Fill and Base Material Delivered in Teigen, MT
Montana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Teigen, MT, and the ground here sets the order. Clay subgrades across the Central Montana benchlands soften the moment they wet up, and spring snowmelt runs over ground that is still frozen underneath.
Crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, is the material that answers it. Build the pad up first, then cap it with a base that packs hard.

Materials for Teigen Projects
Raising grade is the first job on most Teigen sites. Fill dirt builds the pad up to the height you want, and pit run goes down as deep sub-base under a crushed base course or a road mix surface.
Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel. It is not crushed, and it is not a finished driving surface.
For the finished surface, crushed base course, also called 3/4 crushed base course or 3/4 minus, is the standard Montana base material for driveways, shop pads, parking areas and shed bases. Road mix, sold as 3/4 road mix or driveway gravel, carries enough fines and clay binder to pack hard under a roller.
Where water has to move, washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, is washed so the fines are out. That is what a French drain, a curtain drain or a downspout run needs.
Crusher fines, which Montana yards call screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways. Washed sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers.
Ground and Conditions in Teigen
The soils across the Central Montana benchlands and island ranges run to deep silt and clay on the benches, with gravelly terraces in places and shallow stony ground higher up. Clay is the part that matters for a pad.
An under-built base on clay fails from below. The subgrade softens, the surface above it moves, and the fix is to build the grade up before anything is placed on top.
Frost works the same ground. Cold inland winters cut by chinooks freeze it hard, thaw it and refreeze it, and gravel roads soften and rut each time it cycles.
Footing depth is set by the local building department.
Spring runoff runs across ground that is still frozen underneath, so water has nowhere to go. Wind moves open farmland, silt and clay slopes gully, and banks cut along the region's streams.
Work runs from breakup into autumn. The benchland dries out quickly once runoff is past, which is when grade work and base work go in cleanly.
Questions from Teigen Buyers
What is the best base under pavers in Teigen?
Start with a compacted base of crushed base course, sold locally as 3/4 minus, built up over a pad that has already been raised to grade. Bed the pavers themselves in crusher fines, which Montana yards call screenings, or in washed sand for flatwork.
Clay subgrade is the reason the pad comes first.
