Bulk Gravel Delivery to Smelterville, ID
Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Smelterville, ID online, by the ton or by the yard. Idaho Rock Supply drops bulk loads for driveways, pads and beds across Shoshone County.
Start with road mix, the crushed base with fines left in that locks up under a roller. It goes under drives, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
Ground and Conditions in Smelterville
Ground on the Panhandle forest and glacial ground side sits wet through the wet months. Ash and loess over a dense fragipan hold winter rain and snowmelt near the surface.
A thin base over that ground shows the failure fast. The surface pumps, ruts and loses its edge once the subgrade stays soft underneath it.
Fix the subgrade before the surface. Fill dirt brings a low spot up to grade, and road mix goes on top as the compacted base.
Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work here more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain.
The dependable window runs midsummer into early fall. Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again, which heaves gravel drives and breaks up unpaved surfaces every spring.
Frost depth figures are set by the local building official. Ask about footing depth for the town or county before you plan flatwork.
Materials for Smelterville Projects
Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides whether the surface stays flat. The bedding layer takes the load, spreads it and holds the joints tight.
Washed concrete sand beds pavers and slabs.
Mason Sand, sold locally as mortar sand, suits brick and block work and paver joints. It is a fine, even sand for anywhere a tight joint matters.
Stone Screenings, called crusher fines or chat here, bed paver and flagstone work. They also fill joints and surface compacted pathways.
3/4 Road Mix is the base course below all of it. Contractors asking for 3/4 minus and homeowners asking for road mix want the same load.
On public works plans across Idaho, this material is specified as crushed aggregate, called out by Type I or Type II rather than a class number.
Fill Dirt, or structural fill, brings grade up before a base course goes on. Pit Run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, used as sub base or structural fill, never as a finished surface.
