Materials for Hawk Springs Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection here. On open plains ground, water arrives fast and leaves fast, and the stone that holds a bank is the stone that is big enough to stay put.

RipRap is armor rock for stream bank and culvert outlet armoring, draw and ditch lining, and slope protection against spring runoff. It is the coarse end of the range, and it is what you set where moving water meets bare ground.

#4 Crushed Stone is a smaller coarse stone for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. In this state it is usually asked for by inch size as 1 1/2 inch rock.

Railroad Ballast is heavy coarse rock for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage. It stays open under weight and sheds water instead of holding it.

Washed Rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean, is the clean stone for perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point of it.

Crushed Base is the compacted base for driveways, shop and shed pads, parking areas and county-style lanes. Locally it is ordered as crushed base and talked about by top size, as 3/4 minus.

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

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. A pile of riprap or crushed base needs room, and the truck needs a firm, dry approach to get to it.

Ground and Conditions in Hawk Springs

Across the Southeast high plains, the working season runs from spring breakup into autumn. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so base, drive and paver work goes in while the ground is open.

Wind is the main erosion driver on this open, dry plains ground. It blows dust off bare lots and strips unbound surfacing, which is why coarse, well-graded stone holds better on exposed banks and swales.

Cloudburst thunderstorms in late spring and summer fall on hard, dry ground. Snowmelt runs off subgrade that is still frozen, and clay lenses under a drive hold water instead of releasing it.

Winters here are cold, dry and open, with hard freezing and wide day-to-night swings. Chinooks off the Laramie Range thaw the surface and let it refreeze inside the same week, so gravel drives cycle all winter and heave in spring.

Footing depth is set by the local building department. Frost depth figures published for Cheyenne and Laramie County are about 36 inches, and they belong to those places, not to Hawk Springs.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Hawk Springs

What stone should I use for drainage in Hawk Springs?

For a drain that has to stay open, use washed rock, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean. It is washed so the fines are out, which is what lets water move through it.

For heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances, #4 crushed stone works. For fine drainage and trench bedding, 3/8 inch crushed rock and #8 crushed stone are the tighter sizes.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, firm and reachable. The truck tips the load in one pile, so leave room for the material and a dry approach for the truck.
