Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Lost Springs, WY

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Lost Springs, WY runs from spring breakup into autumn. Wyoming Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Converse County, and crushed base is the standard Wyoming base for drives, pads and lanes.

Frozen ground and wind-driven cold stop compaction through the winter, so grading and surfacing work fits the open months.

Materials for Lost Springs Projects

Grading and bed prep start with what goes under the finished surface. Screened Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony or alkaline native ground.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas where native clay or basin sand will not do on its own. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down.

For the base itself, crushed base, also called 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under drives, shop and shed pads, parking areas and county-style lanes. Crushed Base is specified in Wyoming by top size.

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

Pit Run goes in below the base.

Washed stone carries the drainage work. Washed Rock, also called 3/4 clean, serves perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the whole point.

Sand beds flatwork. Washed Sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, and works as concrete sand.

Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

On the decorative side, Wind River Rock is rounded river-washed stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds, the usual alternative to bark in a dry, windy climate. Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put in wind better than nuggets.

Ground and Conditions in Lost Springs

Across the Casper, the North Platte and the Casper Arch, the water driver is snowmelt and sudden thunderstorm runoff on bare clay. The subgrade carries bentonite, so it turns greasy wet and shrinks back hard when it dries.

That matters for what you put on top. A base course over ground that moves with moisture needs the water to have somewhere to go, and washed stone in a drain run gives it that path.

Wind across open ground and along the river cuts gullies in shale and badlands. Bank scour at high water is the other erosion driver, and riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, draws and ditch lines against spring runoff.

Cold winters with deep frost and repeated chinook thaws mean the ground freezes and releases several times a season. Unbound surfacing breaks up at spring thaw.

The frost depth published in Casper is 3 feet to the top of the footing, and Douglas publishes 42 inches; the local building department sets footing depth.
