What is the best base under pavers in Careywood?

Road mix, sold elsewhere as 3/4 minus, is the base course under pavers here. It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Over it, Washed Sand beds the pavers and Stone Screenings fill the joints. On this ground, the base course matters more than the sand, because the fragipan below holds water and an under-built base will move.

Do you supply contractors working in Careywood?

Yes. Idaho Rock Supply sells bulk material to contractors and homeowners the same way: you order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load on site. Base material on public works plans in Idaho is called out as crushed aggregate by type, and road mix is the yard name for that same load.

How is the material measured?

You can order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever suits how you plan the job. If you tell us the area you are covering and the depth you want, we will work the quantity out with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Fill and Base Material Delivery in Careywood, ID

Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Careywood, ID, and the first step is sizing the load. Each product page has a calculator, so you can set a quantity before you order.

Road mix is the base this ground asks for. Panhandle forest and glacial ground sits under a fragipan that holds winter water near the surface, so a pad needs fill and sub-base under it before anything goes on top.

Delivery to Careywood and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Idaho Rock Supply delivers across Bonner County, including Sandpoint, Priest River, Ponderay, Clark Fork and Oldtown. Careywood addresses sit inside that same county coverage.

Rural approaches and tight lots both work, because the truck tips where it can reach and the pile stays where it lands. Have the pad or drive area clear before the truck arrives.

Materials for Careywood Projects

Raising grade and building pads drive the material choice here. Fill goes down first to bring a low spot up, then a base course goes over it, then a surface.

Building pads and shop floors

Fill Dirt is structural fill for backfill and raising grade before a base course goes on top. Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, used as sub base under road mix and for filling holes.

Driveways

3/4 Road Mix is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted road mix base.

Drainage and patios

Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. For a patio, Washed Sand beds pavers and slabs, and 3/8 Chip tops a compacted base on paths.

Ground and Conditions in Careywood

Across the Panhandle forest and glacial ground, volcanic ash sits over windblown loess with a dense fragipan below it. That fragipan is close to watertight, so winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and sit near the surface through the wet months.

An under-built base on ground like that pumps and shifts. Fill and sub-base carry the load, and road mix over them gives the base course something to lock into.

Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work here more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain, and the dependable window is midsummer into early fall.

Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again rather than locking up once, which 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.
