Materials for Shirley Basin Projects

Water is the reason to think about washed stone first here. Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff have to go somewhere, and a clean stone with the fines washed out is what moves it.

Washed Rock is the drainage stone, also called drain rock or 3/4 clean. It goes in perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the whole point.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same size with a different job. It works in drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and as surfacing over a compacted base.

For a drywell or a French drain, the stone has to stay open so water can move through it. A fines-bearing material will not do that, which is why the washed sizes are the ones to look at.

Crushed Base, also called 3/4 minus, is the compacted base for driveways, shop and shed pads, parking areas and county-style lanes.

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

Scoria, or red rock, is the burnt-coal clinker from the Powder River Basin. It suits paths, walkways, drives and pads where sound natural aggregate is scarce.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under flatwork and pavers, and Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony or alkaline native ground.

Ground and Conditions in Shirley Basin

The working season at this elevation is short. Work goes in from spring breakup to autumn, and wind plus altitude keep the ground frozen later than the calendar suggests.

Across the Laramie Basin, Snowy Range and the southern basins, basin floors sit between 6,500 and 7,500 feet. Soils there run alkaline and saline, with coarse granite grus washed off the ranges.

That ground stays soft long after the surface looks dry. Snowmelt through late spring and runoff funnelling down the draws both find the weak spots in a drive.

Wind along the Interstate 80 corridor blows dust and drifts snow, and it scours cover off exposed ground. Frost then drives deeper than snowfall alone would suggest, which is why base depth and drainage get planned together.

Frost depth is about 36 inches in Laramie, with deeper footings usual at elevation. Your local building department sets footing depth for Shirley Basin.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Shirley Basin?
