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

Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Shoup, ID, and road mix is the base most ground here gets built on. 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.

Shoup sits in Lemhi County, where thin, coarse soils sit over granite. That ground drains fast where it is deep and sheds meltwater where it is shallow.

Materials for Shoup Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on most mountain properties. It is clean rock with the fines washed out, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

It runs French drains, foundation drains, drywells, septic drainfields and downspout runs.

Drain Rock is the clean angular rock Idaho yards sell for those jobs. It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.

#57 Stone is the same drainage job called by a national gradation number.

3/4" Crushed Stone is 3/4 chip, an angular rock that stays put. It surfaces drives, beds pipe and moves water.

Stone Screenings are the fines, used to bed pavers and flagstone and to fill joints.

For a base under any of that, 3/4 Road Mix is the load to order. Public works plans in Idaho call the same material crushed aggregate and specify it by type.

Contractors ordering 3/4 minus and homeowners ordering road mix are asking for the same thing.

Ground and Conditions in Shoup

Timing matters more here than in most of the state. Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring.

The reliable window runs early summer to early fall.

Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, the ground is thin and coarse over granite, with glacial till near the valley heads. Where soil is shallow over bedrock, meltwater crosses the surface instead of soaking in.

A drainage layer of clean washed rock handles that.

Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads, and disturbed ground washes out readily. RipRap armors culvert outlets, creek banks and cut slopes against that runoff.

Winters here are long and hard, with deep snow and deep frost. The spring breakup softens and ruts gravel roads and drives as the frost comes out.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.
