Ground and Conditions in Coolin
Panhandle forest and glacial ground sits under Coolin. Volcanic ash over windblown loess caps the uplands, with glacial till on the ridges.
Below that ash and loess lies a dense fragipan that is close to watertight. Winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and sit near the surface through the wet months.
A thin base fails first at the edges. Water reaches the fines, the surface loosens, and ruts open up before the middle of the pad shows anything.
The fix is a base course with the fines left in, so it locks up and holds shape once it is rolled. Add a clean drainage layer where ground stays wet.
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 runs midsummer into early fall.
Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again rather than locking up once. That cycles heaves gravel drives and breaks up unpaved surfaces every spring.
Frost depth runs about 24 inches in Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County, with deeper figures used in colder northern and higher valley towns. The local building official sets footing depth.
Materials for Coolin Projects
Fines and screenings carry paths and walkways here. Coolin sits in Bonner County, where garden paths and lakeside walkways need a surface that stays walkable and does not scatter.
Stone Screenings, also called crusher fines or chat, are the fines for paver and flagstone bedding, joint filling and compacted pathway surfaces. They knit into a firm, even surface underfoot.
3/8 Chip works as a leveling course and a topping over a compacted base. Chips are angular, so they lock together and stay where they are put.
Walkway Gravel gives garden paths and walkways a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes. It holds up where foot traffic is steady.
Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or crushed base, is the Idaho base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
Contractors order 3/4 minus for the same load. Public works plans in Idaho name it as crushed aggregate, called out by type rather than by a class number.
Drain Rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, handles french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. It goes in at 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
RipRap arms creek banks, culvert outlets, canal banks, pond edges and cut slopes against snowmelt and cloudburst runoff. Top Soil goes down screened and clean for lawns and bed prep.

Questions from Coolin Buyers
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. Bulk loads are tipped in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps material out of the way of your work and your driveway.
Have the area free of vehicles, equipment and anything you do not want covered.
What is the best base under pavers in Coolin?
Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or crushed base, is the base course under paver work here. It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up once it is rolled.
Screenings go on top for bedding and joints. On ground that holds water, add a clean drain rock layer below.
