River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Jordan, MT
Montana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Jordan, MT to jobs across Garfield County. This ground is gumbo clay weathered off marine shale, and it swells when it wets and cracks open when it dries.
Water sits on that surface instead of soaking in, so a drive here begins with crushed base course, the material local yards call 3/4 minus.
Materials for Jordan Projects
Water is the problem this ground hands you, so start with stone that has had the fines washed out of it. Washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, is the material for French drains, curtain drains and foundation drains.
Washing the fines away is the whole point, because a clean open stone lets water move instead of holding it. Washed Rock also handles downspout runs and drywells, where roof water needs somewhere to go.
Size matters when you are choosing stone for drainage. 3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
3/8" Crushed Stone works for fine drainage and trench bedding, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded stone for walkways, dog runs and play areas.
For a drive surface, road mix is the Montana answer. It carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller, which is what a lane needs in a dry climate.
Below that, Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade, and Fill Dirt does the same work where bulk fill and backfill are needed.
River rock rounds out the yard. Yellowstone River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles heavier decorative and erosion work.
For planting, Top Soil goes over thin or stony native ground, and Garden Soil feeds raised beds where native clay will not do on its own.

Ground and Conditions in Jordan
Work here follows dry ground. Across the Eastern plains, Missouri Breaks and badlands, spring breakup and heavy rain make gumbo roads impassable, and midsummer into early autumn is the dependable window.
That timing matters when you are picking a delivery date, because a truck needs ground it can cross. Bentonite clay swells and turns greasy as soon as it wets up, and cloudbursts run straight off into the coulees.
Cold, dry winters bring deep frost and wide day-to-night swings. Ground that thaws on a chinook afternoon and refreezes overnight heaves gravel roads and opens up drives, which is why a base course earns its place here.
Erosion follows the same pattern. Shale and clay badlands cut fast gullies and rills, and Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and coulee banks against spring runoff.

You order online by the ton or by the yard, size the load with the calculator on the product page, and pick your delivery date at checkout.
What gravel is best for a driveway in Jordan?
It depends on which layer you are buying. Crushed base course builds the compacted base, and road mix, or driveway gravel, surfaces the drive and packs hard under a roller.
In this gumbo clay country, water sitting on the surface is the real driver, so a clean washed stone for drainage is worth considering alongside the base material.
