Gravel and Stone Delivery in Lewiston, ID

Lewiston is a mid-size city in Nez Perce County. New gravel drives and worn driveways both need a firm, well-graded base before the finish material goes down. Idaho Rock Supply lists bulk aggregate, sand and soil for residential and contractor jobs, with delivery dates selected during online ordering.

Material choices for Lewiston driveways and yard work

For a driveway rebuild, start with 3/4 Road Mix, also called 3/4 minus, road mix or crushed base. This blend has fines that lock between larger pieces during compaction. It follows ITD Section 703 3/4 inch aggregate base and works for a compacted driving surface, shed pad or paver base.

Drain Rock, also known as 3/4 clean or washed rock, has open spaces between particles for water movement. Use it where drainage matters rather than where a tightly compacted surface is needed. Snake River Rock, also called river rock or round rock, is a finish stone for visible areas. Keep a solid edged border around round rock so it stays where it belongs.

Ground, frost and drainage planning in Nez Perce County

Ground conditions need a look before setting a base depth. Idaho guidance shows that alluvial gravel in the Treasure Valley drains readily, while deep loess in the Palouse and clay in the Panhandle retain water. That difference is why the job site and its existing soil matter before choosing a base section or drainage material.

For a driveway or patio base, remove soft organic material, shape the subgrade and place aggregate in manageable lifts. Compact each lift before adding the next. A 4 to 6 inch compacted base is a common starting range for light-duty pads and walkways, while vehicle use, wet soil and weak subgrade call for a deeper design.

Idaho's statewide frost-depth guide is 30 inches. Confirm local requirements with the local building department before placing footings, posts or any structure subject to frost rules. Slope finished aggregate away from buildings and use Drain Rock where water needs an open path through the stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Lewiston, ID

How do I measure a Lewiston driveway for gravel?

Measure the length and width in feet, then multiply them for square footage. Multiply that area by the planned depth in feet to find cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. For example, 4 inches equals one-third of a foot. Use the material calculator for the final estimate, then account for the finished depth after compaction.

Should I use garden soil or fill dirt for a low yard area?

Fill dirt is used to build up grade and shape low areas before the finish layer goes on. Garden soil belongs at the surface where planting is planned. Do not use a rich planting mix as structural fill under a drive, pad or walkway, since those projects need a compacted aggregate base.

Is 3/4 Road Mix the right base under pavers or a shed?

3/4 Road Mix is the local name for a compactable crushed base and is a sound choice under pavers and many shed pads. Spread it in lifts and compact each lift fully. Set the final depth by the load, soil condition and project requirements, then use a fine leveling layer only where the installation calls for one.

What ZIP code should I use for a Lewiston delivery?

Use 83501 for a Lewiston delivery address. Provide the full job address and describe access details during ordering. A clear placement plan helps keep the material where the work crew needs it.
