Materials Delivered in Huerfano County
Choose materials by the job you are doing. For a new driveway or pad, start with Class 6 road base. It compacts into a firm surface that handles daily traffic and seasonal weather. For heavier traffic, order Class 5 base course, the heavier structural grade, also from Class 6 Road Base.
For decorative work, cobble suits dry creek beds and slope protection, while river rock covers beds and borders. Natural Pea Gravel works for play areas and xeriscape mulch.
Ground Conditions Across Huerfano County
Expansive bentonite clay is common along the Front Range. It moves with moisture, so base depth and drainage matter more than in stable soils. An under-built base can shift, crack, or sink when the clay swells and contracts.
Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms drive most drainage issues. Runoff on slopes and in drainage swales needs armor. Rip rap and cobble slow the water and protect the bank.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, puts stress on unsealed surfaces and shallow bases. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude.

Choosing the Right Material
The best material shifts with ground conditions across Colorado. In Jackson County, High Country soils stay wetter and freeze harder, so a thicker drain rock layer under the base prevents frost heave. Jefferson County sits on the Front Range with similar bentonite clay to Huerfano, so deep Class 6 road base and proper drainage matter there too. Kiowa County on the Eastern Plains has drier, sandier soil, meaning a lighter base may work, but dust control becomes a bigger concern. Match the base to your local ground, and the surface will last.
How much gravel do I need for my project?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet. Multiply those numbers by the depth you want in feet. For a 10 by 20 foot pad at 4 inches deep, that is about 67 cubic feet. Use depth minimums of 2 to 4 inches for driveways and walkways.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?
Crushed stone is angular and locks together when compacted, making it stable for driveways and drainage beds. Natural Pea Gravel is round and smooth, so it shifts underfoot and works better for play areas and decorative ground cover. Use crushed stone where you need a firm, compacted surface. Use Natural Pea Gravel where movement is fine.
