Ground here is thin and stony in most spots. That shapes what you need before anything else: fill and topsoil first, then base.
Materials for Salmon Projects
Grading and bed prep come before surfacing. Bring a low spot up and firm it, then build on top of it.
Fill and soil carry that work in Salmon, where the native ground runs shallow and rocky.
Fill Dirt is structural fill for backfill and raising grade. Use it to bring a low spot up before a base course goes over it.
Top Soil is screened clean for lawns and bed prep. It goes over thin, stony ground that will not hold seed or plants as it sits.
Garden Soil is a garden mix for raised beds and planting areas. Reach for it where the native ground is too thin, too stony or too alkaline to plant into.
Base materials come next. 3/4 Road Mix, also called 3/4 minus, is crushed base with the fines left in, and it is the base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines at whatever sizes the pit gives. It works as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, and for filling holes and raising grade.
It is not a finished surface.
For drainage, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs, sold in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
Sand beds hardscape. Washed Sand is a C33 sand for bedding under pavers and slabs, backfill and concrete work.
Mason Sand is a mortar sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.
Decorative rock finishes beds and borders. Snake River Rock is round rock for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and water features.
Large River Rock covers heavier decorative work and drainage swales.
Ground and Conditions in Salmon
Start with water and where it goes. Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, coarse ground drains fast where it is deep.
Shallow soil over bedrock, and subgrade still frozen, send meltwater across the surface instead.
That split decides your material. Where water moves down, a clean drainage layer carries it away.
Where it runs across, grade and a fines-bearing base matter more than open stone.
Spring is the hard season. Snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads, and disturbed Stone Screenings washes out readily.
Burned slopes above a drainage shed sediment and debris into it.
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, and the reliable window runs early summer to early fall.
Time your order to that window.
Winters here are long and hard, with deep snow and deep frost, and spring breakup softens and ruts gravel drives as the frost comes out. Footing depth is set by the local building official, so check locally before you build.
