Start with crushed base, the material this part of Wyoming calls 3/4 minus. It carries the load under everything else you build.

Ground and Conditions in Moorcroft

Powder River Basin ground is bentonitic gumbo clay weathered off shale. It sheds water instead of taking it in, so a thin base fails fast.

Cloudbursts run hard off bare ground. Snowmelt sits on frozen subgrade until it thaws, and that is when the surface pumps and heaves.

A shallow lift of base over that clay turns to ruts and potholes. The fix is granular structural fill placed deep enough to get the clay out from under the work.

Across the basin, crews over-excavate the clay and replace it with compacted granular fill for exactly this reason. That pattern holds on open ground around Moorcroft.

Winters run long and cold. The published frost depth is 42 inches in Gillette and in Wright, and the local building department sets footing depth.

Wind across open basin ground cuts rills and gullies into shale and coulees. Spring high water scours banks and ditch lines.

The working season is short. Work runs from spring breakup into autumn, and wet gumbo has to dry before it will compact, which shortens the spring end further.

Materials for Moorcroft Projects

Bedding is what makes a paver patio or a slab hold its lines. Bed the pavers and the flatwork on the right sand, then lock the joints with a washed chip.

Crushed base, also called 3/4 minus or crushed base course, is the compacted structural layer under a patio, a shop pad or a drive. Order it 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 a finished driving surface.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand or bedding sand, levels and beds under flatwork and pavers. Screened topsoil and garden soil build the beds around the patio.

Stone screenings, also called crusher dust or screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and pack into pathway surfaces. The fines knit the surface together in wind.

3/8 inch crushed rock, or chip rock, gives fine drainage, trench bedding and a tight topping over a compacted base. Scoria, called red rock here, suits paths, walkways, drives and pads.

Wind River Rock is rounded river-washed stone for decorative beds and borders. It is the usual alternative to bark in a dry, windy climate.
