Bulk Material Delivery to Star, ID
Star is a small city or town in Ada County. Acreage work calls for material that fits the job, from long drives and farm lanes to culvert crossings and equipment pads. Idaho Rock Supply lists bulk stone, gravel, soil and mulch for online ordering with a selected delivery date.
Bulk gravel and stone for Star projects
Start with the finished use and the condition of the ground. 3/4 Road Mix is the working material for compacted driveway base, access lanes and equipment pads. It is also called 3/4 minus, road mix or crushed base, and it follows the grading referenced by ITD Section 703 3/4 inch aggregate base.
For exposed surfaces, Snake River Rock and 3/8 Chip give two different looks and uses. Snake River Rock, also called river rock or round rock, works around beds and open ground. 3/8 Chip, sometimes called pea chip or chips, suits compacted walk surfaces and areas needing a smaller stone.
For a new drive, strip loose organic material, shape the subgrade and spread 3/4 Road Mix in lifts. Compact each lift before placing the next one so the base does not stay loose under traffic. A light-duty drive commonly starts with 4 to 6 inches of compacted base, while repeated equipment traffic calls for a deeper section based on site conditions and intended loads.
Ground, frost and drainage planning in Ada County
Idaho's statewide frost-depth guide is 30 inches. Use that number as a planning reference for work affected by frost, then confirm local requirements with the local building department before setting depth for a permanent project.
Drainage needs a close look before ordering base or drain stone. Idaho guidance describes Treasure Valley ground as alluvial gravel that drains readily, while the Palouse has deep loess and the Panhandle has clay that holds water. Check the actual jobsite ground, slope and outlet before deciding how much base or Drain Rock belongs in the section.
Keep water moving away from drive edges, pads and structures. For a pipe trench, place clean drain stone around the pipe where the plan calls for it, preserve the outlet path and avoid mixing fine base material into the drainage stone.
