Gravel in Greenacres, WA

A typical tri-axle dump truck load in the Greenacres area holds about 10-12 cubic yards and usually costs in the range of $700 to $1,200 delivered, depending on gravel type and distance from the pit. Hello Gravel sells by the ton (minimum 3 tons), so smaller jobs may be priced differently or combined with other orders. Local variations, seasonal demand, and optional services like tailgate spreading will affect the final price.

Buying by the ton in bulk is usually cheapest per unit, so order at least the 3-ton minimum from Hello Gravel to get delivered pricing. For very small needs, pick-up from a nearby supplier or choosing recycled/crushed materials can save money, but factor in your time and truck rental. Always compare delivered pricing versus pickup and ask about local pits in Greenacres for lower rates.

Two cubic yards of common gravel typically cost between $60 and $160 for the material alone, depending on type (base vs decorative). Note that Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, which is often more than 2 cubic yards, so delivered costs may be higher to meet the minimum and include delivery fees. Exact pricing depends on local supplier rates and the gravel type you choose.

Crushed recycled concrete or basic crushed road base are often the least expensive options because they are locally abundant and require less processing. Decorative river rock, colored gravels, and premium washed stones usually cost more. Regional availability in eastern Washington or local pits can make certain native materials like crushed basalt more affordable here.

A 20-foot long driveway (for example 10 ft wide x 20 ft long = 200 sq ft) at a 3-inch compacted depth needs about 1.8 cubic yards (around 2.5-3 tons), so expect material costs roughly $120 to $300 plus delivery. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, you may pay for more material than strictly needed; delivered and installed costs will usually put the total in the $150 to $400 range. Final price depends on gravel type, depth, delivery access, and whether spreading is requested.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will carry vehicles; it may wash out or rut, especially in Greenacres' wet climate. For light-use driveways, plan on 4 inches compacted over a proper base, and 5-6 inches for heavier trucks or poor drainage. Good base preparation and drainage are particularly important here due to seasonal rain.

As a rule of thumb, expect about $8 to $18 per linear foot for a 100-foot driveway that is roughly 12 feet wide at a 4-inch depth, based on material costs of $40 to $80 per ton and local delivery. That range covers material and delivery; add labor for spreading and compaction if you hire it. Exact per-foot cost depends on width, depth, gravel type, and access conditions in Greenacres.

Recycled crushed concrete or crusher fines are common lower-cost alternatives that compact well and can be cheaper than clean decorative gravel. For very low-cost options, mulch or compacted native soil may work for some landscaping but are not suitable for driveways. Check local recycling yards and construction sites in the Spokane area for inexpensive reclaimed materials, but watch for contamination and variable particle sizes.

Coverage depends on depth: 1 ton of gravel covers about 115 sq ft at 2 inches, about 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 58 sq ft at 4 inches. These are approximate values based on typical gravel density and will vary with the specific material used. Always calculate with your chosen depth and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, and a standard wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so expect roughly 9 wheelbarrow loads per cubic yard. If your wheelbarrow is larger or smaller, adjust the count accordingly. This helps plan labor if you are moving material by hand.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft; at a 4-inch depth you need about 5 cubic yards (roughly 7 tons). Material and delivery typically cost between $300 and $800 depending on gravel type and local rates, with total installed costs higher if you pay for spreading and compaction. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and that access, driveway slope, and drainage needs will affect final pricing.

With proper installation, drainage, and periodic maintenance, a gravel driveway or area in Greenacres can last 10 to 25 years before major rebuild is needed. The wetter Pacific Northwest climate increases the need for upkeep such as regrading, adding top-ups, and ensuring good drainage. Regular maintenance extends life much more cost-effectively than waiting for major repairs.

Free options include checking local online marketplaces (Freecycle, Craigslist), municipal road projects offering surplus, or asking contractors after a local job for leftover material. Be cautious about the quality and contamination of free rocks and verify that sizes and types fit your project before hauling. Also check local regulations about collecting from public land.

A common and practical choice is 3/4-inch crushed stone (often called 3/4" minus) for the base because it compacts well, with a smaller 3/8-inch topping for a smoother surface if desired. Angular crushed rock with some fines performs better than rounded river rock in rainy climates like Greenacres because it locks together and resists washout. Your contractor or Hello Gravel rep can recommend the best local blend based on your site conditions.

For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep you need about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 13 tons); at 4 inches deepen you need about 12.4 cubic yards (about 17 tons). Material costs in Greenacres typically put 1,000 sq ft in the ballpark of $520 to $1,400 for material and delivery, depending on depth and gravel type.
