Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Gibbonsville, ID
If you are planning a patio, a paver walk, or a shop pad, you are really planning two loads: the road mix that goes underneath and the bedding sand that goes on top. Idaho Rock Supply sells both, plus gravel and aggregate delivery in Gibbonsville, ID.
Ground here is thin and coarse over granite, so what you build on matters as much as what you build with.
Ground and Conditions in Gibbonsville
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, soil runs thin and coarse over granitic ground. Disturbed Stone Screenings washes out readily, and a base that was never locked up shows it first at the edges.
Spring is the other half of the problem. Snowmelt and rain on snow move across ground that is still frozen underneath, so water crosses the surface instead of soaking in.
The working season is the shortest in the state. Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring.
Frost drives deep through mountain winters, and the local building official sets footing depth. Ask what figure applies before you pour.
Materials for Gibbonsville Projects
Bedding is where a patio or flatwork job is won. Under pavers, the bedding layer has to be fine, even, and able to hold a screeded plane without shifting under a plate.
That is what Washed Sand is for. It is washed concrete sand, and it beds pavers and slabs evenly.
Where joints and brick or block work need a finer, more consistent sand, Mason Sand fills paver joints and mortar beds.
For flagstone and paver bedding where you want fines that lock up instead of sand that shifts, Stone Screenings work as a compacted bedding and joint material.
Everything above still sits on a base course. In Idaho yards that is road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or crushed base, and it is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
A contractor ordering 3/4 minus and a homeowner ordering road mix are asking for the same load. See 3/4 Road Mix.
On public works plans in Idaho, that same material is called out as crushed aggregate, Type I or Type II, rather than by a class number.
Where a patio ties into a drainage run or a downspout line, Drain Rock is the clean angular rock for french drains, drywells and drainfields.
