Materials for Sand Springs Projects
Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. The native ground here is bentonite-rich gumbo clay weathered off marine shale, so a lawn or a planting bed needs material brought in over it rather than worked into it.
Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin or stony ground. Spread it where native clay or gravel will not support seed.
Garden Soil is a garden mix for raised beds and planting areas. Use it where native clay or gravel will not do on its own.
Fill Dirt handles bulk fill, backfill and raising grade before a base course goes down. It builds the level pad that everything else sits on.
Below the soil, base and surfacing materials carry the traffic.
- 3/4 Crushed Base Course, also called 3/4 minus, for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases.
- Driveway Gravel, or 3/4 road mix, for surfacing a drive or a county-style lane.
- Washed Rock, or 3/4 clean, for French drains, curtain drains and downspout runs.
- Stone Screenings, or crusher fines, for paver and flagstone bedding and packed pathways.
Sand and decorative stone round out the yard work. Mason Sand suits brick and block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand levels and beds flatwork and pavers.
Yellowstone River Rock fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Shredded Mulch holds on slopes and in wind better than nuggets.
Ground and Conditions in Sand Springs
Water is the driver in this part of the state. Gumbo clay swells and turns greasy as soon as it wets up, then cracks open when it dries, so water sits on the surface instead of soaking away.
Unsurfaced roads go soft after rain, and cloudbursts run straight off into the coulees. Across the Eastern plains, Missouri Breaks and badlands, that same gumbo is why drainage material matters as much as surface material.
Washed rock and Crushed Stone give water somewhere to go. Fines-bearing material like crushed base course packs hard, which is what a drive or a pad wants, but it is not a drainage layer.
Erosion follows the water. Fast gully and rill cutting shows up in shale and clay badlands, and banks scour where runoff concentrates.
Riprap and large river rock armor those spots.
Work follows dry ground. Spring breakup and heavy rain make gumbo roads impassable, so midsummer and early autumn are the dependable window for a delivery.
Winters run cold and dry with deep frost and wide day-to-night swings. Ground that thaws on a chinook afternoon and refreezes overnight heaves gravel roads and opens up drives.

What stone should I use for drainage in Sand Springs?
Use washed rock, also called 3/4 clean, for French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point, because gumbo clay here holds water on the surface.
For drainage beds and pipe bedding, 3/4 inch crushed rock works. Both are clean stone, so water moves through instead of sitting.
