Spring breakup decides the calendar here. Silty valley ground across the Western intermontane valleys has to dry out before it will compact, so crushed base course and road mix work waits on the ground.
Materials for Garrison Projects
Base and driveway surfacing is where most Garrison projects start. Crushed base course, also called 3/4 crushed base course or 3/4 minus, is the standard Montana base material.
It goes under driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. Order 3/4 Crushed Base Course when a surface needs to carry weight.
Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or driveway gravel, is the finished surface for a drive or a county-style lane. It carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller.
Order Driveway Gravel for the top of the drive. Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel, and it is not crushed.
It is for deep fill, raising grade and sub-base under a base course, never a finished driving surface. Order Pit Run when the grade has to come up first.
Fines-bearing ground needs somewhere for water to go. Washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines washed out, which is the whole point.
It is for French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Order Washed Rock for those runs.
Sand and soil round out a site. Washed sand, also called concrete sand or bedding sand, levels and beds flatwork and pavers.
Order Washed Sand for that work. Crusher fines, which Montana yards call screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways.
Screened topsoil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over thin or stony native ground. Order Top Soil for that.
Ground and Conditions in Garrison
Water is the whole story in these valleys. Lake-bed silt drains slowly and stays soft well into spring, while the river gravels beside it drain fast.
Snowmelt off the surrounding ranges runs high through May and June. A drive over silt needs a drainage layer, because water that cannot move down sits in the subgrade.
That is where washed rock and clean stone earn their place beside the base course. High water also brings bank scour, gully cutting in silt benches, and heavy runoff off burned ground after a fire summer.
Riprap, also called rip rap or armor rock, is coarse rock for stream bank and culvert outlet armoring, coulee and ditch protection, and slope work against spring runoff. Order Riprap for that.
Winter works the other way. Cold, comparatively dry valley winters bring hard overnight freezing and inversions that pool cold air on the valley floor, then chinook and midwinter thaws that cycle the ground and heave gravel surfaces.
Frost depth is about 36 inches where that figure is used in Missoula, with deeper figures at higher elevation. The local building department sets footing depth.
