Buy Crushed Gravel in Blackfoot, Idaho

Crushed gravel projects in Blackfoot are best planned for the warmer months. About 162 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the window for grading and compaction to roughly late spring through early fall. Scheduling your delivery during that window gives the material time to settle before freeze-up.

The right crushed gravel size and a solid base keep your driveway or pad stable through Blackfoot's freeze-thaw cycles. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton direct to your site, with loads from one ton to over 40 tons.

How Blackfoot's Climate and Soils Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

Blackfoot gets about 12 inches of precipitation a year. That is low enough that washout of a crushed gravel surface is not a major concern, but drainage planning still matters on larger pads. With about 38 days a year bringing measurable rain, you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than working in mud.

About 30 inches of snow falls annually. Snowplowing can push loose surface gravel aside, so a top layer of 3/8" Crushed Gravel or a larger size that is well compacted holds up better to plow blades. The ground freezes deep and long here: about 162 days below 32F. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A stable base with 3/4" or 1 1/2" crushed gravel reduces frost heave issues.

Soils mapped in the Blackfoot area are commonly well drained. That means you may not need as thick a base layer to shed water. The ground around Blackfoot is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough for most residential and farm applications.

Estimating How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

To figure out how many tons, measure the length, width, and planned depth in feet. Multiply to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to do the math for you. Loads can be one ton to over 40 tons, and you order by the ton online.
