Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Arapahoe, CO

Do you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Arapahoe, CO for a French drain, a driveway, or a building pad? Colorado Rock Supply delivers Class 6 road base, washed stone, sand, and soil in bulk, right to your job site.

Expansive clay is common across much of the state, heaviest along the Front Range, and it moves with moisture, so base depth and drainage matter more than in stable soils. We help you order the right material for the Eastern Plains, so the job holds up through wet springs and dry summers.

Materials for Arapahoe Projects

Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms put a lot of water on your property in a hurry. The right washed stone moves that water away from foundations, driveways, and low spots. We organize our materials from coarsest to finest, so you can match the stone to the job.

• For French drains, drywells, and downspout runs, start with drain rock. This clean, washed stone lets water flow through fast and keeps soil from clogging the system.
• For a slightly smaller washed option in drainage and concrete work, #57 stone is a solid choice. It also works well as a base layer under a drywell or behind a retaining wall.
• When you need fine drainage, pipe bedding, or a topping over a compacted base, 3/8 inch crushed stone gives you a tight, stable surface that still drains.
• For paver and flagstone bedding, ask for squeegee. This 1/4 inch minus washed sand locks pavers in place and lets water pass through the joints.

If your project is mostly about drainage, the table below compares the common washed stones we deliver to Arapahoe.

Ground and Conditions in Arapahoe

Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall; frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude. Plan your excavation and gravel delivery before the ground freezes so you can compact each layer properly.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, with a frost depth about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state, means your base needs to handle movement. When clay soil gets wet and then freezes, it shifts. A deeper base of Class 6 road base, compacted in lifts, keeps your driveway or building pad from cracking and settling.

Drainage is not optional here. Water that sits under a driveway in clay soil will work the base loose over one winter. A French drain filled with drain rock, tied to a downspout run, moves that water away before it becomes a problem.

Delivery to Arapahoe and the Surrounding Area

Colorado Rock Supply serves Arapahoe and the surrounding area in Cheyenne County, including Cheyenne Wells, Kit Carson, and Wild Horse. When you order online, you choose your material and quantity by the ton or yard, and we schedule bulk delivery to your site.

Bulk delivery means the material arrives in a dump truck, ready for you to spread. For a French drain, that might be a few tons of drain rock. For a full driveway, you will want Class 6 road base for the base and a separate load of driveway gravel for the surface.

Before we arrive, make sure the truck has a clear path to the drop point. The driver can dump in a pile, or in windrows if you are building a driveway and want the material spread out. Ordering online takes a few minutes, and we confirm your delivery window after you place the order.

Do you deliver Class 6 road base to Arapahoe, CO?

Yes. We deliver Class 6 road base to Arapahoe and the rest of Cheyenne County. Class 6 is the default base material on the Front Range and the right choice for driveways, parking pads, and shed or garage bases. Order it by the ton online, and we will bring it to your site in a bulk truck ready for compaction.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Arapahoe?

For a new driveway in Arapahoe, start with a compacted base of Class 6 road base. It creates a stable foundation that resists the movement from clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles. Then top it with driveway gravel for a clean, drivable surface. For heavier use, like a truck or equipment, you may want a thicker Class 6 base to carry the load.
