Bulk Material Delivery in Sheridan, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sheridan, WY, and the ground here sets the rules. Bentonitic gumbo clay sheds water instead of taking it in.

That is why crushed base, the local name for 3/4 minus, goes down over ground that has been dug out and rebuilt. We deliver bulk material by the ton, straight to your site.

Materials for Sheridan Projects

Spring runoff and wind do the damage on open basin ground, so coarse stone for slope, swale and bank protection is where a lot of work starts. Riprap is the heavy end of that.

RipRap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, ditch lines and slopes that take fast water. It is shot rock, sized coarse, and it holds where finer stone would wash out.

#4 Crushed Stone works a step down from riprap: heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Railroad Ballast is the coarsest option for hard standing and severe drainage.

For drainage that has to stay clean, Washed Rock is the material. The fines are washed out, which is the whole point on perimeter drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Where water has to move through a bed, 3/4" Crushed Stone and #57 Stone both work. Both are clean, open-graded stone, and locally they are asked for by inch size.

Below that, Crushed Base is the compacted layer under drives, shop pads and parking areas. Pit Run is unprocessed pit gravel for deep fill and sub-base, not a finished surface.

At the fine end, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into a path surface. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns and beds.

Wyoming Rock Supply delivers across Sheridan and Sheridan County, including Story, Ranchester, Dayton, Parkman and Clearmont. A dump truck tips your load on site in one pile.

Have the pile spot clear and reachable when the truck arrives. The driver tips the load and leaves; the material is yours to move from there.

Ground and Conditions in Sheridan

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.

Bentonitic clay sheds water rather than taking it in, cloudbursts run hard off bare ground, and snowmelt sits on frozen subgrade. Local foundation details commonly over-excavate the clay and replace it with compacted granular structural fill.

That is the reasoning behind base depth here: dig the clay out, rebuild with granular fill, then place crushed base on top. Wind across open basin ground cuts gullies and rills in shale badlands and coulees.

Bank scour on the Powder River and the Tongue at spring high water is the other side of it. Long, cold winters bring deep frost and chinook thaws that can soften a surface in hours.

Frost depth is a footing figure set by the local building department, so check with them before you plan anything structural.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Sheridan

What stone should I use for drainage in Sheridan?

It depends on where the water goes. For perimeter, curtain and foundation drains, washed rock is the right call because the fines are washed out and the stone stays open.

For a drainage bed or French drain, 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Stone both work. For heavy drainage and trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarser choice.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile and a surface that will take the weight. The truck tips the load in one pile on site, so plan where you want that pile before the date you picked at checkout.

If the ground is soft from spring thaw or recent rain, the truck needs solid footing to get in and out.
