Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Green River, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Green River, WY, from crushed base for drives and pads to coarse armor stone for banks and swales. The ground here is alkaline shale and sandstone with cobbly terrace gravel, and it takes water slowly.

That shapes how deep a base needs to go and how fast runoff has to move.

Materials for Green River Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with size. The coarsest stone holds a channel or a draw in place; the finer grades handle bedding, drainage and surfacing.

Coarse armor and heavy drainage

RipRap is the armor rock for stream bank and culvert outlet protection, draw and ditch lining, and slope faces that take spring runoff. It is sized to stay put when water is moving hard.

Railroad Ballast is a heavy coarse stone for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where open voids matter more than a tight surface.

#4 Crushed Stone is the 1 1/2 inch rock used in heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.

Mid sizes for drainage and bedding

Washed Rock, also called 3/4 clean, is washed so the fines are gone. That is the point for perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, pipe bedding and surfacing over a compacted base. The numbered sizes, #57 Stone and #67 Stone, cover drainage and concrete work a step apart in size, and yards here often sell them by inch size instead.

Base, fill and surfacing

Crushed Base, also called 3/4 minus or crushed base course, is the standard Wyoming base for driveways, shop and shed pads, parking areas and county-style lanes. It is ordered by top size and compacts into a firm surface.

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.

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

Fines, sand and soil

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into pathway surfaces that hold together in wind. Washed Sand levels and beds flatwork and pavers, and Mason Sand serves brick and block work and paver joints.

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

Ground and Conditions in Green River

The season is short and late at this elevation. Base, drive and paver work is a spring-breakup to autumn job, and the shoulders of it are unreliable, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Across the Green River Basin, Red Desert and the southwest valleys, the ground is cold high desert between 6,000 and 7,500 feet. Soils run alkaline and saline, with dune fields and cobbly outwash and terrace gravel.

Snowmelt off the Wind River and Wyoming ranges reaches the Green and the New Fork through late spring. Thunderstorm runoff crosses sealed desert ground fast, and alkaline subgrade takes water slowly and gives it up slowly.

Wind moves sand across open ground and lifts dust off any disturbed surface. Gully cutting follows, and banks scour at spring high water.

That is why coarse stone belongs on slopes, swales and outlets before finer grades go down.

Winters are bitter and dry at altitude, and frost drives deep. No published frost depth was found for Green River, so the local building department sets footing depth.
