Need gravel and aggregate delivery in Hamilton, CO? Order online by the ton or yard, and Colorado Rock Supply brings the load to your site. Start with Class 6 road base for any new drive, pad, or shed floor. Then build from there.
Expansive clay moves with moisture here, so base depth and drainage decide how long a surface lasts. Get the right material down first, and you save yourself a redo.
Materials for Hamilton Projects
Good soil work starts below grade. For grading and bed prep, use structural backfill to raise low spots and build shape before a base goes down. It compacts well and gives you a stable platform to work from.
For lawns and planting beds, start with screened topsoil. Native soils here run alkaline and low in organic matter. A 3 to 4 inch layer of screened topsoil tilled in before seeding gives grass a real chance. For raised beds, go with garden soil. It holds moisture better through dry, windy stretches.
Once grading and soil are set, top the surface. Use Class 6 road base for driveways and parking pads. It packs to a firm, stable surface that shrugs off freeze-thaw movement. For walkways, walkway gravel gives a finer, more comfortable step.
Ground and Conditions in Hamilton
Water drives most of your material decisions. Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms send runoff where you may not want it. Plan for where that water goes before you place stone.
Expansive clay is the other factor. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so a shallow base will heave and crack. Go deeper with your Class 6 road base, and add a drainage layer where water collects.
Timing matters too. Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude. Plan your grading and base work for the warmer months.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, punishes shallow work. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. That is why proper base depth and drainage matter more here than in stable soils.

What stone should I use for drainage in Hamilton?
For most drainage jobs, use drain rock. It is a clean, washed stone that lets water move through quickly. It works for French drains, drywells, and downspout runs. For larger flows, such as a culvert outlet or a swale that scours after snowmelt, step up to rip rap. It handles the energy of moving water without washing away.
