Sheridan sits at the eastern edge of the Bighorn Mountains, and as the Gateway to the Bighorn Mountains many property owners and contractors here expect reliable, local aggregate supply suited to the high plains and foothills. Whether you are updating a driveway in Downtown Sheridan, installing a perimeter drain in Beckton, designing a xeric garden near Highland Park, or building access roads around the Ranchettes, dependable gravel delivery Sheridan services and a diverse inventory of aggregates are essential. Our local approach accounts for Sheridan County's seasons, rocky outcrops, and a mix of clay and loamy soils so you get the right material for the job.
As a Sheridan gravel supplier we understand how the climate and geology shape materials choices. The area averages about 14.5 inches of precipitation per year and sees roughly 45 inches of snow, with July highs near 82°F and January lows around 7°F. Those freeze-thaw cycles combined with pockets of clay and sandy loam and the influence of the Bighorn Basin make aggregate selection and proper base construction critical for long-term performance. Read on for detailed product guidance, delivery areas including North Main, South Main, Riverside and West Sheridan, and the right combinations of aggregate and sand for every Sheridan property.
Premium Aggregates Available for Sheridan Delivery
Gravel and Crushed Stone Products
For structural bases and stabilized surfaces in Sheridan, crushed stone is a mainstay. Our 3/4 inch Crushed Stone is a commonly specified base aggregate for driveways and commercial pads because it compacts well and provides a strong, interlocked base under top layers. Used beneath asphalt, pavers or permeable surfaces, this product resists rutting and performs well in Sheridan's seasonal freeze-thaw environment.
When you need an intermediate drainage and bedding material, #57 Stone is frequently chosen by local contractors for its clean, angular profile. It sheds water while providing a stable bedding layer for gabions, French drain systems along Coffeen Avenue, and retaining wall drains near Fort Phil Kearny. For job sites where recycled material is preferred, our Crushed Concrete gives a sustainable alternative with good compaction characteristics for non-structural fills and temporary roadways.
Driveway and Pathway Materials
Driveways around Sheridan—from the historic strip in Downtown Sheridan to new builds in the Ranchettes—require a graded approach. Start with Road Base to establish a uniform platform, then use Crusher Run for a compactable wearing surface if you prefer a classic gravel road profile. For finished surfaces with lower dust and smoother ride quality, homeowners often choose our Driveway Gravel which combines different sizes to lock together while still allowing drainage.
Paths and walkways in Sheridan's parks and neighborhoods—from Riverside trails to sidewalks near Sheridan Memorial Hospital—perform best with materials designed for pedestrian use. Walkway Gravel offers a rounded, compacting mix that reduces displacement and is comfortable underfoot, while still being permeable to surface runoff in this semi-arid climate.
Decorative Stone and River Rock
For landscape accents and erosion control along creek corridors and residential frontages, decorative aggregates change the look and functionality of properties. Pea Gravel is ideal for patio infill, play areas, and decorative borders in historic districts of Sheridan because its small rounded form packs well and is aesthetically pleasing. Larger, polished surfaces around fountain beds and bump-outs benefit from River Rock, which is excellent for visible swales and erosion-resistant installations along Big Goose Creek and other riparian zones.
We stock sizes and finishes to match the architectural styles found in Sheridan's Northside and Southside neighborhoods, and our delivery crews are experienced working in narrow downtown alleys as well as rural acreage near Story and Banner.
Drainage Solutions for Sheridan's loamy and clay soil
Sheridan's soils vary from loamy valley floors to clay pockets on the prairie and weathered mountain gravels at the edge of the Bighorn Mountains. Proper drainage design starts with aggregate selection. Our Drain Rock is a coarse, clean stone used to create gravity drains and rock swales that move water away from foundations and reduce saturation in poorly draining soils common near the riverfront. For subsurface trenches and French drains where water must be carried away quickly, the angular profile and permeability of #57 Stone provides an effective medium.
Drainage aggregates are not one-size-fits-all in Sheridan: upland parcels near the Bighorn foothills benefit from coarser rock to counter steep runoff, while lowland lots in Downtown Sheridan or along Coffeen Avenue may require a layered approach with filter fabric and gradated stone to prevent fines migration and clogging.
Benefits of Proper Drainage Aggregates
- Improved foundation longevity and reduced frost heave in winter
- Faster runoff conveyance protecting landscaping and septic systems
- Reduced surface ponding and erosion on slopes near the Bighorn Mountains
- Lower maintenance on driveways and access roads exposed to snowmelt
Soil Products and Fill Materials
Site grading and planting in Sheridan require reliable soil materials. For top dressing lawns, building garden beds, or restoring disturbed areas after excavation, our Topsoil is blended to support establishment in the region's short growing season. It is screened and amended to suit yard restorations in neighborhoods like Highland Park or along the North Main corridor.
When moving earth for building pads, leveling acreage in the Ranchettes, or backfilling foundations in Ranchester and Dayton areas, Fill Dirt is a cost-effective option to bring elevations to grade before topping with structural bases. Proper compaction and layering of fill dirt help avoid future settlement, which is especially important on properties with variable soil types that transition from loam to caliche-like subsoils near the plains.
For environmentally focused projects, crushed recycled materials like crushed concrete offer a lower-carbon alternative for bulk fills and temporary construction roads while still meeting performance needs for many Sheridan applications.
Sand Products for Every Sheridan Application
Sand is an essential component for masonry work, playground surfacing, bedding pavers, and concrete mixing. Sheridan's seasonal exposure to freeze-thaw and wind-driven dust makes selecting the right sand type important for both safety and durability. Below we detail our primary sand products used across properties from Downtown Sheridan to outlying areas like Big Horn and Clearmont.
For mortar, bedding, and pointing applications where a consistent fineness is critical, builders use Mason Sand. Its uniform texture improves mortar consistency for repairing historic masonry facades on Sheridan's Main Street or repointing stonework near Fort Phil Kearny monuments.
Play areas and school yards across Sheridan—including parks in South Main and school campuses near Highland Park—require soft, safe surfacing. Our Playground Sand meets safety guidelines for impact absorption and drains well to minimize puddles after summer storms and spring snowmelt.
For concrete batching, paver bases, and washing applications where impurities must be minimal, Washed Sand offers a clean, consistent product. Wash procedures reduce fines that can interfere with compaction and drainage—an important consideration for permeable paver installations in Sheridan's historic districts and new developments outside the city core.
| Sand Type | Best Applications | Texture | Common Uses in Sheridan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, pointing, masonry repair | Fine, uniform | Repointing Main Street buildings and stone walls near Fort Phil Kearny |
| Playground Sand | Play areas, impact-absorbing surfaces | Soft, rounded grains | Neighborhood parks in South Main and school yards |
| Washed Sand | Concrete, paver bedding, drainage mixes | Medium, low fines | Paver projects and concrete work across Sheridan County |
Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Sheridan Project
Selecting aggregates in Sheridan means balancing compaction, drainage, and the expected traffic or load. Projects in neighborhoods like Beckton or the Riverfront will have different exposure conditions than rural driveways leading to ranches near Banner or Story. The tables below compare common aggregate options to help you pick the right product whether you are a homeowner in Downtown Sheridan, a contractor restoring a historic property, or a county road crew working near Big Horn.
| Aggregate Type | Best Applications | Size Range | Drainage Rating | Compaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 Crushed Stone | Base for driveways, pads | 3/4 inch | Moderate | High |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, bedding for pipes | 1/2 to 1 inch | High | Moderate |
| Crusher Run | Road surfaces, compacted paths | Mixed fines and fragments | Low to Moderate | Very High |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, decorative beds | 1/8 to 3/8 inch | Moderate | Low |
| River Rock | Swales, decorative borders | 1 to 4 inches+ | Very High | Low |
| Decomposed Granite | Walking paths, compacted surfaces | Fine to coarse granules | Moderate | Moderate |
| Road Base | Under asphalt, parking pads | Varied crushed sizes | Moderate | High |
| Drain Rock | French drains, outlet areas | 1 to 2 inches | Very High | Low |
Climate Considerations for Sheridan Aggregates
Sheridan’s climate—semi-arid with around 14.5 inches of precipitation annually, average highs near 82°F in summer and lows near 7°F in winter—exerts specific demands on aggregate selection. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift poorly compacted material, so high compaction materials such as crusher run and properly layered road base are preferable for driveways and access roads in the North Main and West Sheridan corridors. In river valleys where runoff spikes during snowmelt, selecting coarse-draining rock such as drain rock and #57 stone mitigates saturation and protects plantings and foundations.
In drier, wind-prone parts of Sheridan and the Ranchettes, surface dust and migration can be managed with stabilizing fines or polymer treatments when permitted, or by choosing interlocking mixes like driveway gravel that resist displacement better than uniformly rounded aggregates.

Calculating gravel needs depends on area, depth, and compaction target. A common rule is to multiply square footage by depth (in feet) and then by 62.4 for weight in pounds if mixing by weight, or use cubic yards for volume. For practical planning, we recommend a site visit or sending measurements from properties in South Main, Highland Park, or the Ranchettes so we can provide a precise estimate and a recommended mix such as Crusher Run under a top layer or Driveway Gravel finish.
For Sheridan’s mix of loam and clay soils and the freeze-thaw cycles, materials that compact well and shed water are preferred. Products like road base, crusher run, and 3/4 inch Crushed Stone are commonly used for load-bearing surfaces. For drainage-sensitive locations near rivers and lowlands, coarser stone such as Drain Rock or #57 Stone protect against saturation and frost heave.
Yes. We deliver throughout Sheridan County including nearby communities like Ranchester, Dayton, Buffalo, Clearmont, Gillette and Cody. Our trucks are equipped for rural driveways and off-road access so properties in the Ranchettes, Big Horn, Story, and Banner can receive full loads and precise placements.
Spring through early fall is the most active season for aggregates in Sheridan, but winter deliveries are possible for many projects. Avoid heavy freeze-thaw transitions for final surfacing when possible; install base layers and compact in warm, dry windows. For playground or masonry work that uses Playground Sand, Mason Sand, or Washed Sand, scheduling during drier months reduces moisture-related delays.
Yes. Recycled products such as Crushed Concrete provide a lower embodied-carbon choice for many fill and base applications. Using recycled aggregates can also reduce the need to quarried virgin material while delivering comparable performance for non-structural applications across Sheridan County.
