3/4 Minus Delivery for Kellogg, ID
If you are leveling a low spot or building up a pad, gravel and aggregate delivery in Kellogg, ID starts with the right base material. Idaho Rock Supply sells road mix by the ton and delivers it across Shoshone County.
This is forest and glacial ground, and the ground under your project decides how much base you need before anything goes on top.

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load before you check out.
Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material on site. The load arrives as one pile, so have your spot cleared before the truck gets there.

Materials for Kellogg Projects
Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for most. When a low corner, a shop pad or a shed slab needs to come up, the material under it has to be right.
Start with Fill Dirt when you need to bring a low spot up before anything goes on top. It is structural fill for backfill and raising grade.
Once the grade is where you want it, 3/4 Road Mix is the base course. Idaho yards call it road mix, and it is also called 3/4 minus, road base or crushed base.
It carries the fines that lock it up under a roller.
Contractors ordering off a public works plan will see the same material specified as crushed aggregate, called out by type. Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, used as sub base under road mix and for filling holes.
For a driveway, top a compacted road mix base with Driveway Gravel. For a patio, bed pavers on Washed Sand, graded to C33 for concrete work.
A drain needs clean rock, not a fines-bearing base. Drain Rock is washed and angular, sold in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes for french drains and septic drainfields.
Ground and Conditions in Kellogg
Across the Panhandle forest and glacial ground, the soil is volcanic ash over windblown loess, with a dense fragipan below it. That fragipan sits close to watertight.
Winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and stay near the surface through the wet months. An under-built base on that ground pumps and loses its shape.
Erosion moves fast once the forest litter is stripped off ash-capped soil. Rain on snow and spring melt cut steep banks, so arm culvert outlets and cut slopes with RipRap.
Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work here more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain, and midsummer into early fall is the dependable window.
Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again rather than locking up once, which heaves gravel drives and breaks up unpaved surfaces every spring. Frost depth is about 24 inches in Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County, and the local building official sets footing depth.
