Bulk Material Delivery in Glendive, MT

Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Glendive, MT. Crushed base course, the 3/4 minus material this part of Montana builds drives and pads from, is the starting point for most ground work.

So is washed rock for anything that has to move water.

Ground here is bentonite-rich gumbo clay weathered off marine shale. It swells when it wets up and cracks when it dries, so water sits on top instead of soaking away.

Materials for Glendive Projects

Washed stone is the answer to water that will not drain. Washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines washed out so water passes through instead of pooling.

It goes into French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

For a drywell or a downspout that has to carry water away from a foundation, clean stone is the whole point. Fines would seal the voids and stop the drain from working.

Washed Rock is sold for exactly that.

Above the drainage layer, crushed base course builds the surface. It is also called 3/4 crushed base course or 3/4 minus, and it is the standard Montana base material for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases.

3/4 Crushed Base Course packs into a firm, load-bearing surface.

Where the ground needs raising before any base goes down, pit run does the deep work. It is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill, raising grade and sub-base under a crushed base course or a road mix surface.

It is not a finished driving surface. Pit Run goes in first.

A finished drive in this country usually gets road mix on top. Montana road mix carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller, which is why it is also called driveway gravel.

Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or a county-style lane.

Smaller clean stone handles tighter work. 3/4 inch crushed rock goes into drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

3/4" Crushed Stone also surfaces over a compacted base.

For bedding and joints, crusher fines are what Montana yards call screenings. They bed pavers and flagstone and pack into pathway surfaces.

Stone Screenings fill that role.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, and mason sand serves brick and block work.

Screened topsoil covers thin or stony native ground for lawns and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Glendive

Work here follows dry ground. Spring breakup and heavy rain make gumbo roads impassable, and midsummer through early autumn is the dependable window.

Time a delivery to that window.

Gumbo is the driver behind most drainage work. Bentonite clay turns greasy as soon as it wets up, so water sits on the surface and unsurfaced roads go soft.

Cloudbursts run straight off into the coulees.

That is why a drainage layer belongs under a drive or a pad. Washed rock under the base gives water somewhere to go instead of trapping it against clay.

Erosion follows the same pattern across the Eastern plains, Missouri Breaks and badlands. Fast gully and rill cutting shows up in shale and clay ground, and banks scour where runoff concentrates.

Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, coulees and ditches against spring runoff.

Winters are cold and dry with deep frost and wide swings between day and night. Ground that thaws on a chinook afternoon and refreezes overnight heaves gravel roads and opens up drives.
