Materials for Hamilton Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the job that comes first on a lot in the Bitterroot. Get the fill and sub-base right and everything above it has something to sit on.

Start with Fill Dirt for bulk fill, backfill and raising grade before a base course goes down. Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel, used for deep fill and sub-base under a crushed base course rather than as a finished driving surface.

For the base itself, order 3/4 Crushed Base Course. It is the standard Montana base material for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases, and it is usually ordered by top size as 3/4 minus.

On top of that base, Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or a county-style lane. Montana road mix carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller.

Drainage is its own order. Washed Rock goes in French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the whole point.

For flatwork and bed prep, Top Soil is screened and goes over thin or stony native ground. Washed Sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Hamilton

Across the Western intermontane valleys, the valley floors carry glacial lake silt and clay, with coarse sand and gravel outwash and alluvial fans along the rivers. Shallow stony ground sits on the benches and mountain fronts.

That silt drains slowly and stays soft well into spring. River gravels beside it drain fast, which is why two lots a short distance apart can behave nothing alike under a truck.

An under-built base is what fails on silt ground. Water stalls in the fines, the surface pumps and rutting follows, no matter what was spread on top.

Erosion follows the same pattern: bank scour at high water, gully cutting in silt benches, and heavy runoff off burned ground after a fire summer. Riprap armors culvert outlets, ditch lines and slopes against spring runoff.

The working season runs from breakup into late fall, long enough by Montana standards. Silty valley ground has to dry out before it will compact, and valley winters bring hard overnight freezing and inversions that pool cold air on the floor, then chinook thaws that cycle the ground and heave gravel surfaces.

Footing depth is set by the local building department.

Questions from Hamilton Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Hamilton?

Use 3/4 Crushed Base Course as the structural base, ordered by top size as 3/4 minus. Bed the pavers themselves in crusher fines, which yards here call Stone Screenings, for paver and flagstone bedding.

On silt ground, the base has to carry the load, because lake-bed silt will not. Order the base by the ton or the yard online.
