Start with crushed base for anything that carries a truck.

Deaver sits in Big Horn County on the Bighorn Basin floor, where the ground runs alkaline and silty over shale and clay. That ground seals over instead of soaking in, so what you put on top has to shed water and hold shape.

Ground and Conditions in Deaver

Across the Bighorn Basin the lower ground takes only a few inches of precipitation in a year. Most of the water that moves arrives as snowmelt off the mountains or as irrigation water in ditches and canals.

Alkaline and saline silt and clay sit over shale, gypsum and bentonite beds. Bentonite swells when it gets wet and shifts when it dries, and that movement works straight up through anything thin above it.

A thin base course fails here in a way you can see. The edges ravel, the surface ruts where tires run, and potholes open after a wet spring.

The material punches down into soft clay instead of bridging it.

The fix is a compacted crushed base course over ground that has been shaped and drained first. Depth and drainage carry the load.

Wind on bare, dry ground strips loose surfacing and cuts at exposed edges, so a tight, well-graded surface holds up better than a loose one.

Winters here are cold and dry with far less snow than the mountains around the rim. Bare frozen ground and deep frost are normal, and thaw cycles work directly on unprotected surfacing.

The working season on the warm basin floor runs long by Wyoming standards, from spring breakup well into autumn.

Materials for Deaver Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways around Deaver. They pack down into a surface that stays put in wind instead of scattering the way loose round stone does.

Stone Screenings, also called crusher fines or crusher dust, bed pavers and flagstone and surface packed pathways. The fine material knits together and holds a firm edge.

3/8" Crushed Stone, or chip rock, gives you a tight topping over a compacted base and works for fine drainage and trench bedding. Scoria, the red burnt-coal clinker from the Powder River Basin, suits paths, walkways and drives where sound natural aggregate is scarce.

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

Order it by top size.

Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill, raising grade and sub-base under a crushed base course. It is not a finished driving surface.

Washed Rock, or drain rock, goes into perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point of it.

For planting, Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony or alkaline native ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds where native clay and basin sand will not do on their own.

Questions About Gravel and Base in Deaver

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop area and make sure the truck can reach it. The load tips in one pile, so leave room for the pile plus working space around it.

Move vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way first. If a fence, gate or overhead line sits near the route in, check the clearance before the delivery date.

What is the best base under pavers in Deaver?

Crushed base, the local 3/4 minus, is the standard base course under pavers here. It compacts into a firm, stable layer over shaped ground.

Bed the pavers themselves in stone screenings or washed sand. The alkaline clay and bentonite in this ground moves with moisture, so a compacted crushed base course keeps the surface above it from shifting.
