Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Hobson, MT
Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hobson, MT for grading, bed prep and drive work. If you are building up a low spot, bedding a patio, or topping a lane, the material you start with decides how the rest goes.
Crushed base course is the standard base here, and it is usually ordered as 3/4 minus. On the Central Montana benchlands and island ranges, the ground underneath is often the harder problem than the surface.
Materials for Hobson Projects
Grading and bed prep come first on most ground in this county. That work starts with soil and fill, then moves to the base and surface material that sits on top of it.
Top Soil is screened and goes down for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin or stony native ground. Where native clay or gravel will not grow anything on its own, Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.
Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill for raising grade before a base course goes down. Pit run, sold as Pit Run, is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base under a crushed base or road mix surface.
For the base itself, 3/4 Crushed Base Course packs hard under a roller and suits driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. Driveway Gravel, or 3/4 road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to surface a drive or a county-style lane.
Water has to go somewhere. Washed Rock is washed clean of fines for French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
3/4" Crushed Stone works in drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers.
Yellowstone River Rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds where bark will not hold in wind.
Ground and Conditions in Hobson
Water drives the decisions on this ground. Across the Central Montana benchlands and island ranges, clay subgrades soften as soon as they wet up, and spring snowmelt runs across ground that is still frozen underneath.
Heavy summer thunderstorms on open benchland add to it. A drive or pad that lets water sit will lose its shape, so a clean drainage layer under the surface matters as much as the surface itself.
Erosion shows up in different ways out here: wind on open farmland, gullying on silt and clay slopes, and bank cutting along the rivers. Riprap and large round rock armor the spots where moving water does the damage.
Cold inland winters cut by chinooks freeze the ground hard, thaw it, and refreeze it repeatedly. Gravel roads soften and rut each time it cycles, which is why a fines-bearing base that packs tight holds up better than loose stone.
Work runs from breakup into autumn, and the benchland dries out quickly once spring runoff is past. Footing depth is set by the local building department, so check with them before you pour.

What stone should I use for drainage in Hobson?
Washed rock is the clean drainage stone, with the fines washed out so water moves through it. It suits French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
For drainage beds and pipe bedding, 3/4" crushed stone is a good fit. Both work where clay subgrades and spring melt need a path for water.
