Buy Crushed Stone in Blackfoot, Idaho

Blackfoot gets about 12 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning a real concern for any crushed stone job. The right size choice can save you from settling, rutting, or erosion over time.

We stock crushed stone from 3/8-inch screenings up to 2-to-3-inch rip rap, so you can match the rock to the load. Whether you need a tight paver bedding or a heavy base for a driveway, the size determines the performance.

Local Conditions and Their Effect on Crushed Stone Projects in Blackfoot

With only about 38 days a year that see a measurable rain, scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is usually straightforward. But the 162 days that drop below freezing and a deep, long frost mean the work window is real. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

Snowfall averages about 30 inches a year, which can damage a loose surface if you plow before the stone is compacted. The deep frost also means the base layer needs to be deep enough to resist heaving. Soils mapped in the Blackfoot area are commonly well drained, so you can often use standard base depths without an extra lift of coarse stone.

The ground around Blackfoot is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. That behavior means a standard base depth is usually enough to keep water from pooling under the stone.

Estimating the Amount of Crushed Stone You Need

Tonnes are calculated from the length, width, and depth of your project area. A basic rule is that a cubic yard of crushed stone weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.7 tons, depending on the size and moisture. For a precise number, enter your measurements into our crushed stone calculator to get a delivered tonnage for your address.
