Materials for Glasgow Projects

Fill and sub-base work is where a lot of ground here starts, because pads and drives often need grade raised before anything goes on top. Fill dirt handles bulk fill, backfill and raising grade on a building pad.

Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base under a crushed base course or a road mix surface. It is not a finished driving surface.

Once grade is where you want it, crushed base course goes down as the compacted base for a drive, a shop pad or a parking area. It is the standard Montana base material, usually ordered by top size as 3/4 minus.

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.

Drainage and finish work use different stone. Washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, goes in French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

For a patio or a paver walk, crusher fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways. Washed sand levels and beds flatwork and pavers.

For beds and borders, shredded mulch holds on slopes and in wind better than nuggets, which matters on open ground. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and coulees against spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Glasgow

Across the Hi-Line and the northern glaciated plains, the ground is glacial till over shale, a mix of clay, gravel, sand and silt left by ice and glacial lakes. Much of it is heavy and slow-draining.

Flat ground and heavy till drain slowly, and snowmelt ponds on subsoil that is still frozen. A base built over that ground has to account for water that has nowhere to go.

Wind moves bare ground, and sheet and gully erosion cut into the coulees. A surface that stays covered and a drainage layer that stays clean both help here.

The working season is short. Frost is in the ground from late autumn into spring, and compaction waits for it to come out.
