Riprap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Upton, WY

Wyoming Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Upton, WY, right to your site. Coarse stone is the first line of defense here.

Spring runoff and summer cloudbursts move fast off bare ground in the Powder River Basin. Crushed base, riprap and washed rock give that water somewhere to go.

Materials for Upton Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection. Start with the biggest rock and work down to the fines that lock a surface together.

Riprap armors stream banks and culvert outlets. It also lines draws and ditches and holds slopes against spring high water.

Large River Rock handles splash pads under downspouts and heavier decorative erosion work. Its rounded shape is not meant to lock together, so use it where the water spreads rather than runs.

Washed Rock is the clean stone for perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Washing the fines out is the whole point of it.

Crushed Base, also called 3/4 minus, builds driveways, shop and shed pads and parking areas. In Wyoming it is the standard base material, and it is usually talked about by top size.

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

For a packed path or paver bedding, Stone Screenings hold together in wind. For planting, Top Soil goes over thin, stony or alkaline native ground.

Ground and Conditions in Upton

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 instead of taking it in. Cloudbursts run hard off bare ground, and snowmelt sits on frozen subgrade.

That is why so much residential work in this part of the state starts by digging the clay out and replacing it with compacted granular fill. A base course placed over soaked gumbo will not hold.

Wind across open basin ground cuts gullies and rills into shale badlands and coulees. Riprap and coarse stone on the banks and outlets take that energy before it reaches your drive or pad.

Long, cold winters bring deep frost and chinook thaws that can soften a surface in hours. Gumbo heaves and pumps at spring thaw.

Frost depth is published as 42 inches in Gillette and in Wright, and the local building department sets footing depth.
