King Hill sits in Elmore County, on ground that runs from old lake silt and sand to basalt beneath. That mix decides what a base needs to do.
Materials for King Hill Projects
Water is the reason most of this ground needs washed stone. Caliche layers, clay lenses and shallow basalt perch water under yards and drives, so a drain has to move water somewhere it can leave.
Drain Rock is clean washed 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.
Because it is washed, the voids between the stones stay open and water passes through instead of sitting in the trench.
For a downspout run or a tight drain line, 3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock that stays put where it is placed. It also beds pipe and surfaces a drive.
#57 Stone is the same job at a national gradation, and Idaho yards more often say 3/4 inch drain rock.
Base material is where road mix comes in. 3/4 Road Mix is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
The same load is ordered as 3/4 minus, and public works plans in Idaho call it crushed aggregate by type.
Under that base, Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines at whatever sizes the pit gives. It fills holes, raises grade and works as structural fill.
It is not a finished surface.
On top, the finer sizes finish the job. 3/8 Chip is angular, so it knits together on pathways and leveling courses where Natural Pea Gravel would roll.
Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.
Soil and sand round out a site. Top Soil goes over thin desert soil and stony ground for lawns and beds.
Washed Sand beds pavers and slabs and mixes into concrete.

Ground and Conditions in King Hill
This part of Idaho has the longest working season in the state, running from an early spring thaw into late fall. That gives you a wide window for a delivery.
Water running in canals and laterals from spring to autumn governs when work along a ditch or lateral can happen.
Winter here brings many shallow freeze and thaw cycles rather than one deep freeze. Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley cities publish a frost depth of about 24 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
No frost figure was researched for King Hill.
The soil across the Treasure Valley and the western Snake River Plain runs to old lake silt, sand and clay with basalt beneath, and hard caliche layers under thin desert soils on the benches. Water that gets through the sand and silt stops at the caliche and sits there.
That is why a drain matters as much as a base. A drive or a pad over ground that perches water needs somewhere for it to go, and washed stone gives it that path.
Summer cloudbursts run straight off crusted desert soil instead of soaking in, so the water arrives fast.
Spring wind moves dry bare soil, and runoff off slopes scours ditch banks and culvert outlets. RipRap armors those edges against snowmelt and cloudburst runoff.
