Materials for Island Park Projects
Base and driveway surfacing carry the work here. Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix, 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.
On public works plans in Idaho, base material is called out as crushed aggregate by type rather than by a class number. That is how the spec reads, not a grade Idaho Rock Supply holds.
Under the base, pit run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives. Use it as sub base, structural fill, or to fill holes and raise grade.
It is not a finished surface.
Surface the drive itself with driveway gravel over a compacted road mix base, or top a long rural approach with it. Where a path needs a finer, walkable surface than a drive does, walkway gravel fits that job.
Washed stone handles water. Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs.
It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.
For a drive surface, pipe bedding or drainage where an angular rock that stays put is wanted, use 3/4 inch crushed rock, known locally as 3/4 chip. Chips are angular, so they knit together and stay where they are put.
Sand beds the hard surfaces. Washed concrete sand goes under pavers and slabs and into concrete work.
Mason sand, also called mortar sand, suits brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.
Soil covers the ground that will not grow. Screened topsoil goes on lawns and beds over thin, stony mountain ground.
Garden soil fills raised beds where the native ground is too thin or too alkaline to plant into. Fill dirt brings a low spot up before a base course goes on top.
Decorative rock finishes the yard. Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, so it rolls underfoot, which suits patios, dog runs and play areas.
River rock, listed in Idaho as round rock, dresses beds, borders and dry creek beds. Cobble takes the heavier decorative work and drainage swales.
Ground and Conditions in Island Park
Water decides how a drive here performs. Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, coarse ground drains fast where it is deep.
Shallow soil over bedrock and subgrade that is still frozen sends meltwater across the surface instead.
That surface water is the reason a base course has to lock up rather than sit loose. Road mix carries the fines that let it do that under a roller.
Pit run under it raises grade and moves water away from the subgrade.
Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads. Stone Screenings washes out readily once it is disturbed, and burned slopes shed sediment and debris into the drainages below them.
Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against that runoff.
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.
The reliable window runs early summer to early fall, so plan the load around it.
Mountain winters bring deep snow, deep frost and a heavy spring breakup that softens and ruts gravel roads and drives as the frost comes out. Footing depth is set by the local building official, and no figure is published for Island Park here.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A drive wide enough for the truck, a clear approach and no overhead wires or low branches keep the drop simple.
The pile lands where the truck can reach, so pick that spot with the shovel work in mind.
