Gravel in Aberdeen, WA

In Aberdeen and the West Washington region, bulk gravel delivered to your site typically ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton, depending on rock type and whether delivery is included. A rough conversion is 1 cubic yard = about 1.4 tons, so expect roughly $42 to $98 per cubic yard delivered. Seasonal demand, truck access, and material type (pea, crushed, river rock) will affect the final price.

For driveways in Aberdeen's wet, coastal climate, angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") is usually best because it compacts and locks together to resist rutting. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive but tend to migrate and not compact well, so they are better for decorative paths with good edging rather than primary driveways. If you expect frequent wet conditions or sandy soils, add a compacted base layer and consider geotextile fabric to improve stability.

Use area times depth to estimate: typical conversions are 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. As examples, a 1-car driveway (10x20 ft) at 3" thickness needs about 2.5 to 3 tons; a 2-car driveway (20x20 ft) needs about 5 to 6 tons at 3"; a 10x20 patio at 3" needs about 2.5 to 3 tons; a 100 ft walkway 3 ft wide at 3" needs about 4 tons. Always order 10% extra for compaction and spoil, and increase depth to 4"-6" for driveways on softer, coastal soils.

Yes, in many cases geotextile fabric is recommended for Aberdeen, especially where soils are sandy, silty, or prone to saturation. Fabric helps separate the gravel from the native soil, reduces mixing and rutting, and improves drainage, which is valuable in our wet winters. It adds a small upfront cost but can greatly reduce maintenance and extend the life of the gravel surface.

Labor and installation costs vary by site conditions, but expect contractor-installed gravel driveways in West Washington to range roughly $2 to $6 per square foot for basic grading, base preparation, and spreading. Factors that raise cost include heavy excavation, hauling long distances, adding geotextile, culverts, or drainage work. Hello Gravel delivers the material; get local quotes for labor so you can compare material-plus-self-install vs. full contractor price.

Gravel drains well but can rut and wash in prolonged wet weather if not properly installed with a compacted base and good grading. Expect to regrade and add fresh topcoat every 2 to 5 years depending on use, and inspect after heavy storms to repair low spots and fill ruts. Regularly clean out nearby vegetation, maintain edge restraints, and top-dress low areas to keep surfaces stable.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is easier to install, but requires more regular maintenance such as regrading and topping up. Asphalt typically costs more up front—commonly $3 to $7 per square foot in the region—but lasts longer with less frequent upkeep. For homes in Aberdeen with coastal, wet soils, asphalt can offer a smoother, longer-lasting surface, while gravel remains a cost-effective, permeable option if maintained.

For rural lots near Aberdeen, pair gravel with proper grading, swales, and if needed, French drains or culverts to move water away from the surface. Use geotextile fabric under the gravel, durable edging or timber/metal edging, and consider riprap or check dams on steep slopes to prevent washouts. For coastal properties, evaluate seasonal runoff patterns and avoid placing gravel where tidal or groundwater flooding is common.

Permit and HOA rules vary: some Aberdeen city and Grays Harbor County zones allow gravel driveways without a building permit, while others or specific HOAs may have rules about material, drainage, or appearance. Before buying material, check with Aberdeen city planning or your HOA to confirm any setbacks, surfacing requirements, or stormwater rules. Hello Gravel can provide material quotes, but permits and approvals are the customer's responsibility.
