Types of Rock and Gravel Available

Selecting the appropriate type of rock or gravel is crucial for the success and longevity of your project. Different materials offer distinct properties and are suited for specific uses. We provide delivery for a variety of common aggregates used in landscaping and construction:

• Pea Gravel: Composed of small, rounded stones (typically 1/8" to 3/8" in diameter), pea gravel is popular for walkways, patios, playgrounds, and decorative landscaping beds. Its smooth texture makes it comfortable underfoot.
• Crushed Stone (Various Sizes): This angular material is highly versatile.
  • 3/4" Minus (or Crushed Rock Base): A mix of crushed stone and fines, this compacts well and is ideal for driveways, pathways, and as a base layer for concrete or asphalt. The "minus" refers to the inclusion of smaller particles and dust, which aids in compaction.
  • #57 Stone: Generally refers to crushed stone roughly 1/2" to 1" in size, with minimal fines. It's excellent for drainage applications (like around pipes or in French drains), as a decorative stone, or for concrete mix.
  • Other Crushed Sizes: Depending on availability, other specific sizes of crushed rock may be suitable for different drainage needs or as aggregate in various construction mixes.
• River Rock: Naturally rounded stones, often larger than pea gravel, available in various sizes and colors. River rock is frequently used for decorative landscaping, dry river beds, erosion control, and around ponds.
• Basalt Crushed Rock: Common in the Northwest, basalt is a durable volcanic rock. When crushed, it makes for a strong, dark-colored aggregate suitable for driveways, roads, and landscaping features where a darker stone is desired.
• Fill Dirt: While not rock or gravel, clean fill dirt is often needed alongside aggregate for leveling or building up areas before laying down stone or other materials.
• Topsoil: Essential for garden beds and lawns, screened topsoil provides a nutrient-rich base for planting.
• Mulch: Organic or inorganic groundcover used for moisture retention, weed suppression, and aesthetics in landscaping beds.

Choosing the right material depends heavily on the project's purpose. Compactable materials like 3/4" Minus are best for bases, while decorative stones like pea gravel or river rock enhance appearance and drainage. If you're unsure which material is best suited for your specific application, consider consulting with a landscaping or construction professional.

How Our Rock and Gravel Delivery Process Works

Getting bulk rock or gravel delivered to your Moscow, ID location is a straightforward process designed for your convenience. Here’s a general overview of what to expect:

1. Determine Your Material Needs: Identify the type of rock or gravel you need based on your project's requirements. You'll also need to estimate the quantity required, typically measured in cubic yards or tons.
2. Request Information or a Quote: Once you know the material type and estimated quantity, reach out to us. You can do this by contacting us directly. Providing details about the material, quantity, and delivery location (including any access considerations) is essential for an accurate quote.
3. Receive Your Quote: We will provide you with a detailed quote based on the material cost, quantity, and delivery fee to your specific location in Moscow or nearby areas.
4. Schedule Your Delivery: Upon accepting the quote, we will work with you to schedule a delivery time that fits your project timeline. We aim for flexibility and reliable scheduling.
5. Prepare Your Delivery Site: Before the scheduled delivery, ensure the drop-off location is clear, accessible, and free from obstacles. Mark the desired spot clearly. Consider the truck size and weight, and ensure the ground can support it, especially during wet conditions. Our delivery trucks are substantial vehicles and require adequate space to maneuver and safely unload.
6. Receive Your Delivery: Be present or have a designated person available during the scheduled delivery window to guide the driver to the precise drop-off location and confirm the material. The driver will carefully unload the material in the designated clear area.

We strive to make every step of the process efficient, from your initial inquiry to the final material drop.

Calculating Your Material Needs

Accurately estimating the amount of rock or gravel you need is vital to avoid over-ordering or running short. Materials are commonly measured and sold by the cubic yard or by the ton.

To calculate cubic yards needed, you'll typically need to measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area you want to cover.

• Measure the Length in feet.
• Measure the Width in feet.
• Measure the desired Depth in inches.

Then, use a formula or an online calculator tool. A common calculation is:

(Length in feet * Width in feet * Depth in inches) / 324 = Cubic Yards

(Note: This formula converts depth to feet and divides by 27 cubic feet per cubic yard, then simplifies the math).

Remember that some materials, especially crushed stone, might settle slightly over time. It's often advisable to order a small amount extra, perhaps 5-10%, to account for settling, waste, or miscalculations. Different materials also have different densities, meaning a cubic yard of one material might weigh more or less than a cubic yard of another, which is why some suppliers sell by the ton, particularly for heavier aggregates.

Getting Pricing and Information

Pricing for rock and gravel delivery depends on several factors:

• Type of Material: Different aggregates have varying costs based on sourcing and processing.
• Quantity Ordered: Bulk orders often have a lower per-unit cost than smaller quantities.
• Delivery Distance: The distance from the supply source or our yard to your delivery location in Moscow, ID, impacts the delivery fee.
• Accessibility: Difficult-to-access locations might incur additional considerations.

Because these factors vary for each order, we provide personalized quotes. To get detailed pricing for the specific material and quantity you need delivered to your exact location in Moscow, ID, the best approach is to contact us directly. We can discuss your project, help confirm your material needs, and provide a transparent quote covering material and delivery costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rock Delivery

Here are answers to some common questions we receive about rock and gravel delivery services:

How quickly can I get a delivery?
‍Delivery times can vary depending on material availability, our current schedule, and your location. We recommend scheduling your delivery as far in advance as possible, especially during peak seasons. When you request a quote or place an order, we can provide an estimated timeframe.

Do I need to be home for the delivery?
‍While not always strictly necessary if the drop-off location is clearly marked and easily accessible, being present is highly recommended. This allows you to guide the driver to the precise spot and ensure the material is dropped exactly where you need it. If you cannot be present, clear instructions and markings are crucial.

What kind of truck is used for delivery?
‍We typically use dump trucks for bulk material delivery. The size of the truck depends on the quantity of material being delivered. These trucks require significant space to safely back in, maneuver, and raise the bed to unload. Consider the width and weight capacity of your driveway and any overhead obstructions (like trees or wires) when planning the drop-off location.

Can the driver spread the material?
‍Our delivery service includes dropping the material in a single pile at the designated, accessible location on your property. Drivers are not typically equipped or scheduled to spread the material. You will need to plan for spreading the rock or gravel yourself or arrange for landscaping help after delivery.

Is there a minimum order quantity for delivery?
‍Yes, there is typically a minimum quantity required for bulk delivery due to the logistics and cost of operating the delivery trucks. The minimum may vary depending on the material and your location. We will inform you of any minimums when you request a quote.

How do I determine which material is right for my project?
‍Consider the purpose of the material (drainage, decoration, base layer, walkway surface), the aesthetic you want, and the amount of traffic the area will receive. Research common uses for materials like pea gravel, crushed stone, and river rock. If you're undertaking a significant construction project, consulting with a contractor is advisable.
