Pit Run, Stone and Soil Delivery in Pompeys Pillar, MT
Montana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pompeys Pillar, MT, by the ton. Crushed base course, the 3/4 minus that Montana calls the standard base, is the starting point for drives, shop pads and shed bases here.
The ground around town runs from free-draining river gravel on the bottoms to slow clay and shale on the rims and benches. That split decides what a drive, a drain or a pad needs.
Materials for Pompeys Pillar Projects
Water is the reason most material decisions get made here. Snowmelt and cloudburst storms overload the coulees, so clean washed stone that lets water pass is the first thing to sort out on a lot with drainage trouble.
Washed Rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, is the open stone for French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point of it.
3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone covers fine drainage and trench bedding.
For anything that carries traffic, crushed base course is the compacted layer under it. 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the Montana base material, specified by top size.
Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade, not a driving surface.
Driveway Gravel, or 3/4 road mix, is the surface layer for a drive or a county-style lane, with enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed paths.
Top Soil goes over thin or stony native ground for lawns and beds. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch banks against spring runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Pompeys Pillar
The valley floor gives you one of the longer working seasons in the state, running from early spring into late autumn. That season shortens quickly as you climb toward the Beartooth front, so timing a delivery around the ground you are working on matters.
Across the Yellowstone Valley and the Beartooth foothills, free-draining river gravel on the bottoms sits against slow clay and shale on the rims and benches. Water moves fast in one place and stalls in the other.
Winters here bring chinooks off the Beartooths, which means repeated thaw and refreeze rather than one long frozen spell. That drives frost heave in drives through the winter.
Figures quoted for Billings and the surrounding plains run about 36 to 42 inches, and the local building department sets footing depth.
Spring high water scours banks, and fast runoff off steep ground gullies the shale rims. Washed rock and riprap are the materials that answer that, and a clean drainage layer under a base keeps water from sitting in it.
