Gravel in Home, WA

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Delivered gravel prices in West Washington commonly run about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed, river rock) and distance; some areas have free delivery through our network. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and exact pricing appears at checkout before you confirm.

For driveways in wet West Washington conditions, crushed angular rock (crushed basalt or 3/4" minus) performs best because it compacts and interlocks to resist rutting. Pea gravel is comfortable for walkways but tends to wash and migrate on driveways, while smooth river rock is decorative and drains well but is poor for vehicle traffic. Regional sourcing means exact color and texture vary, so add preferences in Order Notes.

A 12' x 40' driveway is 480 sq ft. Using a common conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you will need roughly: 2" depth = 4.2 tons, 4" depth = 8.3 tons, 6" depth = 12.5 tons. These are estimates; order a bit extra to account for compaction and grading or use our material calculator at checkout.

Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and you can request recommendations for full-service installers through our network. Typical labor rates in West Washington vary: individual landscapers or crews commonly charge about $50 to $100 per hour per worker, or flat bids from about $800 to $4,000 for a 2-car driveway depending on excavation, base work, and compaction. Always request written quotes detailing excavation, geotextile, base stone, compaction, and spreading.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and provides excellent drainage, which suits West Washington's rainy climate, but it requires regular maintenance (grading, adding material). Asphalt is more durable and lower maintenance but costs significantly more up front and needs a proper base to avoid freeze-thaw damage. Permeable pavers give the best stormwater performance and curb appeal but are the most expensive to install.

Permit and HOA rules vary by city, county, and association. Many jurisdictions require permits for new driveway connections or significant changes to curb areas, and some HOAs restrict surface materials or color. Check your city and county permit office and your HOA covenants before ordering; Hello Gravel can help schedule delivery once you confirm approvals.

With regular maintenance, a gravel driveway can function well for 10 to 20 years; heavy-use driveways may need more frequent attention. Plan to grade and re-distribute material once or twice a year, repair potholes as they appear, and add a fresh 1 to 2 inches of gravel every 3 to 5 years depending on traffic. In wet seasons expect more washouts and more frequent topping.

Use layered mixes: a coarse, open-graded drainage layer (1" to 1.5" rock) at the base, followed by a compactable angular base (3/4" minus) and a wearing top of 3/8" to 1/2" crushed rock for walking surfaces. On slopes, add geotextile fabric, terraces or check-dams, and larger rock at the toe to slow flow and prevent erosion. Local soils and slope steepness should guide exact sizes, so consult with a contractor or Hello Gravel for supplier recommendations.

Key local factors are heavy annual rainfall, soil type (many homes have clay or loamy soils), and slope steepness. These favor angular, well-graded crushed stone for good compaction, geotextile fabric to separate fines from native soil, and larger drainage rock where runoff is concentrated. Also consider seasonal access for delivery and any vegetation or roots that may affect installation.

Material costs in West Washington typically run about $30 to $70 per ton delivered, and a resurfacing for a 12' x 40' driveway at 2" (about 4.2 tons) would be roughly $125 to $295 for material alone. Adding labor for grading and spreading usually adds $300 to $1,200 depending on access and scope, so total resurfacing projects commonly fall in the $450 to $1,500 range. For an accurate price, request a quote through Hello Gravel and include photos and access notes.

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.
