Bulk Gravel Delivery to Arimo, ID
Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Arimo, ID online, by the ton or by the yard. Idaho Rock Supply drops road mix, rock, sand and soil at your site in Bannock County.
Start with road mix for any base going under a drive or a pad. Locally that is 3/4 road mix, the crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
Ground and Conditions in Arimo
Across the Southeast Idaho valleys and the Bear River country, ground runs to loess and silt loam over limestone, sandstone and older sedimentary rock. Gravel fans spread out where the canyons open onto the valley floor.
A base that goes in thin over silt loam shows it fast. The edges rut, the surface pumps, and the whole pad moves at the spring thaw.
The fix is structural, not cosmetic. Get the grade right, then bring in enough road mix to carry what drives over it.
Water drives the rest. Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff come off the ranges faster than silt loam can take it, and low ground stays wet into early summer.
Frost is the other half of it. Cold valley winters, frequent swings either side of freezing, and heavy heaving on drives when the thaw comes.
Around Pocatello and the southeast valleys, about 30 inches is the frost figure commonly used. The local building official sets footing depth.
Work around the thaw. Base and paver work runs from spring into fall, with a shorter window in the higher valleys around Bear Lake and Soda Springs.
Materials for Arimo Projects
Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a paver job is won or lost. The bedding layer has to sit even and stay put while the base below it holds the load.
Screenings are the bedding for pavers and flagstone. Stone screenings, also called crusher fines or chat, go down fine and even, and they fill the joints after.
Washed Sand, sold locally as C33 sand or concrete sand, beds slabs and pavers and backs up concrete work.
Mason Sand, or mortar sand, handles brick and block work, paver joints and play areas where a fine, even sand is wanted.
Under all of that sits the base. 3/4 Road Mix is what Idaho yards call crushed base with the fines left in.
Contractors ordering 3/4 minus mean the same load.
On public works plans here, base is called out as crushed aggregate by type rather than by a class number. A homeowner ordering road mix and an engineer specifying Type I are describing the same material.
Below the base, Pit Run takes the place of a finished surface. It is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, used as sub base, structural fill and to raise grade.
Where water has to move, Drain Rock is the clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
