Materials for Reserve Projects
Fill and sub-base come first on most ground here, because grade has to be raised before a surface goes down. Fill dirt builds up a pad or backfills around a foundation.
Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base under a base course or a road mix surface, not a finished driving surface.
Once grade is set, crushed base course, also called 3/4 minus, goes down as the compacted base for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. It is the standard Montana base material, usually ordered by top size.
For a driveway surface, road mix carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller. For a walkway or garden path, walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive.
Drainage work calls for washed rock, where washing the fines out is the whole point. It suits French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
Ground and Conditions in Reserve
Across the Hi-Line and the northern glaciated plains, the ground is glacial till over shale, a mix of clay, gravel, sand and silt left by ice and glacial lakes. Much of it is heavy and slow-draining, with coulee and river-bottom alluvium cut down through it.
Flat ground and heavy till drain slowly, and snowmelt ponds on subsoil that is still frozen. An under-built base on that ground will not hold up, so the fill and sub-base under it have to be right.
Wind moves bare ground, sheet and gully erosion cut the coulees, and banks get cut along the way. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and ditch work against spring runoff.
The working season is short. Frost is in the ground from late autumn into spring, and compaction waits for it to come out.
Some of the coldest winters in the state bring deep frost, long cold spells and chinook thaws that cycle the surface without taking the frost fully out until spring.
Questions About Material in Reserve
What is the best base under pavers in Reserve?
Crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, is the compacted base under a paver patio. Crusher fines, which Montana yards call screenings, bed the pavers on top of it and pack into the joints.
Washed sand also works as a leveling and bedding layer under flatwork and pavers.
