bring hard overnight freezing and inversions that pool cold air on the floor, then chinook and midwinter thaws that cycle the ground and heave gravel surfaces. Frost depth is about 36 inches in Missoula, with deeper figures at higher elevation.
The local building department sets footing depth, so check with Ravalli County before you build.
High water also scours banks and cuts gullies in silt benches, and burned ground sheds heavy runoff after a fire summer. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, coulees and ditches against that spring push.
Riprap is the heavy coarse rock for that kind of slope and channel work.
