Bulk Material Delivery in Clarkia, ID
Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Clarkia, ID. The base material here is road mix, the crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
This is Panhandle forest and glacial ground, where the subsoil holds water through the wet months. Washed stone and clean drainage rock matter as much as base does.
Materials for Clarkia Projects
Water is the first thing to plan for on this ground. Clean washed stone gives it somewhere to go instead of letting it sit against a foundation or under a drive.
Drain Rock is the workhorse here. It is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs.
It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch. Bigger sizes move more water and hold an open void longer.
3/4" Crushed Stone is the smaller clean option. It suits pipe bedding and drainage where an angular rock that stays put is wanted.
#57 Stone is the same idea specified by a national gradation number. Idaho yards more often say 3/4 inch drain rock.
For the heavy end, #4 Crushed Stone covers trench bottoms and construction entrances. It is usually asked for by inch size rather than by number.
Ground and Conditions in Clarkia
Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work in this part of the state more than cold does. The dependable window runs from midsummer into early fall.
Across the Panhandle forest and glacial ground, the subsoil under the ash and loess sits close to watertight. Winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and stay near the surface through the wet months.
That drives the material choice. A drive or pad built over ground that holds water needs a clean drainage layer, not more fines.
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 is about 24 inches in Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County. The local building official sets footing depth for Clarkia, so confirm the figure that applies to your permit.
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. Rip rap armors culvert outlets and cut slopes against that runoff.
