Gravel in Kennewick, WA

Delivered gravel prices in Kennewick typically range by material: expect roughly $25-$45 per ton for road base, $30-$60 per ton for crushed stone, and $40-$80 per ton for decorative or pea gravel. Final price depends on material type, distance from local quarries, delivery location, and seasonal demand; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Common local choices are road base (compacted mix for driveways), 3/4" crushed stone (general purpose), pea gravel (decorative), and larger drainage rock (1" to 1-1/2"). Typical Kennewick price ranges are about $25-$45/ton for road base, $30-$60/ton for crushed stone, $40-$80/ton for pea gravel, and $35-$70/ton for drainage rock, though regional quarry mixes and seasonal supply can shift those numbers.

Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and suppliers across Benton County and the Tri-Cities to offer bulk gravel delivery to Kennewick addresses. Local suppliers usually keep common materials in stock, but availability can vary by season and product; check your zip code on our site to see current inventory and delivery options. For larger or specialty orders, ordering ahead helps ensure the material is reserved.

For most residential driveways in Kennewick we recommend a compacted road-base sublayer of 4" to 6" for light use and 6" to 8" for regular vehicle traffic, topped with 2" to 3" of crushed stone or decorative gravel. Install a geotextile fabric if the soil is loose to limit mixing and improve stability, and compact layers thoroughly for best results. Proper grading and drainage away from the home are important given local runoff patterns.

Use the formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 36, and convert cubic yards to tons using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard (varies by type). For 100 sq ft: 3" = 8.33 cu yd ≈ 10.8 tons, 4" = 11.11 cu yd ≈ 14.4 tons, 6" = 16.67 cu yd ≈ 21.7 tons. These are approximate—check the material density for a precise tonnage and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

Kennewick's hot, dry summers can cause dust, surface loosening, and faster breakdown of fines, while occasional freeze-thaw events can lead to minor heaving in poorly drained areas. Expect to regrade, compact, and add fresh material every few years for driveways and more often for high-traffic areas. Good drainage, compaction during installation, and periodic top-ups reduce long-term upkeep.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some HOAs or local codes may regulate driveway materials, color, setbacks, or impervious surface limits. Before starting, check Kennewick city development services and any local HOA covenants for restrictions or permit requirements. If in doubt, contact our team or the city planning office to confirm rules for your address.

For slopes and drainage channels in Kennewick, use angular crushed rock or larger clean drainage rock (3/4" to 2" depending on flow) and consider riprap for concentrated runoff areas. Combine rock with geotextile fabric, terracing, or check dams to slow water and prevent soil loss; avoid pea gravel on steep slopes because it tends to migrate. Consult a landscaper for steeper sites to size rock and erosion controls correctly.

Gravel is lowest upfront cost and easy to install but needs periodic maintenance and regrading; it handles heat well and drains naturally. Asphalt is mid-range cost with smoother driving surface and periodic sealcoating, while concrete is highest upfront cost with low routine maintenance but can reflect heat. Check local permit rules and long-term maintenance budgets—gravel is common in Kennewick for rural and budget projects, while asphalt or concrete suit heavier use or areas with stricter HOA rules.

Maintain gravel surfaces by regrading and filling ruts once a year or every few years, pulling weeds, and adding fresh top material as needed; compacting after winter or heavy use helps. Typical annual homeowner costs range roughly $50 to $400 depending on size and whether you rent tools or hire help; larger or high-traffic driveways cost more. Good installation (proper base, fabric, and compaction) lowers ongoing maintenance expenses.

Deliveries to Kennewick are made by local contracted dump-truck fleets (usually tri-axle) and require access for the truck to dump in the driveway or approved spot; Hello Gravel coordinates timing and supplier. The company has a 3-ton minimum, offers standard 2+ business day delivery and optional next-day delivery for earlier orders, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion with no guarantees. Add delivery instructions and a preferred drop spot during checkout, and call customer service if access or timing needs special handling.
