Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in North Fork, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in North Fork, ID to the job you are planning, whether that is a driveway, a shed slab or a set of raised beds. Road mix is the base most of that work sits on.
This page leads on soil and fill, because thin mountain ground is what most North Fork yards start from.
Materials for North Fork Projects
Ground here is thin and stony, so grading and bed prep usually come first. Fill dirt, also called structural fill, brings a low spot up before anything goes on top of it.
Screened topsoil goes over that for lawns and bed prep. Garden soil, or garden mix, fills raised beds where the native ground is too stony to plant into.
Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or road base, is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. It is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
Pit run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, and it works as sub base under road mix or as structural fill. It is not a finished surface.
Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. Idaho sells it in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
Ground and Conditions in North Fork
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, water is what decides how a yard performs. Coarse granitic ground drains fast where it is deep.
Where soil is shallow over bedrock, meltwater runs across the surface instead of soaking in. Subgrade that is still frozen does the same thing through spring breakup.
Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads. Disturbed Stone Screenings washes out readily, and burned slopes shed sediment into the drainages below them.
That is why a drainage layer and a compacted base matter more here than a decorative finish does. Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against snowmelt and cloudburst 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.
Building officials in the highest valleys use deep footing figures, and the local building official sets footing depth. Blaine County uses at least 32 inches.
