Bulk Gravel Delivery to Pollock, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Pollock, ID, with road mix at the center of most building here. Road mix is the local name for crushed base with the fines left in, and it is what goes under drives, pads and shed slabs in this part of Idaho County.

Ground and Conditions in Pollock
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, the ground is thin and coarse, sitting over granitic rock that weathers down to sandy Stone Screenings. Once that material is disturbed it washes out readily, so a shallow base over it fails fast when spring snowmelt crosses the surface.
Where the soil is shallow over bedrock, meltwater runs across the top instead of soaking away. Frozen subgrade sends it the same direction.
That is the failure you plan around, and the answer is a compacted base with a clean drainage layer beside it.
The working season here 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, and the reliable window runs from early summer to early fall.
Plan material orders inside that window.
Materials for Pollock Projects
Fines and screenings carry a lot of path and walkway work here. Stone Screenings, also called crusher fines or chat, bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and give a compacted surface that walks evenly underfoot.
Under that surface, road mix does the structural work. It locks up under a roller because the fines stay in, which is why Idaho yards call it road base.
Contractors asking for 3/4 minus are asking for the same load as a homeowner asking for road mix. Order 3/4 Road Mix for drives, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
On public works plans in Idaho, that same material is named as crushed aggregate and called out by type. If your plan says Type I or Type II crushed aggregate, it is the base course, specified by type rather than by a class number.
For a finished path surface, Walkway Gravel gives you a finer, walkable layer than a drive needs. 3/8 Chip is the angular alternative, useful as a leveling course and as topping over a compacted base.
Chips knit together and stay where they are put, unlike Natural Pea Gravel.
Base, Drainage and Fill
- Pit Run: unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed. Use it as sub base under road mix, as structural fill and for filling holes and raising grade.
- Drain Rock: clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs.
- Fill Dirt: backfill and raising grade before a base course goes on top.
- Washed Sand: bedding under pavers and slabs, backfill and concrete work.
Surfaces, Soil and Beds
- Top Soil: screened and clean for lawns and bed prep over thin desert soil and stony ground.
- Garden Soil: raised beds and planting areas where the native ground is too thin or too stony to plant into.
- RipRap: armoring creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against snowmelt and cloudburst runoff.
- Snake River Rock: round rock for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and water features.
