Gravel in East Hoquiam, WA

Costs vary by material, amount, and service, but most East Hoquiam homeowners pay between $0.75 and $2.50 per square foot for material and delivery for a basic gravel resurfacing. If you add labor for professional spreading and compaction, installed costs commonly run from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot depending on depth and site access. Hello Gravel shows upfront delivery pricing during checkout and you can request spreading at checkout, noting drivers perform spreading at their discretion with no guarantees.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers serving East Hoquiam so you can see nearby driveway-grade options without calling multiple yards. Check your zip code on our site to view available materials, or contact our team for supplier recommendations and specific product names that match local geology. If you prefer, ask for common driveway mixes like 3/4" crushed rock, road base, or crush-and-run when ordering.

In wet climates, angular, well-draining crushed rock is best because it sheds water and locks together when compacted. Use a compactable base such as 3/4" crushed rock or road base for the structural layer, and top with washed gravel or larger 3/4" to 1" rock for drainage and traction. Avoid fine, sandy mixes that hold water and can rut in prolonged rain.

A 12x40 ft driveway is 480 square feet. For a 2" resurfacing layer you will need about 4.1 tons, for 3" about 6.2 tons, for 4" about 8.3 tons, and for a deeper 6" rebuild about 12.4 tons (estimates assume roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Hello Gravel has a material calculator on site to refine these numbers for the exact product and local density; our minimum order is 3 tons.

Crushed rock is generally better for walkways and patios that need durability and drainage in rainy East Hoquiam conditions because it compacts well and resists washing. Decomposed granite (DG) can provide a softer, natural look but may wash out faster in heavy rain and often needs stabilizer or edging to stay in place. Choose crushed rock for high-traffic or sloped areas and DG for low-traffic decorative paths with good drainage.

Yes, in low-lying or poorly draining areas we recommend a compacted base layer and a drainage plan to prevent standing water. Typical solutions include geotextile fabric, 4 to 6 inches of compacted road base or crushed rock, and French drains or surface grading to move water away. Proper sub-base and drainage greatly extend the life of a gravel surface in Pacific Northwest conditions.

With good drainage and proper base, expect light regrading every 1 to 3 years and a topping up of surface gravel every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and weather. Heavier use or poor drainage will increase maintenance frequency, while thicker initial base and quality materials reduce it. Regular maintenance like filling low spots and regrading keeps the driveway functioning and can delay major repairs.

Yes, gravel driveways can support heavy trucks if you build a proper sub-base and use a structural material like road base or 3/4" crushed rock compacted to at least 4 to 6 inches. For regular heavy loads, add a thicker base and consider geotextile fabric or a crushed rock sub-base layer to distribute weight and prevent rutting. Consult a local contractor for site-specific recommendations and order extra tons to allow for compaction.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA, so check your HOA covenants and contact East Hoquiam city or county planning offices before installing a new driveway or changing curb appearance. Some HOAs restrict visible gravel types, edge treatments, or require permits for driveway aprons and drainage work. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you to local resources but you should confirm rules before ordering.

Standard delivery to East Hoquiam typically requires at least 2 business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials are delivered by local dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle) and drivers will place material where safe and accessible; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at driver discretion with no guarantee. Hello Gravel provides upfront delivery pricing and scheduling during checkout to help plan your project.

Choose angular, 3/4" crushed rock or a graded road base mix for the structural layer because the angular particles lock together and allow water to pass through the voids. Top with a larger, washed 3/4" to 1" finish stone for surface drainage and traction, and consider a coarser base in wetter spots. Always pair the chosen size with proper compaction and grading to move water away from the surface.

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