Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Natrona, WY

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Natrona, WY runs on the working season. Base, paver and flatwork crews get their window between spring breakup and autumn, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Wyoming Rock Supply delivers crushed base and the rest of your order by the ton, so you can time the drop to the weather.

Ground here is shale-derived clay with bentonite in it, and it behaves badly when it gets wet. Plan your order around that, not around the calendar.

Ground and Conditions in Natrona

A thin base under a patio shows its failure early. The slab or the pavers rock at the corners, joints open, and the surface holds water in low spots.

Bentonitic subgrade is the reason. It turns greasy wet, then shrinks back hard when it dries, so anything thin on top of it moves with the ground.

Snowmelt down the North Platte and off Casper Mountain adds water fast. Thunderstorm runoff on bare clay does the same, and it has nowhere to go once the surface seals.

Wind is the other driver across open ground and along the river. It pulls fines off an exposed surface and cuts gullies in shale and badlands north of town.

Frost matters too. Cold winters with deep frost and repeated chinook thaws freeze and release the ground several times a season.

Unbound surfacing breaks up at spring thaw, so a patio base has to be built for that cycle. The City of Casper publishes a frost depth of 3 feet to the top of the footing, and Douglas publishes 42 inches.

Your local building department sets footing depth.

Materials for Natrona Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio is won or lost. The bedding layer levels the pavers and spreads the load, and it only works over a base that has already been compacted.

Start with crushed base, the material this market calls 3/4 minus or crushed base course. It is the standard Wyoming base for drives, shop pads, parking areas and county-style lanes, and it is what goes under a patio.

Below that, pit run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill, raising grade and sub-base. It is not a finished driving surface and it is not crushed.

For the bedding layer itself, crusher fines pack tight under pavers and flagstone and hold together in wind. washed sand levels and beds under flatwork and pavers, and doubles as concrete sand.

Around the edges of the work, washed rock handles perimeter and foundation drains where washing the fines out is the whole point. riprap armors culvert outlets, draw lining and slopes against spring runoff.
