Premium Aggregates Available for Ten Sleep Delivery
Gravel and Crushed Stone Products
For structural base and compaction work in Ten Sleep, our selection of crushed stone and base products provides the backbone for any durable surface. Use 3/4 inch Crushed Stone as a primary base layer under concrete pads or compacted driveways—its angular shape interlocks and resists frost heave in areas that see freeze-thaw cycles. For top courses and improved traction on driveways and ranch lanes, #57 Stone is ideal where drainage and surface stability are necessary, such as near the Big Horn River crossings or low-lying alluvial areas.
When you need a mix that locks under compaction, our Crusher Run blends fines and angular rock to produce a firm, load-bearing base for Ten Sleep's county lanes and private roads. Use Road Base for large commercial drives or subdivision roads around the outskirts of Ten Sleep and in outlying ranch neighborhoods where equipment access and heavy loads are routine.
Driveway and Pathway Materials
Driveway surfaces in Ten Sleep range from finely finished approaches near Main Street to rugged ranch access roads traversing sagebrush steppe and caliche pockets. For classic driveway applications, Driveway Gravel is blended for traction and compaction, suitable for uphill driveways near Ten Sleep Canyon and residential lanes in the historic district. Underneath a driving surface, a compactable base like 3/4 inch Crushed Stone or Crusher Run prevents rutting and reduces maintenance needs after spring snowmelt.
For walkways and lighter pedestrian paths, choose Walkway Gravel which offers a smooth, comfortable surface around properties in neighborhoods like Upper Ten Sleep, along shell creek trails, and near the Ten Sleep Museum. It compacts well without becoming overly hard under foot traffic, creating safe access in both summer heat and after light winter snow.
Decorative Stone and River Rock
Ten Sleep residents often accent xeric plantings and entryways with decorative stone that complements the Bighorn Basin landscape. Our rounded River Rock works beautifully in dry creek beds, irrigation overflow zones, and near the Ten Sleep Canyon trailheads, where smooth stones resist displacement in seasonal runoff. For patios, play areas, and low-water garden mulches, Pea Gravel provides a fine, attractive surface that is comfortable underfoot and drains quickly on slopes heading toward the Owl Creek Mountains.
Drainage Solutions for Ten Sleep's clay loam and alluvial soil
Benefits of Proper Drainage Aggregates
- Reduce erosion and sediment transport during spring snowmelt by directing runoff through properly sized drain rock and French drain systems.
- Protect building foundations and rural septic fields by using coarse aggregates to increase infiltration and keep water away from structures.
- Extend the life of roadbeds and driveways by preventing saturation of base materials that leads to rutting and potholes.
- Provide effective filtration for irrigation channels and culverts in Ten Sleep Canyon and adjacent ranch roads.
Many sites in Ten Sleep sit on a mix of clay loam on slopes and finer alluvial deposits in low areas; the right drainage strategy uses coarse, clean aggregates to move water where you want it to go without clogging. Our Drain Rock is selected to maintain flow in perforated pipe systems and around footing drains near properties on Main Street, in the historic district, and along Shell Creek. Paired with #57 Stone, these materials form reliable layers that manage both sudden spring runoff and episodic storms in this semi-arid climate.
Soil Products and Fill Materials
Successful grading and planting projects in Ten Sleep often require clean soils and engineered fills tailored to local conditions. For establishing lawns, flower beds, or vegetable plots in valley pockets, we deliver screened Topsoil blended for organic content and water retention, suitable for sites near downtown Ten Sleep and residential subdivisions. Where grade changes or foundation pads require bulk material, our Fill Dirt offers consistent compaction characteristics and is ideal for building pads and road shoulders in ranchland neighborhoods.
The Bighorn Basin's soils are variable: sandy loam overlying caliche in some areas, deep alluvial silt in creek bottoms, and mixed loam in irrigated parcels. Proper soil selection prevents uneven settling and promotes healthy plant establishment on terraces and berms around properties near Worland Highway and in the community's more developed sections. Where environmental reuse is a priority, crushed concrete can supplement fill while reducing material hauling—see the eco-friendly options below.
Sand Products for Every Ten Sleep Application
Sand serves many roles in Ten Sleep projects from masonry and bedding to playground surfacing. Use Mason Sand when setting brick or stone around patios and retaining walls near Ten Sleep's downtown storefronts—its fine texture helps mortar bed evenly and produces a clean finish. For playgrounds at local parks and community spaces, Playground Sand meets safety guidelines for cushioning and drains sufficiently to limit compaction and pooling. When a clean, washed product is needed for concrete mixes or finish grading, choose Washed Sand to minimize fines and produce consistent results in masonry and concrete applications.
| Sand Type | Best Applications | Texture | Common Uses in Ten Sleep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Brick and stone bedding, mortar mixes | Fine, consistent | Masonry at Main Street facades, retaining wall bedding near the Ten Sleep Museum |
| Playground Sand | Play areas, fall zones | Soft, cushioning | Local park surfacing and schoolyards to meet safety standards |
| Washed Sand | Concrete mixes, finish grading | Clean, low fines | Foundations and concrete work for outbuildings and rural structures |
Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Ten Sleep Project
| Aggregate Type | Best Applications | Size Range | Drainage Rating | Compaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 Crushed Stone | Structural base for drives, pads | 3/4 inch | Moderate | High |
| #57 Stone | Drainage layers, top course | 1/2 to 1 inch | High | Low |
| Crusher Run | Compacted drive bases | Variable, fines included | Low | Very High |
| Pea Gravel | Decorative surfaces, patios | 3/8 inch | Moderate | Low |
| River Rock | Dry creek beds, accents | 1/2 to 3 inch | Very High | None |
| Decomposed Granite | Low-maintenance paths, plazas | Fine to small granules | Moderate | Medium |
| Road Base | Road construction and repair | Variable, compactable | Low to Moderate | Very High |
| Drain Rock | French drains, culverts | 1/2 to 2 inch | Very High | None |
Climate Considerations for Ten Sleep Aggregates
Ten Sleep sits in the Bighorn Basin and experiences a semi-arid climate with average annual precipitation around 11.5 inches, hot summers with typical highs near 84°F, and winter lows that can drop to -10°F or colder on clear nights. These temperature swings, paired with periodic snowpack in the Bighorn Mountains, create freeze-thaw cycles that can heave poorly-selected bases. Choosing angular, compactable materials such as 3/4 inch Crushed Stone, Crusher Run, and Road Base minimizes movement and resists frost effects in Ten Sleep's clay loam soils and caliche layers.
Seasonal planning matters: spring snowmelt from Ten Sleep Canyon and runoff from the Owl Creek and Bighorn ranges can saturate valley soils in late April and May. For projects starting in spring, schedule compaction and finishing work in late May through September to reduce the impact of moisture on final surfaces. Winter deliveries are possible, but roads to remote ranches and canyon approaches may be affected by snowfall and drift; we coordinate with local plowers in neighborhoods such as Hyattville and Manderson when necessary.

Calculate the area (length times width) and multiply by the desired depth. For example, a 12 foot by 50 foot driveway at 4 inches deep needs roughly one cubic yard per 9 square feet; we convert that to tons and schedule a delivery sized to your needs, including extra for compaction and grading in Ten Sleep's varied soils.
Because Ten Sleep features clay loam and alluvial deposits with caliche in pockets, we recommend angular, compactable bases such as 3/4 inch crushed stone, crusher run, and road base for structural layers. Use #57 stone or drain rock in areas that need rapid drainage, such as low-lying yards near Shell Creek.
Yes. We regularly deliver to Worland, Basin, Greybull, Shell, Manderson, Hyattville, and Thermopolis, as well as rural ranches and remote driveway locations throughout Washakie County and the Bighorn Basin.
