How much material will my project need?

Measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth you want in inches. Divide that number by 324 to get cubic yards. For a base layer, plan on a minimum depth of 2 to 3 inches of compacted material. A drainage bed needs 4 to 6 inches of clean stone. When in doubt, order a little extra to account for settling and compaction.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Hartsel?

Yes. You can order most materials by the ton or by the cubic yard. Tonnage works well when you know the weight you need, while yardage suits area-based projects like beds and driveways. Either way, the order is placed online and delivered directly to your site in Hartsel.

Do you deliver outside Hartsel itself?

Yes. We deliver across Colorado, and the surrounding towns and rural addresses around Hartsel are covered the same way as the town centre. If you are not sure whether your address is reachable, send it over and we will confirm before you order.

Materials for Hartsel Projects

For landscaping in Hartsel, the decorative materials you choose shape how your yard looks and handles water. River rock works well for beds and borders, while cobble suits dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel offers a finer option for play areas and xeriscape mulch.

Large River Rock for dry creek beds, xeriscape, and slope protection where runoff needs slowing.
River Rock for decorative beds, borders, and xeriscape ground cover.
Natural Pea Gravel for play areas, pipe bedding, and a walkable mulch in planting beds.

For the structure under those beds, Class 6 road base gives you a compacted base for patios and paths. Class 6 Road Base is the standard choice for driveways and shed or garage bases across the Front Range. It locks together when compacted and stays firm through freeze-thaw cycles.

If you are setting flagstone or pavers, Squeegee is the local term for washed 1/4 inch minus screenings used as bedding. Contractors from out of state may not know the name, but it levels cleanly under stone.

Ground and Conditions in Hartsel

Expansive clay is common across much of Colorado, and it moves with moisture. When clay gets wet, it swells; when it dries, it shrinks. That movement puts stress on anything built over it. A base layer that is too thin will shift and crack.

Hartsel sits in the High Country, where spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms drive most drainage issues. Water moves fast over hard ground. Without proper drainage, runoff can undercut driveways and wash out planting beds.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycling also affects the ground, often several cycles in a single week at altitude. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. That cycling lifts and settles the soil, so compaction and base depth are not optional. They keep your surface level through the seasons.

Plan base and drainage work from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter, so a spring start gives your material time to settle.
