Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Hotchkiss, CO

Materials for Hotchkiss Projects
Driveway work is the most common job we supply in this area. The standard build starts with Class 6 Road Base as the compacted foundation, then a surface layer of Driveway Gravel on top. That combination gives you a stable, all-weather surface that sheds spring snowmelt and summer thunderstorms.
For a heavier approach or a drive that carries trucks, some owners step up to Class 5 base course, also called Class 5. It is a coarser, more structural mix that suits parking pads and equipment access. Both base materials are sold under the Class 6 Road Base listing on our site.
Beyond the driveway, a few other materials show up regularly around Hotchkiss:
- 3/4 Inch Crushed Stone for drainage beds, construction entrances, and topping a compacted base.
- Crusher Fines, also called breeze or pathway fines, for garden paths, dog runs, and trails that pack firm underfoot.
- Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, and backfill behind retaining walls.
- Squeegee, also called squeegee sand, for bedding pavers and flagstone.
Ground and Conditions in Hotchkiss
Expansive clay is common across much of the state, and it moves with moisture. That matters for any Hotchkiss project because the ground shifts as it wets and dries. Base depth and drainage are not optional here; they are the difference between a drive that stays level and one that ruts out.
Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms are the two water events that shape your site. Both send a lot of water across the surface at once. That is why drainage stone, whether Drain Rock or #57 Stone, gets placed before the base goes down in low spots.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, also works against pavement and gravel. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. A properly compacted base, built to a minimum depth of 4 to 6 inches for a standard drive, handles that cycling.
Plan your base and drainage work from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude, so a summer pour or gravel job gives you the best result.
Delivery to Hotchkiss and the Surrounding Area
Ordering from Colorado Rock Supply is straightforward. You pick the material, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and schedule the drop. Bulk delivery to a Hotchkiss site means a dump truck shows up at your address, so have the pad or trench ready to receive the load.
We deliver across Delta County, including Hotchkiss and the nearby communities of Austin, Cedaredge, Cory, Crawford, and Delta. The same Class 6 road base and driveway gravel we supply in town goes to rural lots and farm accesses throughout the area.
Before the truck arrives, clear the spot where you want the pile. Make sure the ground is dry enough to support the weight of a loaded truck. If you are topping an existing drive, spread the material soon after delivery so it compacts before the next storm moves in.
