3/4 Minus and Bulk Aggregates for Iona, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Iona, ID, and washed stone is where a lot of it goes. Basalt sits close to the surface across the Upper Snake River Plain, so water has nowhere to go.
Road mix handles the base under drives and pads. Clean washed rock handles the water.
Order both by the ton and a dump truck tips the load on site.
Materials for Iona Projects
Start with clean washed rock where drainage has to work. Drain Rock is angular and washed, sold in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.
Use it for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. Water moves through it instead of sitting against a footing.
Base and Surfacing
3/4 Road Mix is the local base course, also called 3/4 minus. Fines stay in the mix so it locks up under a roller.
It goes under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. On public works plans in Idaho the same material is specified as crushed aggregate by type.
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, for structural fill and for raising grade.
3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock for drive surfacing, pipe bedding and drainage. Idaho says crushed rock far more often than crushed stone.
Chips, Sand and Soil
3/8 Chip is angular, so it knits together and stays put on pathways and as a leveling course over a compacted base.
Top Soil comes screened and clean for lawns and bed prep over thin ground.

Ground and Conditions in Iona
This is a short season. Frozen ground stops compaction from late fall to early spring, and the dependable base and paver window runs from late spring into early autumn.
Time a delivery around that window. Base material placed on frozen ground cannot be worked, and spring heaving undoes what was not compacted.
Across the Upper Snake River Plain and the eastern farm valleys, thin soil sits over young basalt and water has nowhere to go. Canal seepage and heavy spring irrigation lift the water table under low farmed ground.
That is why washed stone matters here. A drainage layer of clean rock gives water a path away from footings, slabs and drive edges.
Spring runoff off the Caribou and Centennial ranges, wind moving dune sand and canal bank washouts all move ground. Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that.
Frost depth of about 30 inches is the figure commonly used at Idaho Falls and through the upper Snake River towns. The local building official sets footing depth.
