Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Wallace, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Wallace, ID, and the loads start with a number. Size yours on the calculator on each product page, then pick the material.
For a drive, a shop pad or a shed slab, that material is road mix, the crushed base with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.
Wallace sits on Panhandle forest and glacial ground, where the ground holds water through the wet months. That shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Wallace Projects
Beds, borders and dry creek beds carry a lot of the landscaping work here. Decorative rock gives you ground cover that holds its color and does not wash out, and it handles a slope better than bare dirt does.
Start with Snake River Rock, the round rock Idaho yards sell for decorative beds and dry creek beds. For heavier features, Large River Rock runs from about 2 inch to 10 inch and works in borders and drainage swales.
Where a bed needs a finer finish, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is round and uncrushed, which suits patios, walkways and dog runs. Cover bare ground with Shredded Mulch instead, and it holds moisture through a dry Idaho summer.
Under all of it, driveways and pads want 3/4 Road Mix. Contractors here order the same load as 3/4 minus or as crushed aggregate on public works plans.
Ground and Conditions in Wallace
Across the Panhandle forest and glacial ground, volcanic ash sits over windblown loess, with a dense fragipan below it. That layer is close to watertight, so winter rain and snowmelt collect above it and sit near the surface through the wet months.
An under-built base on ground like that loses its shape fast. Water trapped above the fragipan works into the subgrade, and a drive that was never given a proper base course starts to break up from underneath.
Erosion follows the same pattern. Rain on snow and spring melt cut steep forest and logging roads, and ash-capped soil moves quickly once the forest litter is stripped off it.
Wet ground from late fall through spring limits work here more than cold does. Base and paver work waits for the ground to drain, and the dependable window is midsummer into early fall.
Wet Pacific winters freeze and thaw again and again rather than locking up once, which heaves gravel drives and breaks up unpaved surfaces every spring.
