3/4 Minus, Stone and Soil Delivery in Clifton, ID
Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Clifton, ID, and the loads start with a number. Size yours on the calculator on each product page, then pick the material.
Road mix is the base most ground here gets, and this part of Franklin County sits on silt loam that water crosses faster than it soaks in.
That is why washed stone and drainage work matter as much as base does. Read on for what to order and how the truck reaches you.
Materials for Clifton Projects
Washed stone is where a lot of Clifton drainage starts. Water that crosses silt loam has to go somewhere, and clean rock gives it a place to travel instead of a place to stand.
Drainage stone
Drain Rock is clean, angular washed rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
Downspout runs and drywells want the same thing: open voids the water moves through. #57 Stone is a national gradation for drainage and concrete aggregate, and yards around here usually call that size 3/4 inch drain rock.
#89 Crushed Stone is small washed rock for tight bedding and paver joints where a coarse stone will not fit.
Base and drive material
3/4 Road Mix is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. The fines stay in so it locks up under a roller.
A contractor ordering 3/4 minus and a homeowner ordering road mix are asking for the same load. On public works plans, the same material is written as crushed aggregate and called out by type.
Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted road mix base on a long rural approach. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes.
Decorative and soil
Snake River Rock is the round rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock handles the heavier work, usually in the 2 inch to 10 inch range.
Top Soil goes down screened for lawns and bed prep over thin, stony ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds where the native ground is too thin or too alkaline to plant into.

For a base course or a drainage run, the calculator on each product page is where you size the load. Order the material and the date, and the pile lands where the truck can reach it.
Ground and Conditions in Clifton
Base and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into the fall. Across the Southeast Idaho valleys and the Bear River country, higher ground opens later than the valley floor, so the season you build in shapes when you want the load.
Under all of it sits loess and silt loam over limestone, sandstone and older sedimentary rock, with coarse gravel fans where the canyons open out. Silt loam takes water slowly, and snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff cross it fast.
That is the case for a compacted road mix base and a clean drainage layer, not one or the other. Runoff also cuts alluvial fans and canyon roads, so culvert outlets and swales want coarse angular rock that stays put.
Frost matters here too. Around Pocatello and the southeast valleys, about 30 inches is the figure commonly used, and the local building official sets footing depth.
