Ground and Conditions in Lincoln
Ground across the Western intermontane valleys runs to silt and clay on the valley floors. Coarse sand and gravel outwash sits along the rivers, and the benches and mountain fronts stay shallow and stony.
That mix decides what a thin base does here. A paver patio or a slab laid on too little material over soft silt moves, because the fines under it hold water and stay soft well into spring.
The fix is a bedding and base layer that will not shift when the ground beneath it works. Washed sand beds the flatwork, stone screenings bed pavers, and crushed base course goes underneath both.
Snowmelt off the surrounding ranges keeps water moving into May and June. Silt ground has to dry out before it will compact, so the working season runs from breakup into late fall.
Valley winters bring hard overnight freezing and chinook thaws that cycle the ground. Where a footing depth is needed, the local building department sets it.
Materials for Lincoln Projects
Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the part of a project that decides how the finished surface holds up. Order the bedding first and let the base and drainage follow it.
Washed Sand is concrete sand and bedding sand. It levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, giving a surface that will not settle unevenly under the stone.
Stone Screenings are crusher fines, the name Montana yards use. Use them to bed flagstone and pavers and to surface a packed path.
Mason Sand is masonry sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. It is the finer, cleaner sand for jointing and mortar.
Under the bedding, 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the standard Montana base, also called 3/4 minus. It carries driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases, and it belongs under patios and walkways too.
For a drive or a county-style lane, Driveway Gravel is the local road mix, a 3/4 road mix with enough fines and clay binder to pack hard. Where water has to move, Washed Rock is the 3/4 clean stone for French drains, curtain drains and downspout runs.

Questions About Gravel in Lincoln
What gravel is best for a driveway in Lincoln?
Crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, is the base for a driveway here, and road mix is the surface. Road mix carries fines and clay binder that pack hard under a roller.
On soft silt ground, both go over a stable base rather than straight onto the native soil.
