Gravel in Renton, WA

Costs vary by material and truck access, but expect roughly $40 to $120 per ton delivered in the Renton area depending on type, quantity, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing for local suppliers and often offers free delivery in many areas, but get a zip-code quote for an exact price and any delivery fees.

Crushed rock (3/4" minus or 1" minus) is a good all-around choice for Renton because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel or river rock looks nice for walkways but can shift and is less stable for driveways; use crushed rock for driving surfaces and pea gravel as an accent or top layer.

A common 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) needs about 5 to 7 tons for a 3 to 4 inch top layer. If you need a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches, plan on 8 to 11 tons. Use our calculator or provide exact dimensions and desired depth for a precise quote.

Most local suppliers in the Renton area focus on delivery; some can refer or coordinate with local contractors who provide spreading and compaction. Hello Gravel arranges delivery and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but compaction is usually a separate contractor service you should schedule locally.

Yes. Crushed rock with angular pieces and well-graded sizes drains better and locks together, creating a stable base that still allows water to pass. Pea gravel is rounder and drains okay but tends to migrate and is less effective where load-bearing and long-term drainage are needed.

Gravel performs well in Renton’s wet, mild climate because it drains quickly, reducing freeze-thaw damage. Durability depends on proper base preparation, good drainage, and periodic maintenance like regrading and adding material; without that, ruts and potholes can form after heavy rains.

Gravel has lower up-front cost and better drainage, making it economical for lower-traffic driveways in Renton, but it requires ongoing maintenance like regrading. Asphalt costs more initially and needs less frequent maintenance, so for heavy use or where a smooth surface is required, asphalt can be more cost-effective over time. Consider traffic, budget, and maintenance willingness when choosing.
