Materials for Banks Projects
Water control is the work here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs need clean washed rock that lets water pass instead of trapping it.
Drain Rock
Drain Rock is the washed, angular stone for that job. It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.
Use it in french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. The clean washed face keeps fines out so the water keeps moving.
3/4" Crushed Stone
3/4" Crushed Stone is the general purpose angular rock. Drive surfacing, pipe bedding and drainage all take it.
It stays put where it is placed. That matters on a slope where rounded material would roll.
3/8 Chip
3/8 Chip tops a compacted base on pathways and leveling courses. Chips knit together instead of rolling underfoot.
Road Mix and Pit Run
3/4 Road Mix is the local base course. Yards here call it road mix, and it carries the fines that let it lock up under a roller.
Contractors who order 3/4 minus are asking for the same load. Public works plans call it crushed aggregate and specify it by Type I or Type II.
Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines at whatever sizes the pit gives. It works as sub base, structural fill and for raising grade, never as a finished surface.

Ground and Conditions in Banks
The working season is short. Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring.
The reliable window is early summer to early fall. Time a delivery inside it and you avoid working ground that will not compact.
Soils across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys are thin and coarse over granite, weathering to sandy Stone Screenings. Where the ground is shallow over bedrock, meltwater runs across the surface instead of soaking in.
That is why drainage rock and a properly built base matter more than depth alone. Disturbed granitic ground washes out readily, and burned slopes above a drainage shed sediment downhill.
Frost goes deep in these mountain valleys, and spring breakup softens and ruts gravel drives as it comes out. Building officials in the highest valleys use footing depths set by the local building official.
