River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Dixon, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Dixon, WY. Snowmelt comes off the mountains through late spring, and thunderstorm runoff funnels down the draws.

Water that has nowhere to go finds the low spot in a yard.

Washed stone is what answers that. Order crushed base for the drives and pads, washed rock for the drains, and scoria or river rock where the work is decorative.

Materials for Dixon Projects

Drainage is the first job here, so start with the clean stone. Washed Rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, goes in perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

The washing is the whole point. Fines are rinsed out, so water moves through the stone instead of plugging it.

Use it where a downspout daylights into a drywell or a French drain trench.

Coarser sizes handle heavier flow. #4 Crushed Stone works for trench bottoms and heavy drainage, and #57 Stone covers French drains and drainage beds.

Local yards usually sell that size by inch size rather than by number.

Where the surface has to carry traffic, build it from the base up. Crushed Base, also called 3/4 minus or crushed base course, is the standard Wyoming material for driveways, shop and shed pads, and parking areas.

It compacts.

Under it goes Pit Run for deep fill and raising grade. Pit run is unprocessed pit gravel, not a finished driving surface, so it stays below the base course.

For the finish, Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or a ranch lane and tops a compacted base. Scoria, the red burnt-coal clinker, handles paths, walkways and pads.

Ground and Conditions in Dixon

The working season at this elevation is short. Work goes in from spring breakup to autumn, and wind plus altitude keep the ground frozen later than the calendar suggests.

Across the Laramie Basin, Snowy Range and the southern basins, the ground runs alkaline and saline on old lake beds, with coarse granite grus and cobbly river gravel in places. Alkaline ground and wind are both hard on a thin base.

Wind along the Interstate 80 corridor blows dust, drifts snow and cuts gullies in shale. Spring high water scours banks.

Both push water at a drive or a pad from the side, not just from above.

Frost drives deeper than the snowfall alone would suggest, because wind scours the cover off exposed ground. The published figure is about 36 inches in Laramie, with deeper footings usual at elevation.

The local building department sets footing depth.

Order ahead of the season you plan to work. Book the date at checkout and the material arrives when the ground is ready.
