Ground and Conditions in Ledger
Ground across the Hi-Line and the northern glaciated plains is glacial till over shale. It runs heavy with clay, gravel, sand and silt, and it drains slowly.
A thin base course over that ground shows the failure first at the edges. Water sits in the subsoil, the surface breaks up, and the drive ruts where tires track.
Flat ground makes it worse. Snowmelt ponds on subsoil that is still frozen, and a semi-arid year breaks open with a few intense summer storms.
Frost is in the ground from late autumn into spring on this side of the state. Compaction waits for it to come out, and the working season is short.
Wind moves bare ground, coulees cut and gully, and spring runoff works on banks. Figures published across Montana put frost depth from about 36 to 60 inches, and the northern plains sit at the deep end of that range.
The local building department sets footing depth. Keep that figure out of base depth decisions.
Materials for Ledger Projects
Fines and screenings do the fine work in Ledger yards. Stone Screenings, which Montana yards call crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a pathway surface.
Walkway work starts there. Walkway Gravel gives a garden path a finer, walkable surface than a drive, and it stays tight underfoot.
3/4 Crushed Base Course is the standard Montana base material, usually ordered by top size as 3/4 minus. It goes under driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases.
Under that base, Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill, raising grade and sub-base. It is not a finished driving surface and it is not crushed.
For a drive or a county-style lane, Driveway Gravel is the local road mix. It carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller.
Washed Rock, called drain rock or 3/4 clean, goes in french drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point.
Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin or stony native ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas where native clay or gravel will not do alone.
For decorative beds and dry creek beds, Yellowstone River Rock is rounded river-washed stone, the usual alternative to bark in a dry climate. Large River Rock takes the heavier decorative and erosion work.
Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, coulees, ditches and slopes against spring runoff.

Questions About Ordering in Ledger
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
Have the delivery point clear and reachable by a dump truck. Mark any overhead lines, and keep vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way.
The truck tips the load in one pile, so the spot you choose is where the material lands. Soft ground, deep snow and mud can stop a loaded truck from reaching the spot at all, so plan the approach before the delivery date.
What is the best base under pavers in Ledger?
Crushed base course is the compacted base for paver work here, with crusher fines bedding the pavers on top. Glacial till over shale drains slowly across the Hi-Line and the northern glaciated plains, and snowmelt ponds on subsoil that is still frozen.
That ground moves when the frost comes out, so the base has to carry the load. Stone Screenings are the bedding layer.
