What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, open and reachable for a dump truck. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not spread it. Mark nothing for the driver and expect no placement. If a gate, low wire or overhead branch sits on the route, clear it before the delivery date you picked at checkout.

What is the best base under pavers in Sun River?

Crusher fines, called screenings locally, bed pavers and flagstone. They pack into a firm, tight surface that holds bedding sand and joints in place. On the clayey prairie soils across the Central Montana benchlands, a base course under the fines keeps the subgrade from softening when it wets up.

How is the material measured?

You can order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever suits how you plan the job. If you tell us the area you are covering and the depth you want, we will work the quantity out with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Ground and Conditions in Sun River

Central Montana benchlands and island ranges carry deep silty and clayey prairie soils. Clay subgrades soften as soon as they wet up.

A thin layer of fines over that ground shows the failure fast. Spring snowmelt runs across ground still frozen underneath, and the path ruts and pumps within a season.

Wind moves loose material on open ground, and summer thunderstorms cut gullies into bare silt and clay slopes. Screenings and crusher fines hold a surface together where bare soil will not.

Work runs from breakup into autumn here. The benchland dries out quickly once runoff is past, so timing matters as much as material.

Cold inland winters cut by chinooks freeze, thaw and refreeze the ground repeatedly. Frost depth figures used in Great Falls run about 42 inches, and the local building department sets footing depth for any structure.

Materials for Sun River Projects

Paths and walkways want fines and screenings. Crusher fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a firm walking surface.

Use Stone Screenings under pavers and on packed pathways. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface than a drive.

For a drive or a shop pad, crushed base course is the standard Montana base material. Yards here also call it 3/4 crushed base course or 3/4 minus, and it is usually ordered by top size.

Order 3/4 Crushed Base Course for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. Under it, Pit Run handles deep fill and raising grade.

Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel. It works as sub-base beneath a crushed base course or a road mix surface, not as the finished driving surface.

For a county-style lane, road mix carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller. Order Driveway Gravel for that job.

Drainage is a separate material. Washed rock has the fines washed out, which is the point in a French drain, curtain drain or downspout run.

Order Washed Rock for those.
