Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in St. Anthony, ID
What do you put under a shop pad when the ground is thin soil over young basalt? For gravel and aggregate delivery in St.
Anthony, ID, Idaho Rock Supply starts most answers with road mix. Road mix is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
It is the same load a contractor calls 3/4 minus. Order it by the ton, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, and you choose a delivery date there.

Materials for St. Anthony Projects
Raising grade and building pads come before anything decorative. A low spot gets brought up with Fill Dirt, then a base course goes on top of it.
For a driveway, a parking pad or a shop floor, the base is 3/4 Road Mix. It is crushed base with the fines left in, which is what lets it lock up under a roller.
Pit run is unprocessed gravel straight from the pit, rock and fines mixed at whatever sizes the pit gives. Use Pit Run as sub base under road mix, as structural fill, or for filling holes and raising grade.
It is not a finished surface.
For a patio or a path, bed the pavers on Washed Sand and top the surface with 3/8 Chip. Chips are angular, so they knit together and stay where they are put.
For a drain, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.
Ground and Conditions in St. Anthony
Across the Upper Snake River Plain and the eastern farm valleys, young basalt flows sit close to the surface with thin soil over them. Water has nowhere to go, so a drive or a footing rests on shallow ground over rock.
That is why an under-built base shows up fast here. A pad that was never brought up to grade with fill dirt and capped with road mix will move once the spring heaving thaw arrives.
The working season is short. Frozen ground stops compaction from late fall to early spring, and the dependable base and paver window runs from late spring into early autumn.
Spring runoff off the mountains, wind moving dune sand and dry field soil, and canal bank washouts during snowmelt all work on bare ground. Rip rap armors a culvert outlet or a canal bank against that.
