Materials for Franklin Projects
Ground in this part of the state often needs to come up before anything goes on it. Fill and sub-base do that work, and they set the grade that every surface above them follows.
Fill Dirt is structural fill for backfill, raising grade and bringing a low spot up before a base course goes on top. On a building pad, it is the layer that gets the site to the elevation the plan calls for.
Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives. Idaho uses it as sub base under road mix, as structural fill and for filling holes and raising grade.
3/4 Road Mix is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. Idaho yards call it crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
Contractors who order 3/4 minus are asking for the same load.
For a driveway, top a compacted road mix base with Driveway Gravel. For a patio, bed pavers on Washed Sand and sweep Stone Screenings into the joints.
For a drain, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.
Ground and Conditions in Franklin
Across the Southeast Idaho valleys and the Bear River country, the ground is loess and silt loam over limestone, sandstone and older sedimentary rock. Water comes off the ranges onto the valley floors faster than silt loam can take it.
Low land stays wet into early summer, and alluvial fans at the canyon mouths carry sudden flows across building ground. A pad built on silt loam without enough fill under it moves when that water arrives.
Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff cut canyon roads and fans, and gullying shows up on grazed and cropped slopes. That is the case for building grade up with fill and capping it with road mix rather than surfacing bare silt.
Base and paver work runs from the spring thaw into the fall. Cold valley winters bring hard freezing and heavy heaving at the thaw, so footing depth is set by the local building official.
Questions About Material in Franklin
What is the best base under pavers in Franklin?
Road mix, sold as 3/4 Road Mix, is the base course under a paver patio. It carries the fines that let it lock up under a roller.
Bed the pavers themselves on Washed Sand, and sweep Stone Screenings into the joints once they are set.
