3/8 Inch Crushed Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Glen, MT
Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Glen, MT, and the loads start with sizing. Each product page has a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.
Crushed base course is the standard base material here, usually ordered as 3/4 minus. On ground that runs gravelly in places and clay-rich in others, drainage is the part worth planning first.
Materials for Glen Projects
Water is the thing that moves ground in this valley, so washed stone is where a lot of work starts. Washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines washed out on purpose.
That makes it the right stone for French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Water passes through the open voids instead of sitting against a wall or under a slab.
3/8 inch crushed rock, called chip rock locally, does the same job at a smaller scale. Use it for fine drainage, trench bedding, and a tight topping over a compacted base.
For drywells and downspout splash work, the size of the stone sets how fast water moves. Natural Pea Gravel, sold as 3/8 Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, play areas and dog runs where rounded stone is wanted.
Base, Surface and Bedding Materials
Crushed base course, or 3/4 minus, is the compacted base for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade under a base.
Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or driveway gravel, surfaces a drive or a county-style lane. It carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller.
Crusher fines, which Montana yards call screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways. Washed sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, and acts as concrete sand.

Ground and Conditions in Glen
This is high basin country, and the working season is short. Base, driveway and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn on the valley floors.
Timing a delivery matters for that reason. Ground that is still thawing will not take a truck or a compacted base the way dry summer ground does.
Across the Southwest and south-central mountain valleys, the ground runs from gravelly alluvium to clay-rich basin fill, with thin stony soils over rock on the ranges. Gravel takes water readily; clay-rich fill does not.
Snowmelt off the Great Divide and sudden summer thunderstorms on dry ground both put water where it has to go somewhere. That is why drainage stone and a properly built base matter more here than in wetter country.
Hard overnight freezing with a daytime thaw runs through much of the year at these elevations, so frost heave in drives is a normal condition rather than only a spring event. Local footing depth is set by the building department.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Glen?
Crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, is the compacted base for a drive. Road mix, or 3/4 road mix, goes over it as the driving surface because it carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard.
On ground that holds water, washed rock in a drain run helps move it away from the drive.
