Delivery to Marsing and the Surrounding Area
You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site.
Delivery covers Marsing and the rest of Owyhee County, including Homedale, Grand View, Murphy and Bruneau. Whether the drop point is a driveway, a shop pad or a bed along the house, the truck needs room to reach it.
If you are unsure how much to order, use the calculator on the product page. It takes the guesswork out of sizing a load for a bed, a path or a base.
Materials for Marsing Projects
Decorative rock carries a lot of the landscape work around Marsing. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want stone that looks right and stays put.
Snake River Rock is the round rock for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and water features. It is sold as round rock as often as river rock in Idaho yards.
Large River Rock is the bigger round stone, usually in the 2 inch to 10 inch range. It suits dry creek beds, drainage swales and heavier border work.
3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, so it rolls underfoot. That makes it a fit for patios, dog runs, play areas and walkways.
For paths and beds that need a finer surface, 3/8 Chip is angular, so the pieces knit together and stay where they are put. Use it as a leveling course or a topping over a compacted base.
Underneath any of it, road mix is the base course. Road mix is what Idaho yards call crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
It goes under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
Ground and Conditions in Marsing
The Treasure Valley and the western Snake River Plain sit on old lake silt, sand and clay with basalt beneath. On the valley floor that ground has been worked into irrigated silt loam, and the terraces along the rivers are sandy and gravelly.
Out toward the benches and the Owyhee country, hard caliche layers sit under thin desert soil. Water that gets through the sand stops at the caliche and sits there.
Caliche, clay lenses and shallow basalt perch water under yards and drives. Irrigation canals and laterals hold the summer water table high across the valley floor.
That is why an under-built base shows up fast here. Road mix placed as the base course gives a drive or a pad something that locks up instead of pumping when the ground stays wet.
Summer cloudbursts run straight off crusted desert soil instead of soaking in, which is where a drainage layer earns its place. Drain rock is the clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
The working season here runs from an early spring thaw into late fall, the longest in Idaho. Canal water running from spring to autumn governs when work along ditches and laterals can happen.
