Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Gardiner, MT
Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gardiner, MT, and the material this market builds on is crushed base course, also called 3/4 minus. It is the standard Montana base for driveways, shop pads and shed bases.
Ground here is often thin and stony over rock, so a pad or a drive usually starts with fill and sub-base before any surface goes down.

Materials for Gardiner Projects
Fill and sub-base do the heavy work on most builds here. Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill, and it raises grade before a base course goes down.
Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base under a crushed base course. It is not a finished driving surface.
Once grade is where you want it, 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the compacted base for a drive, a shop pad or a parking area. For the driving surface itself, Driveway Gravel, sold locally as 3/4 road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard.
What to order for a driveway
Pit run goes in first where the ground needs building up. Crushed base course follows as the structural layer, and road mix is the surface you drive on.
What to order for a patio or walkway
Stone Screenings, called crusher fines here, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed paths. Washed Sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers.
What to order for a drain
Washed Rock is the clean drainage stone for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the point. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and ditches against runoff.
Ground and Conditions in Gardiner
Across the Southwest and south-central mountain valleys, the ground runs from gravelly alluvium on the basin floors to clay-rich basin fill in places and thin stony soils over rock on the ranges.
Gravel takes water readily. Clay-rich fill does not, so an under-built base on clay ground shows it fast.
Snowmelt off the Great Divide, sudden summer thunderstorms on dry ground and irrigation ditches crossing valley floors all put water into the ground. Spring runoff and bank scour work on stream banks, and burned slopes above can send gullying and debris flows down.
The working season is short. Base, driveway and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn on the valley floors and shorter again on high ground.
Hard overnight freezing with a daytime thaw runs through much of the year at these elevations, so frost heave in drives and roads is a normal condition rather than only a spring event. Frost depth figures are set by the local building department.
Questions About Ordering in Gardiner
What is the best base under pavers in Gardiner?
Crushed base course, sold here as 3/4 minus, is the structural layer under pavers, and it is what a compacted base means in Montana. Above it, crusher fines or washed sand bed the pavers themselves.
On clay-rich ground, the base matters more, because water that will not pass through the clay has to be handled before the pavers go down.
