Bulk Material Delivery to Boise, ID

Bulk Material Delivery to Boise, ID

Ada County is home to Boise, with work sites that need material for raising low ground, backfilling around improvements and building up pads. Idaho Rock Supply lists bulk stone, sand and soil products for homeowners and contractors planning measured quantities. Start with the finished grade, then account for the depth needed before ordering.

Bulk stone, sand and base material for Boise projects

For a compacted driveway section, shed pad or paver base, 3/4 Road Mix is the local trade name for 3/4 minus, also called road mix or crushed base. It aligns with ITD Section 703 3/4 inch aggregate base. The blend of aggregate and fines locks together under compaction, so place it in manageable lifts and compact each lift before adding the next.

3/8 Chip, also called pea chip or chips, suits areas where a smaller stone profile is wanted. Drain Rock, known as 3/4 clean or washed rock, leaves open spaces for water movement. #57 stone also works where clean aggregate is needed, while Mason sand provides a fine material for leveling layers and masonry tasks.

Ground, frost and drainage considerations in Ada County

Choose fill based on the job at hand. Fill dirt builds grade and supports broad shaping work, while topsoil is for the upper growing layer after final grading. For a low spot, establish the drainage path first, build the area with fill in compacted lifts, then place topsoil where planting is planned.

Idaho's statewide frost-depth guide is 30 inches. Confirm footing depth, utility clearances and local requirements with the local building department before excavation or permanent construction.

Drainage conditions differ across Idaho. Ground in the Treasure Valley consists of alluvial gravel that drains on its own, while the Palouse has deep loess and the Panhandle has clay that holds water. Check the actual soil and water conditions at the job before choosing base thickness or a drainage stone section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Boise, ID

Should I use topsoil or fill dirt for a low spot in an Ada County yard?

Use fill dirt to raise and shape the low area, placing it in lifts and compacting each layer. Finish with topsoil only where grass, planting or a growing surface is planned. Do not use topsoil as the structural fill layer for a pad or driveway section.

Which Boise base material works under pavers or a shed?

3/4 Road Mix is the local name to use for a compacted base under pavers and shed pads. Its 3/4 minus gradation includes fines that tighten under compaction. Set the depth for the project load and ground conditions, then compact the base in separate lifts rather than trying to compact one deep layer.

How do I choose Drain Rock for a drainage section?

Drain Rock is a clean 3/4 stone used around drainage areas and as open backfill. The washed, open aggregate leaves space for water to move instead of packing tight like a road base. Keep soil fines out of the stone where the design calls for a clean drainage zone.

How do I order bulk material and select a delivery date?

Choose the material online, enter the quantity and select a delivery date at checkout. Measure length times width times depth before placing the order, and convert the depth to feet for cubic-yard calculations. For weight-based products, use tons where the product listing calls for tons.
