Bulk Material Delivery in Burns, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Burns, WY. Start with crushed base for drives, pads and lanes.

Then answer the water. Cloudburst rain on hard, dry ground runs somewhere, and clean washed stone gives it a place to go.

Water is the first thing to plan for on this ground. Late spring and summer storms drop fast on dry plains soil, and clay lenses under a drive hold that water instead of releasing it.

Washed stone is the answer. Fines are washed out, so water moves through the void space instead of sitting in it.

Use Washed Rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, for perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. It stays open because there is nothing in it to pack tight.

For drywells and French drains, size the stone to the trench. #57 Stone is a coarse open grade for drainage and concrete aggregate.

#4 Crushed Stone, or 1 1/2 inch rock, suits heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

Downspout runs and tight spots take a smaller clean stone. 3/8" Crushed Stone is fine drainage and trench bedding.

Under all of it, Crushed Base is the compacted layer. In Wyoming it is ordered as crushed base, usually talked about by top size as 3/4 minus, and it carries drives, shop pads, parking areas and county-style lanes.

Where the ground needs raising before any base goes down, Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base. It is not a finished driving surface.

Ground and Conditions in Burns

The freeze-free season runs about 125 days in the farmed valleys across the Southeast high plains. Base, drive and paver work goes in from spring breakup into autumn.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Time a delivery around that window, not against it.

Soils here are silty and wind-laid over soft sandstone, siltstone and gravel terraces, with shrink-swell clay where shale reaches the surface. That clay moves under a drive when it wets and dries.

Wind does the rest. On open plains ground it blows dust off bare lots and strips unbound surfacing, so a graded, compacted base holds better than loose gravel alone.

Cold, dry, open winters with hard freezing and chinooks off the Laramie Range thaw the surface and let it refreeze inside the same week. Gravel drives cycle all winter and heave in spring.

In Cheyenne and Laramie County, about 36 inches is the frost figure used, and the local building department sets footing depth.
