Farmington sits in Marion County, where the ground runs from narrow bottoms up into steep wooded slopes. That shape decides where a truck can reach and where the pile has to land.

Materials for Farmington Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work on these hillside yards, because beds and borders need stone that stays put on a grade. Rounded stone reads as landscaping rather than fill, and it holds a bed edge without a wall behind it.

River Rock is the rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the bigger cut of the same idea, for dry creek beds, swale bottoms and heavier decorative work.

For a dry creek bed that has to move water, line the channel with clean stone first. Drain Rock is washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and it lets water pass instead of ponding.

Ground cover is the other half of the decorative job. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, patio infill and light drainage, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a slope better than nuggets do.

For a driveway, crusher run is the base and Driveway Gravel is the surfacing on top. For a patio, Washed Sand beds and levels the pavers, and Stone Screenings fills the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Farmington

The North central plateau and western hills ground is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, the hollows collect colluvium, and old mine workings left regolith behind.

That soil is thin and stony on the slopes and it will not grow much on its own. It also drains unevenly, so an under-built base shows itself fast once spring rain and snowmelt arrive.

This part of the state sees about 3.6 landslides per square mile, most of them on slopes over about 14 degrees. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and road cuts and development are the usual triggers.

Practical reading: build the base for the ground you have, not the ground you want. On soft fill or an old slip, a heavier base course such as Class 1 Base is the layer that carries the load.

Work here runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell is usually what stops a base job, because this ground holds water and cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure that applies in Farmington.
