3/8 Inch Crushed Rock for Patios in Moose, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Moose, WY for patios, driveways and drainage runs. If you are setting pavers or flatwork, the job starts with the bedding material under them and the crushed base below that.

In this corner of Teton County the ground is often cobbly river gravel, so what happens under the slab matters as much as the slab.

Order online by the ton or by the yard and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Ground and Conditions in Moose

Across the Jackson Hole, Star Valley and the Snake River country, snowmelt is the whole story, and this is the wettest, snowiest corner of Wyoming. A heavy snowpack feeds the valley floors, spring water tables come up, and coarse outwash can sit right next to slow silt.

Two lots on the same street can drain nothing alike.

That matters for a patio. A thin layer of bedding sand over uneven native ground shows the failure fast: soft spots, rocking pavers, joints that open up.

The fix is a compacted base of crushed base, the material Wyoming yards call 3/4 minus, with a level bedding layer on top.

Frost is the other half of the story. Deep, long-lying snow and hard frost sit under it, with a winter design temperature near 30 below and one of the highest air freezing indexes in the state.

The ground stays frozen under snow cover into late spring and releases all at once. Frost depth of 34 inches measured to the bottom of the footing is the published figure for the Town of Jackson and Teton County, or the depth a soils engineer sets for the site.

The building season is short here. Snow holds the ground into late spring, and the window for base, driveway and paver work is squeezed at both ends.

Materials for Moose Projects

Bedding is where a paver job is won. Under flagstone and pavers you want a material that packs tight and holds a level plane, not one that rolls out from under the stone.

Stone Screenings, also called crusher fines, are the usual bedding for pavers and flagstone. They pack and hold, and a packed screenings path resists wind better than loose stone.

Washed Sand is the leveling and bedding sand under flatwork and pavers, and it doubles as concrete sand. Mason Sand covers brick and block work and paver joints.

Everything above sits on crushed base. Crushed Base, also called 3/4 minus or crushed base course, is the standard Wyoming base material for drives, shop and shed pads and parking areas, specified by top size.

It is the layer that spreads the load.

Two more earn their place on a Moose site. Washed Rock, or 3/4 clean, has the fines washed out, which is the whole point for perimeter drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

3/8" Crushed Stone, called chip rock locally, gives a tight topping over a compacted base and fine drainage in trenches.
