Fairfield sits in Camas County, on thin, coarse ground that has to be built up before anything goes on top.
Materials for Fairfield Projects
Road mix is the base course under a driveway, a parking pad, a shop floor or a shed slab. It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
Contractors here also call it 3/4 road mix or 3/4 minus, and a homeowner asking for road mix is asking for the same load.
On public works plans in Idaho, base material is named as crushed aggregate and called out by Type I or Type II rather than by a class number. That is how the specification reads, not a grade you have to match on a driveway.
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.
For drainage, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. Idaho sells it as 3/4 clean, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
3/4" Crushed Stone surfaces a drive or beds a pipe where you want angular rock that stays put.
Sand and soil round out a build.
Top Soil is screened and clean, for lawns and bed prep over thin ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds where the native ground is too stony to plant into.
Ground and Conditions in Fairfield
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, water is what drives the ground work. Coarse granitic and outwash ground drains fast where it is deep.
Shallow soil over bedrock, and subgrade that is still frozen, send meltwater across the surface instead.
That is the case for a drainage layer and a base that stands up, not just a surface. Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads.
Stone Screenings washes out readily once it is disturbed.
Fairfield sits in 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.
The reliable window runs from early summer to early fall.
Mountain winters here are long and hard, with deep snow and deep frost, and a heavy spring breakup that softens and ruts gravel roads and drives as the frost comes out. Frost depth is at least 32 inches in Blaine County, and building officials in the highest valleys use deeper figures.
The local building official sets footing depth in Camas County.
For bank work, RipRap armors creek banks, culvert outlets, canal banks, pond edges and cut slopes against snowmelt and cloudburst runoff.
