Wilson, Wyoming sits at the western edge of the Jackson Hole valley, a gateway to the Tetons and a community known for close-knit neighborhoods and outdoor living. Local contractors, ranch owners, and homeowners rely on consistent, quality aggregates to build durable driveways, reliable drainage systems, and resilient landscape features that withstand mountain winters. Our local knowledge of snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and the alluvial soils of the Snake River corridor helps you choose the right product and delivery method for every project.
This page covers the most commonly used aggregates and sand types for projects in Wilson and nearby communities like Jackson, Teton Village, Moose, and Kelly. We explain how soil, climate, and geography influence product selection, and we include specific options for driveways, pathways, drainage, and decorative uses.

Gravel and Crushed Stone Products
For structural bases and compacted surfaces that need long-term performance under seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, several crushed stone options work well in Wilson's mountain environment. Our 3/4 inch Crushed Stone is frequently specified by builders as a base aggregate for patios, foundations, and road shoulders because it compacts reliably and interlocks to resist movement when temperatures fluctuate between summer highs and winter lows. In areas closer to the river, where alluvial deposits create variable soils, crushed stone provides a stable foundation layer that limits settling.
When you need a drainage-grade material with consistent size and low fines, our #57 Stone is a common choice. It performs well behind retaining walls and under perforated pipe. For recycled and eco-conscious projects, Crushed Concrete offers a cost-effective alternative to virgin aggregates; its angular profile gives good compaction and it reduces landfill waste in the valley.
Driveway and Pathway Materials
Driveways around Wilson must handle snowplows, heavy vehicles towing trailers, and seasonal runoff. For a strong wearing surface that compacts and resists rutting, many ranch roads and mountain driveways use Crusher Run at the base combined with a wearing layer of Driveway Gravel. Crusher run gives structural strength due to its blend of stone and fines while driveway gravel provides a textured wearing surface that sheds snow and provides traction on icy mornings.
In more pedestrian-focused areas such as the historic district or garden entrances in Wilson Spur and East Jackson, Walkway Gravel and compacted decomposed granite create comfortable, low-maintenance paths that blend with native vegetation and the valley's rustic aesthetic.
Decorative Stone and River Rock
For decorative beds and accent features that reflect the natural character of the Snake River corridor, our selection of river stones and rounded gravels fits the mountain palette. Homeowners near South Park, Rafter J Ranch, and Granite Ridge often choose River Rock to create dry creek beds and erosion-resistant landscaping that looks natural and channels runoff during spring melt. The rounded form of river rock reduces sediment movement in riparian edges and complements native plantings.
When a smoother surface and a formal finish are desired around patios and play areas, Pea Gravel is frequently used. Its small, rounded pieces are comfortable underfoot and work well in seating areas, playgrounds, and as a base for pavers in light-use patio installations in neighborhoods like Hoback Junction and Moose Flats.
Drainage Solutions for Wilson's Alluvial and Loamy Soil
Wilson and the Jackson Hole valley are shaped by glacial and river processes. The soils near the Snake River and its tributaries are predominantly alluvial and loamy, with pockets of sandy loam and occasional clay lenses deposited in low-lying areas. These soil conditions combined with average annual precipitation of about 15 inches and significant spring snowmelt mean drainage design is a key part of any roadway or landscape project.
Aggregates selected for drainage must permit rapid water movement while resisting clogging from fine sediments. Materials placed around foundations, behind retaining walls, and in French drain systems should maintain void space and not compact into an impervious layer.
Benefits of Proper Drainage Aggregates
- Reduce hydrostatic pressure behind foundations and retaining walls, lowering risk of structural damage during spring thaw.
- Prevent surface ponding and erosion during intense runoff events following rapid snowmelt or summer thunderstorms.
- Protect subgrade soils from saturation that can lead to frost heave and pothole formation on private roads and driveways.
- Extend the service life of paved and unpaved surfaces by maintaining base integrity and preventing water-related failure.
For French drains, perimeter drains, and swales, Drain Rock is a standard choice because its uniform size and angularity keep perforated pipe free to accept and convey groundwater. Where a larger stone is needed to resist movement in high-energy channels, our #57 Stone fills that role with higher structural capacity. Drainage aggregates are essential near the historic lots in Wilson, the low-lying areas along the Gros Ventre approach, and around septic fields in Kelly and Moose.
Soil Products and Fill Materials
When reshaping lots or building garden berms in neighborhoods like Rafter J Ranch, South Park, or Granite Ridge, having the right soils on-site is critical. We supply screened and blended Topsoil for planting beds, lawn restorations, and erosion control. This topsoil is suitable for native grass reseeding and supports the high-elevation plant palette used across the valley.
For structural fills, site grading, and leveling pads behind homes on steeper parcels near Teton Village or along the Hoback corridor, Fill Dirt provides the bulk material needed to build terraces and pads prior to compaction. Correctly placed fill reduces settlement and supports foundations and buried infrastructure.
We also support contractors renovating older ranch roads, driveways, and parking areas, providing sustainable alternatives like recycled crushed concrete when appropriate. Recycled materials can lower costs and reduce the carbon footprint of site work in the Jackson Hole area.
Sand Products for Every Wilson Application
Sand types vary by texture and cleanliness, and each has a purpose on residential and commercial sites throughout Wilson, Victor, and Driggs. Sand should be selected based on drainage needs, compaction properties, and safety requirements for play areas or masonry mixes.
Mason sand is a fine, angular sand used in mortar mixes and for bedding pavers where a firm joint is needed. For bricklayers and masons working in East Jackson and the historic core, our Mason Sand is graded for consistency and mix predictability.
Play areas require a softer, well-draining surfacing material that reduces impact and sheds water. Our Playground Sand meets safety specifications and is commonly used at home playsets, community parks in Wilson, and at playgrounds near the community center.
For concrete mixes and applications that require low-silt content, Washed Sand is the right choice. Washed sand is used by masons and concrete crews for site footings, grout, and where minimal fines are required to control slump and strength.
| Sand Type | Best Applications | Texture | Common Uses in Wilson |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Masonry mortar, paver bedding | Fine, angular | Masonry in historic districts and paver patios in Wilson Spur |
| Playground Sand | Play surfaces, soft landing zones | Medium, rounded | Home playgrounds and community parks near South Park |
| Washed Sand | Concrete mixes, grout, leveling | Clean, low silt | Footings and concrete work in Teton Village and Alpine |
Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Wilson Project
Selecting the right aggregates means matching material size, angularity, and compaction characteristics to the site’s soils and the local climate. In Wilson, where elevations near 6,200 feet, temperature swings are common: summer daytime highs average around 82 degrees Fahrenheit while winter nighttime lows can dip to around -5 degrees Fahrenheit. Those extremes influence frost depth and the need for frost-susceptible layers under pavements and foundations.
Because parts of the valley sit on glacial outwash and alluvial deposits, you can find a mix of sandy loam and silty loam soils with occasional calcareous and gravelly pockets. For any structural work, it’s best to design the base and drainage to separate fine, moisture-retaining soils from structural aggregates so freeze-thaw cycles don’t deform surfaces.
| Aggregate Type | Best Applications | Size Range | Drainage Rating | Compaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 Crushed Stone | Base for patios, pads, subbase | 3/4 inch to 1 inch | Moderate | High |
| #57 Stone | Drainage stone, backfill around pipe | 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch | High | Low |
| Crusher Run | Driveway base, structural fill | Varied mix of fines to 1 inch | Moderate | Very High |
| Pea Gravel | Play areas, decorative beds | 3/8 inch | Moderate | Low |
| River Rock | Dry creek beds, erosion control | 1 inch to 6 inches | High | Low |
| Decomposed Granite | Walkways, compacted trails | Fine to small granular | Low | Moderate |
| Road Base | Pavement subbase, rural roads | Varied, crushed fines to 3/4 inch | Moderate | High |
| Drain Rock | French drains, foundation drains | 3/4 inch to 2 inch | Very High | Low |
Climate Considerations for Wilson Aggregates
Wilson's mountain climate with an average of roughly 15 inches of precipitation annually and heavy seasonal snowfall—often over 80 inches—demands aggregates that will not hold excessive moisture and that will offer consistent behavior under plow traffic and freeze cycles. Aggregates with angular grains like crushed stone and crusher run compact well to form frost-resistant bases. In areas susceptible to standing water during spring melt, use higher drainage-rated materials like drain rock and #57 stone to keep subgrades dry.
Because the valley sees sudden temperature swings and strong sun exposure at high elevation, UV stability is less of a concern for stone but asphalt surfaces and binding agents do experience faster oxidation. Selecting the correct base aggregate will reduce maintenance frequency on private roads and driveways across Wilson, Teton Village, and Moose.

Delivery costs depend on distance, load size, access conditions, and seasonal timing. While we do not universally offer free delivery, we frequently provide discounted delivery to regular contractors and larger bulk orders delivered to central staging locations in Jackson and Wilson Spur. For remote ranch access near Hoback or steep driveways in Rafter J Ranch, additional charges may apply to cover special routing or offloading equipment.
Quantity depends on area and depth: a typical driveway resurfacing might need 2 to 4 inches of gravel spread across the surface, while a structural base requires 6 to 12 inches depending on traffic and subgrade. Using cubic yards is standard for delivery—one cubic yard covers roughly 81 square feet at 1 inch deep. For accurate estimates we can calculate based on your square footage and desired depth, taking into account compaction and overage for grading in hilly areas like those near Granite Ridge.
For areas with loamy or silty soils and significant freeze-thaw activity, choose angular crushed stone and compactable bases like Crusher Run or Road Base combined with a drainage layer of Drain Rock or #57 Stone. Decorative options like Pea Gravel and River Rock work well in garden beds but should be paired with proper base and edging to prevent migration during spring runoff.
Yes. We deliver across the valley and to neighboring communities, including Jackson, Teton Village, Alpine, Driggs (ID), Victor (ID), Moran, and Pinedale. For rural areas with limited access, we coordinate scheduling and offloading methods so material placement is safe and efficient even in steep or narrow driveways.
Late spring through early fall is the most reliable window for outdoor construction and landscaping in Wilson because the ground is free of frost and access is easier for bulk trucks. However, we schedule winter deliveries for urgent repairs, snow-damage fixes, and projects that must proceed year-round, planning routes to avoid freeze-thaw hazards and plow schedules.
