Flex Base is the workhorse for this area. It is specified under TxDOT Item 247 as flexible base, by type and grade. Grade 1 and Grade 2 are the common commercial grades. You will order it for driveways, equipment pads, ranch roads and laydown yards. It compacts into a firm, stable surface that holds up to heavy use.
For jobs that need a different material, we stock the full set of local options.
Ground Conditions Across Oldham County
The main threat to a base job here is water and clay movement, not frost. Frost depth is shallow across most of the state, so base failures come from the ground swelling when it gets wet and shrinking when it dries out. Expansive clay across the Blackland Prairie and much of north and central Texas behaves this way, and Oldham County is no exception.
Heavy downpours and flash flooding arrive in short, intense bursts. Flash runoff on slopes, creek banks and stock tank edges will move loose material fast. That is why base depth and drainage carry the job. A proper base of Flex Base, compacted to the right depth, holds the surface together. A drainage layer of drain rock or #57 limestone moves water away from the base before it can soften the clay underneath.
Work runs year round in most of Texas. Wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Plan around the rainy periods and you can pour and compact most months of the year.
Delivery Across Oldham County
You order online and we deliver in bulk to Adrian, Vega, Wildorado and the surrounding areas. The first decision is sizing your load. You can order by the ton or by the yard, and the right choice depends on the material and how you plan to use it.
For estimating, figure the area you need to cover and the depth you want. A base layer runs 4 to 6 inches deep after compaction. A surface layer of gravel runs 2 to 3 inches. Multiply length by width by depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons based on the material weight. When you are not sure, give us the dimensions and we will help you size the load.
A bulk delivery arrives on a dump truck. You need a level spot for the truck to dump and a clear path to get there. The driver can spread the material in a pile, or tailgate it in a line along a driveway. Have your site ready before the truck arrives so the crew can work without waiting.
Choosing the Right Material
The right base material shifts across Texas because the ground changes. In Orange on the Gulf Coast, the soil stays wet and the base needs more drainage stone to handle the tropical rainfall. In Palo Pinto in North Texas, the rocky terrain calls for a crushed limestone base that locks into the native ground. In Panola in the Piney Woods, the sandy soil drains fast, so the job is more about building a stable surface than moving water away.
For Oldham County, the clay is the deciding factor. Start with Flex Base for anything that carries weight. Use a washed stone like #57 limestone or #67 stone where you need drainage. Use rip rap where you need to armor a slope or bank. The material you choose should match the job, not the other way around.
