Buy Crushed Stone in Kemmerer, Wyoming

Kemmerer gets about 12 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage planning essential for any gravel or stone job. Crushed stone is the material to use when you need a base that sheds water and holds up under weight.

The ground around here freezes deep and stays frozen for months. That freeze-thaw cycle moves the soil, and a properly designed crushed stone base handles that movement better than other aggregates.

Crushed Stone Sizes Available in Kemmerer

Which Crushed Stone to Order for Common Jobs

Match the project to the product and the depth. The table below covers the typical jobs for a Kemmerer property.

How Kemmerer's Climate and Ground Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Kemmerer has about 246 days a year that drop below freezing. That long cold season means the ground freezes deep. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A thicker crushed stone base is the right way to handle that.

About 50 inches of snow falls each year. That snow and the plowing can damage a loose stone surface. A well-compacted crushed stone driveway with a solid base resists plow damage better than gravel that is not compacted.

The soils around Kemmerer are in hydrologic group C. They take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. That surface runoff needs to be directed away from the foundation or driveway with a drainage layer. A deeper drainage layer of open-graded crushed stone earns its place in these conditions. Lincoln County permitted about 194 single-family homes in 2024, so many new driveways and lots in the county will need that same base planning.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and the stone size. A loose volume of crushed stone compacts down by 10 to 15 percent, so factor that into the amount you order. Use our crushed stone calculator to get an estimate for your Kemmerer job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do winter conditions in Kemmerer affect delivery?

Yes. About 246 days a year drop below freezing, and 50 inches of snow fall annually. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries year-round, but you need firm, plowed access for the dump truck. The crew cannot place stone onto snow-covered ground that might be soft underneath.

Does the soil around Kemmerer change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. The soils in this area are in hydrologic group C, meaning they take water in slowly and shed runoff. That surface runoff calls for a thicker drainage layer of open-graded crushed stone to move water away from structures. The amount you need depends on your specific site and the depth of the base you design.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

A typical vehicle driveway calls for 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone. Jobs that see heavy trucks or equipment, or that sit on deep frost ground, need more. Use the crushed stone calculator to estimate the tonnage for your planned depth.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Angular, well-graded stone like 3/4" Crushed Stone compacts tighter than a single-size stone like #57. The smaller sizes fill the voids between larger pieces. For load-bearing surfaces, a graded mix that includes fines will compact to a firmer surface than a clean, open stone.
