Crushed base, the 3/4 minus that carries most drives and pads in this state, is where a lot of ground work begins.
This is cold high desert country in the Green River Basin, Red Desert and the southwest valleys, and the ground here is alkaline and stony. What you put on top of it matters.
Ground Conditions Across Sweetwater County
The working season is short and late at this elevation. Base, drive and paver work is a spring-breakup to autumn job, and the shoulders of it are unreliable.
Time a delivery to land inside that window.
Winters are bitter and dry, and the freeze-free season is one of the shortest anywhere in the country. Frost drives deep and the ground stays hard for months, so plan the season around it.
Soils across the Green River Basin, Red Desert and the southwest valleys run alkaline and saline, with shale and sandstone underneath. Water moves through that ground slowly in both directions, so drainage layers earn their keep.
Snowmelt comes off the ranges into the Green through late spring, and thunderstorms drop sudden runoff over sealed desert ground. Wind moves sand across the Red Desert and lifts dust off any disturbed ground.
That combination cuts gullies in badlands and scours banks at spring high water. Riprap and clean stone are how you armor those edges and line ditches before runoff finds them.
Materials Delivered in Sweetwater County
Crushed base is the standard Wyoming base material, specified in this state as crushed base.
City and county work is usually written against Section 02190 of the Wyoming Public Works Standard Specifications, which uses the same grading letters.
Fine work takes finer stone. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack into pathway surfaces that hold together in wind.
3/4" Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone cover drainage beds, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
For decorative ground, Wind River Rock fills beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles heavier work under downspouts. Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put in wind better than nuggets.
Choosing the Right Material
Sublette County sits on the same ground region as Sweetwater County, the Green River Basin, Red Desert and the southwest valleys. The shale, sandstone, alkaline soils and dune fields are the same, so the base and drainage choices carry across unchanged.
Carbon County is a different story. Its basin floors hold alkaline and saline lake-bed soils, coarse granite grus off the Laramie and Snowy ranges, and shaly ground in the Great Divide Basin.
That granite grus drains more freely than the shale and sandstone here, so a Carbon County base can sit differently than one placed over local ground. Match the drainage layer to what is under it.
