Gravel in Granite Falls, WA

Delivered price depends on product and supplier, but expect rough ranges: crushed rock or 3/4" crushed stone $35-$65 per ton, pea gravel $45-$80 per ton, and 1-1/2" minus or base rock $30-$60 per ton. Prices vary with season, local availability, and truck distance, so use these as estimates and check your zip code for exact quotes.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for most deliveries, which fits many small projects. Remote or long-haul deliveries around West Washington may incur additional fees (fuel surcharge, long-haul fee, or extra labor) and some suppliers add charges for difficult access, so confirm fees and truck type before ordering.

For wet, coastal-temperate Granite Falls, a layered approach works best: a well-draining base of 6"-8" compacted 1-1/2" minus or crushed rock, geotextile fabric to limit migration, and a finished wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone or pea gravel. Build a slight crown for runoff, install perimeter drains or French drains where water pools, and compact in 2-3" lifts for stability; consider a stabilizer or grid if washout is a recurring problem.

Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a quick conversion. A 12'x40' driveway at 3" depth needs about 4.4 cubic yards or ~6.2 tons (4" depth ≈ 5.9 cy or ~8.3 tons). A 20'x30' patio at 3" requires about 5.6 cubic yards or ~7.8 tons, and a 10'x20' parking pad at 3" is about 1.9 cubic yards or ~2.6 tons (round up to meet the 3-ton minimum).

Permit and HOA rules vary by city, county, and neighborhood covenant. Granite Falls and Snohomish County may have restrictions for front-yard surfacing, stormwater runoff, or impermeable area changes, so check local planning or HOA documents and call the city or county planning office before ordering materials.

Installed costs vary with site conditions: simple regrade and new top 3" of gravel might run $3-$6 per sq ft, while full reconstruction with base, fabric, and compaction can be $6-$12 per sq ft. Typical total installed cost for a 12'x40' driveway therefore ranges from roughly $2,000 to $6,000 depending on base depth, drainage work, and local labor rates.

In a wet climate like Granite Falls, plan to regrade or fork over the surface every 1-3 years and add a thin lift (1/2" to 1") every 2-5 years to replace lost fines. Small driveway maintenance by a local contractor or homeowner can run $50-$300 annually; heavier repairs or regraveling will cost more depending on tonnage and access.

Stabilized or resin-bound systems reduce washout, tracking, and routine regrading, which helps in wet West Washington conditions, but they cost significantly more up front (commonly $12-$35 per sq ft installed versus $1.50-$6 for loose gravel). They can be cost-effective for high-traffic areas or where maintenance access is difficult, but for long rural drives loose gravel with good base and drainage is often the cheaper option.

Washed and screened gravel has fewer fines and looks cleaner, and it often drains and resists mud better, making it a good choice for finished driveways. Unwashed or 'bank-run' materials are usually cheaper and may compact well if they contain fines, but they can be caked with clay or organic material in our region; availability and price depend on local quarries.

Expect dump trucks (typically tri-axle) to deliver on a scheduled date; many contractors add loader or small dozer charges ($100-$200 per hour) if they need to move or spread material. Truck access limits, tight turns, and slope can add fees, and tailgate spreading by drivers is sometimes available but always at the driver's discretion, so confirm spreading and equipment needs ahead of delivery.

Check your zip code for exact material availability and ask suppliers whether the product is washed, screened, or recycled; always verify delivery access, confirm the 3-ton minimum, and schedule delivery for a dry day if possible. If you are unsure about quantities, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for guidance and a tailored quote.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
