Which stone is best for drainage in Washakie County?

Washed rock is the clean drainage stone. The fines are washed out, so water moves through it instead of silting it shut. Use it for perimeter and curtain drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. 3/4 inch crushed stone and 3/8 inch crushed stone also drain and work for pipe bedding and trench work. #57 stone is the same idea, sold here by inch size.

What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable by a dump truck. The truck tips the load in one pile, so the ground where it lands should be firm and open. Order by the ton or by the yard, size the load with the calculator on the product page, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

What is the best base material for a patio in Washakie County?

Crushed base is the base material for a patio here, because the alkaline clay under it moves with wet and dry cycles. It is specified locally as crushed base, with Grading W the one-inch-top-size base and Grading GR the 3/4 inch gradation. Bed pavers and flagstone on stone screenings or washed sand over that base.

Washakie County, WY Aggregate and Rock Delivery

Wyoming Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Washakie County, WY to your site. Water here arrives as snowmelt and irrigation, and alkaline ground seals over instead of soaking in.

Crushed base is the material that answers most of that. Order it by the ton or the yard and a truck tips it where you need it.

Ground Conditions Across Washakie County

Across the Bighorn Basin, the ground is alkaline and saline silt and clay over shale, gypsum and bentonite beds. The lower basin takes only 5 to 8 inches of precipitation in a year.

That clay seals when it wets and cracks when it dries. A base course laid on it without enough depth moves with the ground under it.

Erosion comes from wind on bare, dry ground. Sheet and gully cutting follows badland clay and irrigation runs, and bank scour hits at spring high water.

Winters are cold and dry, with far less snow than the mountains around the rim. Bare frozen ground and deep frost are normal, and thaw cycles work on unprotected surfacing.

No published frost figure was found for Worland or Ten Sleep. Figures published elsewhere in Wyoming run from about 34 to 42 inches, and the local building department sets footing depth.

The working season on the warm basin floor runs from spring breakup well into autumn. Up on the rim the window is much shorter.

Materials Delivered in Washakie County

Order by the project. A driveway, a patio and a drain each take a different material.

Crushed base is specified in Wyoming as crushed base.

Grading W is the common one-inch-top-size base. Grading GR is the 3/4 inch gradation.

Section 803.4.2 keeps Pit Run Subbase, Crusher-Run Subbase and Crushed Subbase apart as three different materials.

City and county work is usually written against Section 02190 of the Wyoming Public Works Standard Specifications. It uses the same grading letters and states that base shall be crushed base unless otherwise specified.

For drainage, washed rock and the clean crushed sizes do the work. 3/4" Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone both drain, and #57 Stone is sold by inch size here rather than by number.

Choosing the Right Material

Park County, Big Horn County and Hot Springs County all sit in the Bighorn Basin and share the same ground. The soil, the water and the erosion drivers are the same across all four.

So the choice does not change at the county line. Alkaline clay over shale, gypsum and bentonite behaves the same way on either side.

Pick by what the surface has to do. A drive takes a compacted crushed base with driveway gravel over it.

A patio takes screenings or washed sand for bedding.

A drain takes washed rock, so the fines are out and water moves. A slope above a ditch or a culvert outlet takes riprap.

Where the native ground is thin, stony or alkaline, top soil and garden soil go over it before anything is planted. Fill dirt raises grade before a base course goes down.
