Materials for Ririe Projects
Slope, swale and bank protection is where the coarse end of the yard earns its place around Ririe. Snowmelt off the Caribou and Centennial ranges has to go somewhere, and a bare cut bank or a culvert outlet will move without rock on it.
RipRap is the heavy end, angular rock sized to armor creek banks, culvert outlets, canal banks, pond edges and cut slopes. It is what you set against moving water rather than over it.
Large River Rock is round rock in the 2 inch to 10 inch range. It lines dry creek beds and drainage swales and holds a border where you want the water to read as a feature instead of a ditch.
Drain Rock is clean washed rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs. It is sold in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch, and it carries water because there are no fines in it to clog the voids.
#4 Crushed Stone, which yards here ask for as 1 1/2 inch crushed rock, goes under heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.
Below the coarse stone, 3/4 Road Mix 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, and a contractor ordering 3/4 minus is asking for the same load.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile, so it helps to have the spot clear before the truck arrives. Have the area open and reachable, with nothing overhead and nothing parked where the pile is going.
Ground and Conditions in Ririe
Across the Upper Snake River Plain and the eastern farm valleys, young basalt flows sit close to the surface under thin soil. Water that cannot get down through the rock has to run somewhere, which is why swales and bank protection matter as much as the base does.
The working season is short. Frozen ground stops compaction from late fall to early spring, and the dependable base and paver window runs from late spring into early autumn.
Time a delivery around that window and the material goes down when it can still be worked.
Frost depth is set by the local building official, and about 30 inches is the figure commonly used at Idaho Falls and through the upper Snake River towns. Footing depth is the building official's call, not a yard decision.
Spring runoff off the Caribou and Centennial ranges, wind moving dune sand and dry field soil, and canal bank and culvert washouts during snowmelt all drive the same answer: coarse stone where the water runs.
Questions About Rock and Delivery in Ririe
What stone should I use for drainage in Ririe?
For french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs, use drain rock, the clean washed rock sold in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch. It has no fines, so water moves through the voids instead of sitting in them.
For heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms, step up to #4 crushed stone.
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with nothing overhead and no vehicles in the way. The truck tips the load in one pile, so decide where that pile goes before it shows up.
