Bulk Material Delivery in Shoshone, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Shoshone, ID to your site by the ton. Road mix is the base this market builds on, the crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
Shoshone sits in Lincoln County, where a thin blanket of soil covers fractured basalt and water has to go somewhere. That shapes what you order.
Materials for Shoshone Projects
Drainage is the job that decides how a Shoshone yard performs. Washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs all sit on clean angular rock that lets water move instead of ponding against a foundation.
Water here either drops into fractured basalt or backs up where the soil over the rock is thin and tight.
Start with the washed sizes. Drain Rock is clean angular rock for French drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs.
It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea at a tighter size, and it also beds pipe and surfaces drives where you want an angular rock that stays put. Idaho says crushed rock far more often than crushed stone.
Below that sits Stone Screenings, the fines that bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints on a compacted path.
Beneath any of those goes the structural material. 3/4 Road Mix is the base course under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
Contractors ordering 3/4 minus are asking for the same load.
Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, and it works as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, and for filling holes and raising grade. It is not a finished surface.
On top, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted road mix base on a long rural approach. 3/8 Chip does the finer work, since chips are angular and knit together where round gravel rolls underfoot.
Round rock has its own place. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits patios, dog runs and play areas, and Snake River Rock handles decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
Where snowmelt and cloudburst runoff need holding back, RipRap armors creek banks, culvert outlets, canal banks, pond edges and cut slopes.
For planting, Top Soil goes over thin desert soil and stony ground for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds where the native ground is too thin or too alkaline to plant into.
Sand rounds out the order. Washed Sand beds pavers and slabs and handles concrete work, and Mason Sand covers brick and block, paver joints and play sand.

Ground and Conditions in Shoshone
Work around here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Spring dust and an early fall freeze-up mark the practical limits at either end, so the timing of a delivery matters as much as the material on it.
The ground under Shoshone is a thin blanket of wind-laid silt loam over fractured basalt across the Magic Valley and the central Snake River Plain. Rock often sits within a few feet of the surface.
That shallow soil is why water either runs into the basalt and vanishes or backs up where the soil over the rock is thin and tight. Drainage layers earn their place here, and so does a base course that locks up instead of pumping.
Wind strips dry bare fields and cloudburst runoff cuts into canyon rims and coulees. Exposed ground needs cover or armor, whether that is rip rap on a slope or road mix under a drive.
Winters are cold and dry with hard freezing and repeated thaw cycles on open ground. Any published frost depth is set by the local building official, so check with the jurisdiction before you build to it.
Questions About Ordering in Shoshone

What gravel is best for a driveway in Shoshone?
Road mix is the base course under a Shoshone driveway, the crushed base with fines left in so it locks up. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops that compacted base.
Where the ground is thin over basalt and water backs up, a clean drain rock layer below helps move water away.
