Fill and Base Material Delivered in Yellow Pine, ID
Idaho Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Yellow Pine, ID to mountain ground where the soil is thin and coarse. Road mix is the base under drives, pads, shop floors and shed slabs here.
It is crushed base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.
Yellow Pine sits in Valley County, in the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys, where the working season is short and the ground has to be built up before anything goes on top.

Materials for Yellow Pine Projects
Raising grade and building pads come first on most ground here, because thin mountain soil will not carry a base on its own. Fill dirt brings a low spot up.
Pit run goes under road mix as sub base and as structural fill.
Road mix is the base course itself, and 3/4 minus is the same load asked for by size. On public works plans in Idaho, crushed aggregate is called out by type rather than by a class number.
For a driveway, start with 3/4 Road Mix as the compacted base, then top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. A long rural approach gets both.
For a patio or walkway, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive needs. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.
For drainage, Drain Rock is clean angular rock for french drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. It comes in 3/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch.
RipRap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and cut slopes against snowmelt and cloudburst runoff.
Ground and Conditions in Yellow Pine
Soils across the Central Idaho mountains and high valleys are thin and coarse, sitting over granite that weathers into sandy Stone Screenings. Glacial till and moraine collect around the valley heads.
Valley floors carry deep outwash sand and gravel.
That ground drains fast where it is deep, but shallow soil over bedrock sends meltwater across the surface instead. Stone Screenings also washes out readily once it is disturbed, so an under-built base loses its shape fast.
Spring snowmelt and rain on snow scour creek banks and mountain roads, and burned slopes shed sediment into the drainages below. This is the shortest working season in the state.
Snow and frozen ground close out base and paver work from late fall until the ground dries in late spring, so the reliable window runs from early summer to early fall.
Long hard mountain winters bring deep snow and heavy spring breakup. As the frost comes out, gravel roads and drives soften and rut.
Build the base to suit that, and set footing depth with the local building official.
Questions About Material in Yellow Pine
What is the best base under pavers in Yellow Pine?
Road mix, sold here as 3/4 Road Mix, is the base to compact under pavers. It is crushed base with the fines left in, which lets it lock up under a roller.
Cover it with a leveling course of Stone Screenings to bed the pavers and fill the joints. On thin mountain ground, bring the grade up with fill dirt first so the base has something to sit on.
