3/4 Minus, Stone and Soil Delivery in Potlatch, ID

Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Potlatch, ID to your yard, drive or jobsite. Water is the reason most of these loads get ordered.

Silt loam over loess seals under rain and sheds water across the Palouse hills and the Clearwater and Snake canyons.

Road mix is the base that locks up under a roller, and washed stone is what moves that water away. Order both online and a dump truck tips them on site.

Materials for Potlatch Projects

French drains, drywells and downspout runs need clean washed rock that will not clog. Start coarse and work down when you size a load.

Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against spring runoff and summer cloudbursts. It is the coarsest rock on the list and it is built to hold ground in place.

Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. Idaho sells it in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.

3/4" Crushed Stone, which yards here also call 3/4 chip or 3/4 clean chips, handles drive surfacing, pipe bedding and drainage. It stays put because it is angular.

3/8 Chip tops a compacted base on pathways and leveling courses. Chips knit together, so unlike Natural Pea Gravel they hold where they land.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. They also surface a compacted path.

Base material comes next. 3/4 Road Mix is crushed base with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.

A contractor ordering 3/4 minus and a homeowner ordering road mix are asking for the same load.

On public works plans in Idaho the same material is written as crushed aggregate, called out by Type I or Type II rather than by a class number. That is how it gets specified, not a grade the material carries.

Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives. Use it as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, or to fill holes and raise grade.

It is not a finished surface.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand is the C33 gradation, for bedding under pavers and slabs, backfill and concrete work.

Mason Sand is finer and even, for brick and block work, paver joints and play areas.

Top Soil comes screened and clean for lawns and bed prep over thin ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds where the native ground is too thin or too stony to plant into.

For decorative beds, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, which is why it rolls underfoot. It suits patios, dog runs and play areas.

Snake River Rock, also called round rock, goes in borders, dry creek beds and water features.

Ground and Conditions in Potlatch

Timing decides how a delivery goes. Sticky loess mud through the wet months is the real constraint on the Palouse hills and the Clearwater and Snake canyons.

Hauling and compaction go best from late spring through fall, so plan a date around the season rather than around the calendar.

Frost matters here too. Cold, wet winters on the prairie bring frequent freeze and thaw cycles.

No published frost depth was found for Latah County, and the Idaho code leaves the frost line to the local jurisdiction, so the building official sets it.

Water behavior drives the material choice. Silt loam over loess seals under rain and sheds water instead of taking it in, so long slopes push runoff onto roads, drives and yards.

Water also perches where the loess sits on basalt.

That is the case for washed stone. Drain rock, chips and crushed rock give runoff somewhere to go instead of letting it sit against a foundation or under a drive.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet and rill erosion on cropped loess slopes in this part of the state runs heavy, and canyon roads, culverts and creek banks scour under spring runoff and summer cloudbursts.

Rip rap and coarse rock armor those spots.

Base material holds up when the subgrade underneath does. Pit run raises grade first, then road mix goes on top as the compacted base for a drive, pad or slab.
