Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Converse County, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Converse County, WY. Every product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.

Start with crushed base, the material this state builds drives and pads on. From there, add pit run for deep fill or washed rock for a drain.

Materials delivered in Converse County

Match the material to the job. A driveway, a patio and a curtain drain each want a different stone.

Crushed base carries the most weight of any material here. In Wyoming it is specified as crushed base.

Grading W is the common one-inch-top-size base and Grading GR is the 3/4 inch gradation.

City and county work is usually written against Section 02190 of the Wyoming Public Works Standard Specifications, which uses the same grading letters. That section states that base shall be crushed base unless otherwise specified.

Section 803.4.2 keeps Pit Run Subbase, Crusher-Run Subbase and Crushed Subbase apart as three different materials. So pit run stays pit run: unprocessed gravel for deep fill and sub-base, never described as crushed and never a finished driving surface.

For a patio, bed the pavers on crusher fines or washed sand, with 3/8 inch crushed rock for tight drainage around the edge. Decorative beds take Wind River Rock or Natural Pea Gravel, and shredded mulch knits together and stays put in wind better than nuggets.

Ground conditions across Converse County

Across the Casper, the North Platte and the Casper Arch, the open country runs to shale-derived clay with bentonite in it. That subgrade turns greasy wet and shrinks back hard when it dries, so an under-built base moves with it.

River terraces along the North Platte are sandy and gravelly, and the Laramie Range front carries granite and limestone slopes. Badlands and gumbo sit toward the Salt Creek field.

Each one drains and compacts differently.

Water arrives as snowmelt and as sudden thunderstorm runoff on bare clay. Wind moves across open ground and along the river, cutting gullies in shale and scouring banks at high water.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring breakup into autumn. Frozen ground and wind-driven cold stop compaction through the winter, so timing matters as much as material.

Cold winters bring deep frost and repeated chinook thaws, so the ground freezes and releases several times a season. Unbound surfacing breaks up at spring thaw.

The published frost figure in Casper is 3 feet to the top of the footing, and Douglas publishes 42 inches; the local building department sets footing depth.

Delivery across Converse County

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. The calculator on each product page helps you size the load, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. Delivery covers Douglas, Glenrock, Lost Springs and Shawnee, along with the surrounding county ground.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. A firm, open area at the edge of the work keeps the pile where you want it and off any surface you are trying to protect.

Choosing the right material

Natrona County sits in the same Central Wyoming region and shares this ground region, so the base and drainage choices there follow the same reasoning as they do here.

Niobrara County is different. It sits in the High Plains, where silty, wind-laid soils cover soft Tertiary sandstone, siltstone and Ogallala gravel, with shrink-swell clays where Cretaceous shale reaches the surface.

That wind-laid silt is finer and more uniform than the bentonitic clay here, so it holds a compacted base differently and sheds water differently. A drainage layer matters more where the soil will not drain on its own.

Niobrara also has gravelly terraces and irrigated bottom ground along the North Platte and the Laramie River. The largest hard-rock aggregate quarry in the state works gneiss west of Cheyenne, so Crushed Stone turns up in yards there that will not be seen elsewhere in Wyoming.
