Materials Delivered in Teton County
Start with the job. A driveway, a patio and a drain each pull from a different part of the yard, and the local name for the material is usually the fastest way to the right load.
Road mix, the base material here
Road mix is what Idaho yards call crushed base with the fines left in. A contractor ordering 3/4 minus and a homeowner ordering road mix are asking for the same load, just by size instead of by name.
On public works plans in Idaho the same material is written as crushed aggregate, called out by Type I or Type II rather than a class number.
State highway work follows the ITD Standard Specifications, where Section 703.04 covers aggregate for untreated base, treated base and road mix and is the source of the 3/4 inch minus gradation.
Order road mix for the base course under a driveway, a parking pad, a shop floor or a shed slab. It is a compacted base, not a finished surface, and pit run goes underneath it as sub base where the ground needs building up first.
Drainage, sand and soil
Drain rock goes into french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. For bedding under pavers and slabs, or for concrete work.
For brick and block work, paver joints and play areas, Mason Sand is the finer, more even sand. Top Soil is sold screened and clean for lawns and bed prep over thin ground.
Where the native ground is too thin, too stony or too alkaline to plant into, Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Fill Dirt handles backfill and bringing a low spot up before a base course goes on top.
Ground Conditions Across Teton County
Across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, soils run thin and coarse over granite that weathers down to sandy Stone Screenings. Glacial till and moraine sit around the valley heads, with deep outwash sand and gravel on the valley floors.
That ground drains fast where it is deep. Where the soil is shallow over bedrock, or the subgrade is still frozen, meltwater crosses the surface instead, and an under-built base moves with it.
Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads. Stone Screenings washes out readily once it is disturbed, and burned slopes shed sediment and debris into the drainages below them.
This part of the state has the shortest working season anywhere in Idaho. Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring, and the reliable window runs from early summer to early fall.
Mountain winters here are long and hard, with deep snow and a heavy spring breakup that softens and ruts gravel roads and drives as the frost comes out. Frost depth figures are set by the local building official, and footing depth is that official's call.

Choosing the Right Material
Madison County sits on the Upper Snake River Plain and the eastern farm valleys, where young basalt flows carry thin soil over them and river sand and gravel runs along the Snake and the Henrys Fork. Wind-laid silt and dune sand sit north of the river, with deeper irrigated silt loam on the farmed ground.
That is a different ground from the thin, coarse soils and outwash here. On basalt, drainage is a matter of where the water can go, so a clean drain rock layer matters more than it does in deep outwash.
Fremont County spans more than one zone, taking in both the Upper Snake River Plain and the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys. Where it sits on the mountain side, the ground and the base choice are the same as here.
In Teton County, order road mix for the base and pit run underneath it where grade needs raising. Add drain rock where water has to move, and top with chips or crushed rock where the surface needs to stay put.
