3/4 Minus, Stone and Soil Delivery in Springfield, ID
Idaho Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Springfield, ID, and the load that answers most of this ground is road mix. Spring runoff, canal seepage and heavy irrigation water have to go somewhere.
Where basalt sits close to the surface, water has nowhere to go. Washed stone gives it a path.
Materials for Springfield Projects
Start with the washed stone. Drain rock, sold here as 3/4 clean, is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.
Idaho yards stock it in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch. It carries water instead of holding it, which is the whole job around a footing or a low corner.
For a french drain or a drywell, Drain Rock is the load. #57 Stone works the same way for drainage and concrete aggregate.
Coarser sizes suit heavier water. #4 Crushed Stone goes into trench bottoms and construction entrances.
Below the washed stone sits the base course. Road mix, also called 3/4 road mix, is crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
It is what Idaho yards call the base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs. Order 3/4 Road Mix for that work.
Unprocessed gravel is a different product. Pit run comes straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives, and it is not a finished surface.
Use Pit Run as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, or to fill holes and raise grade.
Chipped rock surfaces what the base carries. 3/8 chip is angular, so it knits together and stays where it is put.
That makes 3/8 Chip a leveling course and a topping over compacted base on paths. Idaho says crushed rock far more often than crushed stone.

Ground and Conditions in Springfield
The working season here is short. Frozen ground stops compaction from late fall to early spring.
The dependable base and paver window runs from late spring into early autumn. Time a delivery inside that window and the base still compacts.
Across the Upper Snake River Plain and the eastern farm valleys, young basalt flows sit under thin soil. Drives and footings rest on shallow ground over rock.
Canal seepage and heavy spring irrigation lift the water table under low farmed ground. That water needs a clean stone layer to move through.
Spring runoff off the mountains and wind moving dry field soil both work on exposed ground. Armor creek banks, culvert outlets and pond edges with RipRap where water scours.
Where the native ground is thin, stony or alkaline, plants struggle. Garden Soil and Top Soil give lawns and beds something to root into.
Questions About Gravel in Springfield
Do you deliver road mix to Springfield, ID?
Yes. Idaho Rock Supply delivers road mix, also called 3/4 road mix or crushed base, to Springfield and the surrounding Bingham County area.
Order online by the ton or by the yard, then pick your delivery date at checkout. Road mix is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed slabs.
What gravel is best for a driveway in Springfield?
Base it with road mix. The fines left in the mix lock it up under a roller, which suits thin ground over basalt.
Surface the top with driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed rock where you want angular stone that stays put. Drain rock handles the water that spring runoff and irrigation push under the drive.
