Order Class 6 Road Base and Crushed Stone in Cheyenne County, CO
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Cheyenne County, CO online from Colorado Rock Supply. Pick your material by the ton or yard, and we deliver it to your site. Start with Class 6 road base, the standard base for driveways and pads across the Eastern Plains.
The ground here moves. Expansive bentonite clay is common along the Front Range and moves with moisture, so base depth and drainage matter more than in stable soils. Get the base right, and the surface lasts.

Class 6 road base is the workhorse. Class 6 is the common driveway and pad base. Class 5 is the heavier structural grade. Order Class 6 Road Base for driveways, parking pads, and shed or garage bases.
For drainage, match the stone to the job. Use Drain Rock for French drains and downspout runs. Choose 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds or a drive surface. Pick #57 Stone for drainage and concrete aggregate.
For walkways and paths, Crusher Fines are the standard Colorado pathway surface. Also called breeze or pathway fines, they pack firm for trails and dog runs. Use Squeegee for paver or flagstone bedding; it is a Colorado term out-of-state contractors will not recognize.
For decorative work, River Rock suits beds and xeriscape. Natural Pea Gravel works for play areas and pipe bedding. For slopes and swales that scour, RipRap and cobble armor the bank and slow runoff.
Ground Conditions Across Cheyenne County
Thin base fails here. Expansive bentonite clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. A base that is too shallow cracks and shifts. Go deeper than you think: a minimum depth of 4 to 6 inches of compacted Class 6 road base handles most driveways.
Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms drive the drainage design. Runoff on slopes and in drainage swales after snowmelt and monsoon-season storms needs armoring. Use rip rap and cobble to slow the water and stop erosion.
Timing matters. Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall; frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude. Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, also tests your base. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state, so drainage below the frost line keeps water moving.

Choosing the Right Material
The right base shifts across Colorado. In Clear Creek, in the High Country, wet, rocky soils and steep slopes mean you need more drainage stone and a heavier base. In Conejos, in the San Luis Valley, sandy, well-drained soils let you use a standard Class 6 base with less worry about drainage. In Costilla, also in the San Luis Valley, the same sandy conditions apply.
Cheyenne County sits between those extremes. The bentonite clay here needs a deeper base and positive drainage. Start with Class 6 road base, add drain rock where water collects, and top with crusher fines or driveway gravel for the surface.
