Materials for Silver Star Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the first job on a lot that sits low or uneven. Nothing goes on top of an under-built sub-base and stays put.

Fill and sub-base do the lifting before any finished surface arrives.

Start with Fill Dirt for bulk fill and backfill, or Pit Run where the lift needs unprocessed pit gravel under a crushed base course or a road mix surface. Pit run is not a finished driving surface.

For the pad itself, 3/4 Crushed Base Course is the standard Montana base, also called 3/4 minus or crushed base. It goes under driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases.

Where the surface is what matters, 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.

Around the buildings, Washed Rock handles French drains, curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the whole point.

Ground and Conditions in Silver Star

Ground across the Southwest and south-central mountain valleys runs to gravelly alluvium and outwash on the basin floors, with clay-rich basin fill in places and thin stony soils over rock on the ranges.

Gravel basin fill takes water readily. Clay-rich fill does not, and a base built over it without a drainage layer holds that water instead of shedding it.

Water arrives as snowmelt off the Great Divide, sudden summer thunderstorms on dry ground, and irrigation ditches crossing valley floors. Spring runoff and bank scour work on the Jefferson, Madison, Gallatin and upper Yellowstone, and burned slopes above the valleys send gullying and debris flows down.

Frost heave in drives and roads is a normal condition at these elevations, not only a spring event. Hard overnight freezing with a daytime thaw runs through much of the year.

Footing depth is set by the local building department.

Work on valley floors runs from late spring into early autumn. It shortens at Big Sky, West Yellowstone and along the Divide, so base, driveway and paver jobs go in while the ground is open.
