Materials for Ridgway Projects
Most Ridgway projects start below grade. Raising a pad, building a driveway, or setting a foundation means starting with fill and a compacted base. Class 6 road base is the standard choice for drives, parking pads, and shed bases. It compacts into a firm, stable layer that holds up under vehicles and freeze-thaw cycling. Order Class 6 road base when you need a dependable sub-base.
For heavier loads, step up to Class 5 base course. It carries trucks and equipment better than Class 6. Use it under drives that see frequent heavy use. When you need to raise grade before the base goes down, structural backfill builds up low spots and levels a site properly.

Ground and Conditions in Ridgway
Expansive clay is common across much of the state, heaviest along the Front Range, and it moves with moisture, so base depth and drainage matter more than in stable soils. Ridgway sits in that reality. Wet clay swells. Dry clay shrinks. An under-built base shifts with it, and your driveway or patio moves too.
The answer is depth and drainage. A thicker Class 6 base spreads loads across the clay and limits movement. Drain rock around foundations and retaining walls gives water a path out instead of letting it soak into the soil. Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms deliver water fast. Your base needs to handle that surge.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude, works against shallow bases. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. Each freeze lifts the ground; each thaw drops it. A proper base depth plus good drainage keeps your surface stable through the cycles.
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 warm months. Compaction needs unfrozen soil to do its job.
