3/4 Minus, Stone and Soil Delivery in Avery, ID

Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Avery, ID. Road mix is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs here.

It is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

The ground in this part of the state is forest and glacial country. Volcanic ash sits over windblown loess in the uplands, with a dense fragipan below it.

That layer shapes how water moves on your lot.

Materials for Avery Projects

Wet ground and heavy runoff make drainage the first question on a lot in Avery. Clean washed stone is what carries water away, and it comes in several sizes.

Drain rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. Idaho sells it in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.

Because it is washed, water passes through instead of pooling.

3/4 inch crushed rock works for drive surfacing, pipe bedding and drainage where you want an angular rock that stays put. Idaho says crushed rock far more often than crushed stone.

3/8 chip is a finer washed stone for pathways, leveling course and topping over a compacted base. Chips are angular, so they knit together and stay where they are put.

3/4 Road Mix is the local name for the base course under a drive, pad or slab. Contractors ordering 3/4 minus and homeowners ordering road mix are asking for the same load.

Top Soil is screened and clean for lawns and bed prep over thin mountain ground. Garden Soil goes in raised beds and planting areas where the native ground is too stony to plant into.

Ground and Conditions in Avery

Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work here more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain.

The dependable window runs from midsummer into early fall.

The fragipan under the ash and loess is close to watertight. Winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and sit near the surface through the wet months.

That is why a drainage layer matters more than a deeper base on many lots.

Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again rather than locking up once. That heaves gravel drives and breaks up unpaved surfaces every spring.

Frost depth runs about 24 inches in Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Rain on snow and spring melt cut steep forest and logging roads, and ash-capped soil moves fast once the forest litter is stripped off it. Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against that runoff.
