Gravel in Yakima, WA

Costs vary by material, truck size, and site access, but expect a typical tri-axle dump load (about 10-14 tons) delivered to Yakima to fall in a broad range. For an accurate price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or get a quote—minimum orders start at 3 tons and delivery fees depend on supplier and exact address.

The most economical approach in Yakima is to buy common, locally sourced materials (like pit run or road base) by the ton and order the minimum full-load increments to avoid extra delivery fees. Compare material types and ask about recycled options like crushed concrete, then get a Hello Gravel quote to see total delivered cost to your address.

For durability in Yakima, choose a crushed aggregate such as 3/4" minus, crusher run, or class II road base—these compact tightly and resist displacement. Add a well-compacted base layer and a 2-3" wearing course of crushed rock for best long-term performance on local soils.

Costs depend on driveway width, depth, and material; a simple way to estimate is per square foot. Expect a rough materials-plus-delivery range of $6 to $20 per square foot for a properly prepared 2-3" wearing layer over a compacted base in Yakima—get a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel for an exact number.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Yakima; it may shift and allow weeds or ruts to form. We recommend at least a 4-6" compacted base (crushed rock) plus a 2-3" wearing layer of gravel for driveways, with geotextile fabric where soils are soft.

Per-foot cost varies with width and build-up, but a basic ballpark is $8 to $35 per linear foot depending on whether you include base prep, compaction, and material quality. For a precise per-foot estimate, provide the width, desired depth, and whether you need site prep and get a Hello Gravel quote.

As a rule of thumb, tons = area (sq ft) * depth (in inches) * 0.00432. In Yakima, that means 1 ton of typical crushed gravel will cover roughly 110 to 120 sq ft at 2" depth; use our online material calculator or ask our team for a tailored estimate.

You can put gravel over dirt for short-term paths, but for driveways and long-term surfaces you should grade, compact the subgrade, and install a 4-6" crushed-rock base; geotextile helps on weak or clayey Yakima soils. Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not guarantee installation or heavy site prep; request tailgate spreading at checkout and plan to hire local installers for full base work if needed.

Weeds can still emerge through 3" of gravel over time, especially in areas with persistent weed seed or thin material. Laying a weed barrier fabric and applying a pre-emergent reduces growth; we can help source fabric or recommend local suppliers at checkout, but fabric availability and installation depend on your supplier and driver discretion.

Products labeled 'crusher run', 'road base', or 'class II base' are designed to compact very firmly and are commonly used as a structural base for driveways in Yakima. Ask our sales team for the locally available base rock option in your zip code to ensure you get the right gradation for compaction.

Yes, recycled crushed concrete, recycled asphalt, and pit-run materials are often less expensive than decorative washed gravel and are suitable for base layers or temporary surfaces in Yakima. Each alternative has tradeoffs in appearance and drainage, so request samples or a quote to compare price versus performance.
