Gravel in Brier, WA

Costs in Brier vary by material, delivery distance, and job size. Expect common gravel materials to run roughly $25 to $60 per ton, with delivery fees often between $75 and $250 for a single dump depending on distance; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers free delivery in many areas. Tailgate spreading, if available, is a separate service and is performed at the driver’s discretion, so plan for possible additional labor charges. For an accurate price, request a quote via Hello Gravel using your zip code and preferred delivery date.

For Brier’s wet conditions choose angular, crushed rock with fines for a stable surface—common options are 3/4" crushed rock for top surfacing and 1-1/4" minus or road base for the underlying layer. Avoid smooth round pea gravel for driveways because it shifts and drains poorly; instead use a rock-with-fines mix that compacts and sheds water. Adding a well-graded base and geotextile fabric improves performance in the region’s frequent rain.

Here are typical estimates using 3" surface depth for driveways and 2" for walkways/patios; actual needs depend on dimensions and depth chosen. 2-car driveway (20' x 40'): about 8–12 tons. 3-car driveway (30' x 40'): about 12–18 tons. Walkway (4' x 50'): about 1.5–2.5 tons. Patio (12' x 12' at 2" depth): about 1.5–2 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a quote with your exact dimensions for a precise amount.

Gravel is more forgiving and less expensive up front than asphalt or concrete, and it drains well when properly installed, which is a benefit in Brier’s wet climate. However, gravel requires more ongoing maintenance—periodic grading, adding material, and fixing washouts—whereas asphalt and concrete need less frequent routine attention but are costlier to install and to fully replace. For low-traffic or flexible surfaces, gravel is often the most practical choice in West Washington; for high-traffic driveways or strict HOA rules, paved surfaces may be preferred.

Expect to do light maintenance every 1–3 years: rake or grade low spots, refill 1–2 inches of lost material, and repair ruts after heavy rains. With proper base preparation and periodic upkeep, a gravel driveway in Brier can function well for 10–20 years, though top-surface refreshes may be needed every few years. Regular drainage management (ditches, French drains) and removing vegetation will extend life and reduce washouts.

Local rules can vary: some HOAs and municipalities limit loose gravel or require paved driveways or design approval. Brier is a small city, so check both the city planning or public works office and any HOA covenants before ordering material. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel for delivery timing while you confirm local requirements and ask for documentation of materials if the HOA requests it.

Brier’s mild summers pose little risk to gravel—heat doesn’t degrade aggregate the way it can soften asphalt. Freeze-thaw cycles are generally less severe at low elevations in West Washington, but heavy rain and runoff during the wet season can cause erosion and rutting. Proper drainage, a compacted base, and occasional regrading keep gravel stable through seasonal changes.

For French drains and drainage trenches use clean, washed drain rock such as 3/4" to 1" crushed rock or 1/2"-3/4" washed gravel so water moves freely around the pipe. For driveways combine a compactable base (1-1/4" minus or road base) with a 3/4" crushed rock surface to balance drainage and compaction. For walkways choose a well-graded mix with some fines to hold a firm walking surface while still allowing lateral drainage.

Homeowners can source bulk gravel through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local suppliers and contracted trucking fleets that deliver by dump truck with a 3-ton minimum. Many local suppliers also offer installation or can refer contractors, but availability of spreading or installation varies—tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion and installation crews are separate services. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see supplier options, pricing, and available delivery dates in Brier.

Professional installation generally includes site prep (excavation and grading), subbase placement and compaction, geotextile fabric if needed, base layer stone, and final surface stone plus grading and compaction. Material often represents 40–70% of the total job cost, while labor, hauling, and equipment make up the rest; a simple 2-car driveway install can range widely in Brier depending on site conditions, from a few thousand dollars to over $10,000 for complex work. Request local quotes that separate materials, hauling, and labor so you can compare options and confirm what's included.
