Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Nye, MT
Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Nye, MT, with online ordering and bulk loads tipped at your site. Crushed base course, also called 3/4 minus, is the standard Montana base material for driveways, shop pads and parking areas.
Ground here is often thin and stony over rock, with gravelly alluvium on the valley floors. That makes a compacted base the difference between a drive that holds up and one that rutts.
Delivery to Nye and the Surrounding Area
You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.
Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site. The load arrives as one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the truck clear of fences, power drops and overhead lines.
Nye sits in Stillwater County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Columbus, Park City, Absarokee, Reed Point and Fishtail.
Materials for Nye Projects
Fill and sub-base do the heavy lifting on most ground here. Where native ground is thin and stony, or a pad needs to come up to grade, the work starts below the surface you see.
Raising grade and building pads
Fill Dirt is bulk fill for backfill and raising grade before a base course goes down. It builds the elevation so the layers above it have something to sit on.
Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base under a crushed base course or a road mix surface. It is not a finished driving surface.
Once grade is set, 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the compacted layer for drives, shop pads and shed bases. It is specified locally by top size as 3/4 minus.
Driveways and lanes
Driveway Gravel, or 3/4 road mix, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller. It surfaces a drive or a county-style lane.
3/4" Crushed Stone is clean, so it drains. Use it for drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances, or as surfacing over a compacted base.
Drainage and water
Washed Rock, also called drain rock, has the fines washed out. That is the point in French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
Riprap is armor rock for stream bank and culvert outlet work, coulee and ditch protection, and slope work against spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Nye
Across the Southwest and south-central mountain valleys, the ground runs to gravelly alluvium and outwash on the basin floors, clay-rich basin fill in places, and thin stony soils over rock on the ranges that ring them.
Gravelly ground takes water readily. Clay-rich ground does not, and water that cannot get through sits under a base and works on it.
Snowmelt off the Great Divide and sudden summer thunderstorms on dry ground both move a lot of water at once. Spring runoff and bank scour drive the erosion work, along with gullying and debris flows off burned slopes.
Frost heave in drives and roads is a normal condition here, not only a spring event. Hard overnight freezing with a daytime thaw runs through much of the year at these elevations.
The season is short. Base, driveway and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn on the valley floors, and shorter again on high ground.
Order Crushed Base Course and Fill in Nye
Crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, is the material that turns graded ground into a surface that holds. Fill dirt and pit run build the grade underneath it.
