Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Bedford, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bedford, WY, from crushed base for drives and pads to the coarse stone that holds a bank in place.

Spring runoff is the whole story here. Snowmelt comes off the high country all at once, and the water has to go somewhere.

Coarse stone gives it a path.

Materials for Bedford Projects

Start coarse. Slope, swale and bank protection is the work that fails first when the stone is too fine to shed water.

Riprap

Riprap, also called armor rock or shot rock, is the heavy end of the range. Use it on stream banks, culvert outlets, draw and ditch lining, and slope faces that take fast runoff.

It stays put where finer stone washes out.

Large River Rock

Large river rock suits dry creek beds and the ground under a downspout, where moving water needs something heavy to hit. Rounded and river-washed.

Washed Rock

Washed Rock, or drain rock, is 3/4 clean. The fines are washed out, which is the entire point on perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Crushed Base

Crushed base, also called 3/4 minus or road base, is the standard Wyoming base material. It builds driveways, shop and shed pads, parking areas and county-style lanes.

Order it as crushed base and talk about it by top size.

Pit Run

Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel. It goes in deep fill, raises grade and sits as sub-base under a crushed base course.

It is not a finished driving surface.

Scoria

Scoria, or red rock, is Wyoming's burnt-coal clinker. It handles paths, walkways, drives and pads where sound natural aggregate is scarce.

Ground and Conditions in Bedford

This is the shortest building season in the state. Snow holds the ground into late spring, and the window for base, driveway and paver work is squeezed at both ends.

Across the Jackson Hole, Star Valley and the Snake River country, the ground runs from glacial outwash and cobbly river gravel to deep silt and clay with a high water table on the valley bottoms.

Two lots on the same street can drain nothing alike. Coarse outwash sheds water fast; slow silt holds it.

That difference decides where stone goes and how deep a base runs.

Snowmelt is the driver. A heavy snowpack feeds high spring water tables on the valley floors, and bank scour follows at high water.

Fast runoff and debris come off steep fan ground.

Cut slopes rill before they revegetate. Riprap and washed rock on those faces and outlets take the water without moving.

Questions Bedford Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in Bedford?

Match the stone to the water. For a perimeter, curtain or foundation drain, use washed rock, because the fines are washed out and water moves through it.

For a drainage bed, pipe bedding or a construction entrance, 3/4 inch crushed rock works. For bank, swale or culvert outlet protection, riprap is the coarse answer.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot for the pile, with room for a dump truck to reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not spread it, so pick the place you want the material to sit.

Have your quantity settled before checkout and your delivery date chosen.
