Driveway and Road Aggregates
When planning a driveway in Ada County, choose aggregates that handle frost, summer heat, and variable rain. Our mixes resist rutting, compact well, and shed water correctly when installed over proper base layers.
Driveway materials and recommendations
- Base layer: Use Road Base or Crusher Run for compaction and load distribution.
- Intermediate layer: Use 3/4 inch Crushed Stone for strength and interlock.
- Wearing surface: Use Driveway Gravel for a durable, clean finish that resists washout.
Projects suitable for these aggregates
- Rural lane reconstruction and repairs
- Residential driveway installation and resurfacing
- Parking pads and temporary construction access
Sands and Soils for Gardens and Play Areas
Healthy soil and the right sand are essential for landscapes in Ada County. Our topsoil and sands support irrigation efficiency and plant establishment across Boise's semi arid climate.
Soils and sand products
- Topsoil: Topsoil is screened and blended for lawns and planting beds.
- Fill dirt: Fill Dirt for building up grades and correcting low spots.
- Sands: Mason Sand, Playground Sand, and Washed Sand for bedding, play areas, and masonry work.
Why local soil matters in Ada County
Ada County soils include loess-derived silt and sandy loam in the Treasure Valley and coarser alluvial gravels along the Boise River. Near the Boise Foothills the parent material includes basalt and rocky colluvium. Using the correct topsoil and fill reduces settlement and improves water retention in our hot, dry summers and cold winters.
Drainage, Erosion Control, and Drain Rock
Proper drainage is a top concern across Boise and surrounding suburbs. When soils are fine and compacted, installing drain rock and appropriate aggregates protects foundations and landscaped beds.
Solutions we supply
- Drain Rock for French drains and footing drains
- #57 Stone under perforated pipe for high flow areas
- Crushed Concrete and Crusher Run for stabilized subgrades
Common drainage project types
- French drain installations alongside local homes
- Retention basin edge stabilization
- Driveway cross drains and culvert bedding
Decorative Rock and Xeriscape Materials
Low water landscaping is common across Ada County. Decorative rock and decomposed granite offer aesthetic, low maintenance options that suit Boise's semi arid climate.
Decorative choices we deliver
- River Rock for natural accents and stream simulations
- Pea Gravel for patios and permeable surfaces
- Decomposed Granite for stabilized pathways and courtyard surfaces
Projects ideal for decorative aggregates
- Low water xeriscape installations in Meridian and Boise
- Accent beds near commercial entries and parks
- Play area surfacing with compliant sand and pea gravel
