Gravel in Millwood, WA

Expect regional variations, but gravel delivered to Millwood commonly ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed rock, river rock) and distance. A rough conversion is 1 cubic yard = about 1.3–1.5 tons for most gravels, so plan roughly $40 to $105 per cubic yard delivered. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and gives exact, zip-code specific pricing at checkout.

For Millwood’s wet winters, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed rock or 3/8" minus) is best because it compacts and locks together for stability and drainage. Pea gravel and river rock drain well and look nice for paths but tend to migrate and are less stable for vehicle traffic. Use crushed stone for driveways and reserve pea or river rock for low-traffic decorative paths or accent areas.

Millwood’s frequent rain means poor drainage or fines in the mix can turn a gravel surface soft and rutted. Use an aggregate with good angularity and a properly compacted base to shed water, add a slight crown or slope for runoff, and consider geotextile fabric beneath the base to prevent mixing with native soils. Proper base depth and drainage features keep gravel from becoming waterlogged or unstable after heavy storms.

Measure length x width x depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (length x width x depth ÷ 27 = cubic yards). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3–1.5 to estimate tons (gravel type affects exact weight). For example, a 20' x 40' driveway at 6" deep is 20 x 40 x 0.5 ÷ 27 = about 14.8 cubic yards, or roughly 20–22 tons; use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.

A well-built gravel driveway in Millwood can last 10–20 years with regular upkeep. Plan to regrade and fill low spots yearly, add 1–2 inches of fresh gravel every 3–5 years depending on wear, and repair any drainage issues promptly after heavy rains. Regular maintenance keeps winter potholes and spring rutting under control in a rainy climate.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and easiest to install, but it requires regular grading and topping to maintain. Asphalt has a higher initial cost than gravel but needs periodic sealcoating and patching; concrete costs the most up front and is low-maintenance but expensive to repair. In Millwood’s wet conditions, good subgrade and drainage are critical for any surface; gravel can be the most economical choice if you are willing to maintain it.

For walkways, plan 3–4 inches of compacted crushed stone over a geotextile fabric; for patios or low-traffic areas, 4–6 inches is typical. Driveways for passenger vehicles should have a compacted base of 6–8 inches of crushed rock with a 1–2 inch topcoat of smaller aggregate; increase to 8–12 inches for heavy trucks. Always compact in lifts, provide proper slope for drainage, and consider edging or curbing to keep material contained.

Decorative gravel provides good drainage and curb appeal but can wash or migrate on slopes during heavy rain if not restrained. Stabilization grids or permeable paving systems combined with a compacted base help lock decorative stone in place, reduce migration, and make surfaces usable after rain. For front-yard areas or driveways prone to runoff, use a grid plus a well-prepared base to preserve appearance and function.

Local rules vary, so check with the City of Millwood planning department and any HOA before starting work, especially for front-yard paving or changes to curb access. Also call 811 to locate underground utilities before excavating, and verify any setback or drainage requirements with the city. If you need help navigating local requirements, Hello Gravel’s team can point you toward common checks for Millwood-area projects.
