Fill and Base Material Delivered in Donnelly, ID
Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Donnelly, ID, with bulk loads of road mix, fill and drainage rock for pads, drives and yards. Donnelly sits in Valley County, where thin, coarse mountain ground goes stony fast once you scrape the top off.
That shallow ground is why grade and base depth get settled before anything else on a build here. Road mix is the material that carries that load.
Delivery to Donnelly and the Surrounding Area
You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.
Choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material on your site in one pile. That works for a driveway pad, a shop floor, a shed slab or a garden bed.
Valley County deliveries cover Donnelly along with McCall, Cascade and Yellow Pine. If your address sits outside those places, order as usual and the load still comes to your site.
Materials for Donnelly Projects
Grade and sub-base come first on most sites here, because the ground under a pad is rarely level or solid enough to build on as it sits. Fill dirt raises a low spot and brings a pad up to the height you want before a base course goes over it.
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 is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
Contractors order the same load by the name 3/4 minus.
Pit run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines at whatever sizes the pit gives. Use it as sub-base under road mix, as structural fill, and for filling holes and raising grade.
It is not a finished surface.
For a driveway, top a compacted road mix base with Driveway Gravel, or surface a long rural approach with Walkway Gravel if you want a finer, walkable finish.
For a patio, bed pavers on Washed Sand and fill the joints with Stone Screenings. For a drain, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.
- Fill Dirt for backfill and raising grade.
- Pit Run for sub-base and structural fill.
- 3/4 Road Mix for the base course under drives and pads.
- Top Soil for lawns and bed prep over thin mountain ground.
- RipRap for creek banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.
Ground and Conditions in Donnelly
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, soils are thin and coarse over granite that weathers down to sandy Stone Screenings. Glacial till and moraine sit around the valley heads, and deep outwash sand and gravel lie on the valley floors.
That mix drains fast where it is deep, but shallow soil over bedrock and subgrade that is still frozen push meltwater across the surface instead. An under-built base on ground like that moves and ruts.
Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads, and Stone Screenings washes out readily once it is disturbed. Armored edges and clean drainage rock hold up better than bare ground on a slope.
This is the shortest working season in the state. Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring, so the reliable window runs from early summer to early fall.
Mountain winters here bring deep snow and deep frost, and spring breakup softens and ruts gravel roads and drives as the frost comes out. Frost depth figures are set by the local building official, so check with the Valley County official for your footing depth.
Questions About Material in Donnelly
What is the best base under pavers in Donnelly?
Road mix is the base course to compact under a paver patio or walkway. It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up rather than shifting.
Bed the pavers themselves on washed sand and fill the joints with stone screenings. On the thin, coarse ground common in this part of Valley County, the base carries the load, so it needs to be right before the sand goes down.
Do you supply contractors working in Donnelly?

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 your site in one pile.
