Pit Run and Bulk Aggregates for Gillette, WY

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Gillette, WY, the first question is usually which material the job actually calls for. Wyoming Rock Supply sells bulk crushed base, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton, delivered across Campbell County.

Start with crushed base, the standard Wyoming base material, ordered by top size as 3/4 minus. From there, the job decides the rest.

Materials for Gillette Projects

Water is the reason to think about washed stone first. Gillette sits on bentonitic gumbo clay that sheds water instead of taking it in, so roof runoff and snowmelt have to go somewhere deliberate.

Washed Rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, is clean stone with the fines washed out. That is the whole point: perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs need open voids that stay open.

3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances. A size down, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and trench bedding.

For a drywell or a French drain, the clean sizes let water move rather than sit. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are specified by number, though yards in this state more often sell them by inch size.

Where a drive or a shop pad needs a compacted base, Crushed Base is the material.

Pit Run is a separate pay item, unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and raising grade. It is not crushed and it is not a finished driving surface.

Scoria, the red burnt-coal clinker dug in the Powder River Basin, surfaces paths, walkways and pads where sound natural aggregate is scarce.

Ground and Conditions in Gillette

The working season here is short. Work runs from spring breakup into autumn, and the spring end shortens further when wet clay needs time to dry.

Bentonitic clay heaves and pumps at thaw, which is why so much residential work starts by digging the clay out and replacing it with compacted granular structural fill. Frost depth in Gillette is published at 42 inches, and the local building department sets footing depth.

Wind across open basin ground cuts gullies and rills, and spring high water scours banks and culvert outlets. Riprap and clean stone armor those spots.

Snowmelt sitting on frozen subgrade is the other drainage driver. A clean stone layer under a drain or a downspout run gives that water a path.
