Gravel in North Stanwood, WA

Small resurfacing projects on private property often do not require a permit, but any work that changes the driveway apron, affects stormwater flow, or alters the public right-of-way may require a permit from the City of Stanwood or Snohomish County. Check with Stanwood Public Works or the Snohomish County Permit Center before you start, and mention driveway grade and curb/road work when you call. If in doubt, bring photos and measurements; permits are usually quick to confirm for straightforward resurfacing.

Yes. Snohomish County and local roads may have weight limits, seasonal load restrictions, and designated truck routes that can affect delivery access and where a dump truck can legally travel. Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers who know county and city rules, but you should tell us about narrow roads, low bridges, or private lanes when you order so we can confirm routing and any extra fees. For precise limits, contact Snohomish County Public Works or the City of Stanwood before delivery.

Prices vary by material, season, and delivery distance, but a common range near North Stanwood is roughly $40 to $75 per cubic yard delivered, or about $30 to $55 per ton delivered, depending on gravel size and source. Final price depends on the exact product (e.g., crushed rock, washed gravel, or 3/4" minus), local availability, and your zip code. Use Hello Gravel to check current, transparent pricing for your address and get an itemized quote.

For West Washington's wet climate, a layered approach works best: a 4" to 6" compacted base of angular '3/4" minus' or aggregate base course (ABC) for strength, topped with a 1" to 2" surface layer of crushed 3/8" or 1/2" gravel for a stable, rideable finish. Angular, crushed stone with some fines compacts and locks in place better than rounded river rock, helping shed water when properly graded. Also consider a geotextile fabric under the base where drainage is poor and maintain a slight crown for runoff.

A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft wide by 40 ft long = 800 sq ft) needs roughly 8 to 15 cubic yards depending on depth: about 7.5 cy for a 3" top layer, 10 cy for 4", and 15 cy for 6" depth. In tons, that equals roughly 10 to 21 tons (use ~1.4 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb). For a recommended structure (4" compacted base plus 1" surface) plan on about 10 to 12 cubic yards; use Hello Gravel's calculator or enter your exact measurements for a precise estimate.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is common among regional suppliers. Many deliveries within reasonable distance have low or no delivery fee, but fees can apply for long hauls, difficult access, or smaller orders; lead times are typically 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Crushed concrete and recycled rock are commonly used for driveway base layers in the Stanwood area and are usually allowed, though some HOAs or specific local permits may restrict them. Recycled materials typically cost less than virgin crushed rock—often 10% to 30% cheaper—but appearance, variable fines, and potential for occasional lime residue are tradeoffs. If you want a recycled product, request it in your Hello Gravel order notes and check any neighborhood or permit rules first.

Clear a 12 to 14-foot-wide access path free of low branches, parked cars, and overhead wires, and mark the desired dump spot with flags or cones so the driver can place the load safely. Note any soft ground, steep slopes, or narrow driveways when ordering; tight or uneven access can add fees or require smaller trucks and additional coordination. If you want spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival since spreading is not guaranteed.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
