Bulk Gravel Delivery to Culdesac, ID
Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Culdesac, ID, from road mix for driveways and shop pads to washed rock for drainage and soil for lawns. The ground here is deep windblown loess over basalt, so what you put on top matters as much as what you put under it.
Order by the ton or the yard, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.
Ground and Conditions in Culdesac
Silt loam over loess seals when it rains and sheds water instead of taking it in. On long slopes that runoff crosses roads, drives and yards, and water perches where the loess meets basalt underneath.
A drive or pad built on that ground shows it in the surface. The material pumps, ruts form, and the edges break down after a wet spring.
Across the Palouse hills and the Clearwater and Snake canyons, sheet and rill erosion on cropped loess slopes runs among the heaviest anywhere in the country. Canyon roads, culverts and creek banks scour under spring runoff and summer cloudbursts.
Sticky loess mud through the wet months is the real constraint on hauling and compaction. Work goes best from late spring through fall, and the canyon towns get a longer window than the prairie above them.
Winters here are cold and wet with frequent freeze and thaw cycles. No published frost figure was found for Nez Perce County, and Idaho code leaves the frost line to the local jurisdiction, so the building official sets it.
Materials for Culdesac Projects
Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines Idaho yards also call chat, and they bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and surface a compacted pathway.
For a walkable path that holds up, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface than a drive wants. 3/8 Chip is angular, so the chips knit together and stay where they are put instead of rolling underfoot.
Under all of that goes the base. Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or 3/4 minus, is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
It carries the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
On public works plans in Idaho, the same material is called out as crushed aggregate, Type I or Type II, rather than by a class number. A contractor ordering 3/4 minus and a homeowner ordering road mix are asking for the same load.
Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives. Use it as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, or to fill holes and raise grade.
It is not a finished surface.
Where water needs to move, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. Idaho sells it as 3/4 clean in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.
For drive surfacing, pipe bedding and drainage, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the angular rock that stays put. Idaho says crushed rock far more often than crushed stone.
For patios, dog runs, play areas and walkways, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, which is why it rolls underfoot where chips do not.
