What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, so the pieces knit together and stay where they are placed. Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, which is why it rolls underfoot. Idaho yards say crushed rock and chips far more often than crushed stone. Use chips for pathways and drive surfacing, and Natural Pea Gravel for patios, dog runs, play areas and walkways.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and the choice is yours at checkout. Order by the ton when you are working from a weight, and by the yard when you are working from a volume. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

Shoshone County Road Mix and Gravel Delivery, ID

Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Shoshone County, ID for contractors and homeowners alike. Some orders come from a crew building a shop pad, and some from a family putting in a garden bed.

Road mix is the base most of that work starts from, and it is the material this county asks for by name more than any other.

Materials delivered in Shoshone County

Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix, is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.

Idaho writes base material two ways. State highway work follows the ITD Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, where Section 703.04 covers Aggregate for Untreated Base, Treated Base and Road Mix and is the source of the 3/4 inch minus gradation.

Section 703.11 covers aggregate for granular subbase.

City, county and highway district work is usually written to the Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction. Section 802 there covers crushed aggregate in Type I and Type II, and Section 801 covers uncrushed aggregate.

Those are how material is described in Idaho.

Washed stone covers drain rock, 3/4 inch crushed rock and 3/8 chip. Sand covers washed concrete sand and mason sand, and soil covers screened topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt.

Ground conditions across Shoshone County

Across the Panhandle forest and glacial ground, the water driver matters more than the cold. A dense fragipan sits below the ash and loess and holds winter rain and snowmelt near the surface through the wet months.

That shallow water is why a base course needs an open drainage layer under it, and why a fines-bearing material like road mix should not be asked to drain on its own.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Rain on snow and spring melt cut steep forest and logging roads, and ash-capped soil moves fast once the litter is stripped off it.

Rip rap armors culvert outlets, creek banks and cut slopes.

Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain, and the dependable window runs midsummer into early fall.

Choosing the right material

Kootenai County, Bonner County and Benewah County all sit on the same Panhandle forest and glacial ground as Shoshone County. The ash over loess, the fragipan, the glacial till and the outwash gravel are the same story, so the base and drainage choices carry over.

What changes is the site, not the county line. A pad on ground that holds water wants an open stone drainage layer under the base.

A pad on ground that drains fast can go straight to road mix.

For a surface, the choice comes down to shape. Angular chips and crushed rock knit together and stay put, while Natural Pea Gravel is round and rolls underfoot.
