What is Pit Run Gravel in Idaho?
Pit run gravel Idaho — also called bank run or natural run gravel — is unprocessed aggregate excavated directly from a gravel pit without crushing or screening. It typically consists of a natural mix of sand, gravel, and cobble in varying gradations, reflecting the natural deposit composition at the source. In Canyon County and the greater Treasure Valley, river-proximate gravel pits are known for producing high-quality natural aggregate with excellent hardness and durability characteristics, shaped and sorted over time by the Boise River and its tributaries. The Idaho Transportation Department Standard Specifications address aggregate quality requirements for highway and infrastructure projects statewide, and natural pit run material is widely used across Idaho for road subbase, embankment, site preparation, and general fill on both public and private projects. Buyers requiring specific gradation or quality documentation should request the Shannon & Wilson hardness test report from the seller prior to ordering.
Why This Listing Stands Out
- 2 million tons available — one of the largest active pit run sources in Canyon County, with continuous extraction underway. Volume is not a constraint for large-scale projects.
- River-source material — proximity to the river means naturally sorted, well-rounded aggregate with strong hardness characteristics consistent with Treasure Valley river gravel deposits.
- Shannon & Wilson hardness test on file — third-party testing by a recognized geotechnical firm is available upon request, supporting use on projects requiring documented material quality.
- Competitive pricing — $6.25/ton for a high-volume, tested natural aggregate source in the Treasure Valley.
- Active extraction — material is coming out of the ground continuously, making this a reliable long-term supply source for large projects with extended haul schedules.
Best Uses
- Road subbase and base course preparation
- Embankment and large-scale fill
- Site grading and pad construction
- Driveway and access road base
- Drainage layer and French drain aggregate
- Utility trench backfill
- Concrete and asphalt aggregate (contact seller for gradation details)
- Large residential and commercial development earthwork
