Gravel in Napavine, WA

Delivered gravel prices in Napavine vary by type and supplier, but typical ranges are: crushed rock or 3/4" minus: $30-$60 per ton ($42-$84 per cubic yard); pea gravel: $45-$75 per ton ($63-$105 per cubic yard); crushed shale: $30-$55 per ton ($42-$77 per cubic yard). Prices depend on delivery distance, minimum order (we require 3 tons), and seasonal demand, so get a local quote for exact pricing.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers serving Napavine and West Washington; many suppliers offer delivery and some offer tailgate spreading. Tailgate spreading is performed at the driver’s discretion for safety and access reasons, so request spreading at checkout and confirm with the driver on arrival.

Use this quick rule: one ton of compacted gravel covers about 116 sq ft at 2" depth, about 77 sq ft at 3" depth, and about 58 sq ft at 4" depth. These estimates use a conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard and include typical compaction; adjust upward 10-20% for heavy compaction or uneven ground.

For Napavine's cool, wet conditions, angular crushed rock mixes (3/4" minus or crushed rock base) perform best because they interlock and shed water when graded properly. Avoid loose pea gravel as a sole driving surface; instead use it as a wearing layer over a compacted crushed-rock base and add proper drainage (culverts, swales, geotextile) to reduce washouts and frost heave.

Expect light maintenance (raking, filling ruts, patching low spots) every year after heavy rains, and a more substantial top-up or regrading every 3-5 years depending on traffic. Typical small driveway maintenance runs $100-$400 for grading plus the cost of added material (see delivered price per ton above); larger refreshes can run into the low thousands depending on scope.

Permits and rules vary: Napavine city and Lewis County may require driveway permits, culvert or approach permits, or setback compliance depending on location and road frontage. Check with Napavine City Hall and Lewis County Public Works before starting work, and review any HOA covenants if your property is in an association.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and easy to install and maintain in rural Napavine settings, but it requires regular upkeep and can wash in heavy rain. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but need less frequent upkeep; asphalt handles freeze/thaw well but will eventually need resurfacing, while concrete is durable but more expensive. Permeable pavers manage runoff well but have the highest installed cost; choose based on budget, drainage needs, and maintenance tolerance.

Use a layered approach: a compacted subbase of larger crushed rock, a geotextile fabric to separate soil and rock, then 3/4" minus or angular crushed rock topped with a coarser wearing layer. Add slope-specific measures like check terraces, riprap at concentrated flow points, and French drains or swales to move water away from the gravel surface to minimize erosion and frost heave.

For a 30x12 (360 sq ft) driveway: at 4" depth you need about 4.44 cubic yards (about 6.2 tons) and at 6" depth about 6.67 cubic yards (about 9.3 tons); add a 10% buffer for compaction, so order roughly 6.8 tons (4") or 10.3 tons (6"). For a 10x10 (100 sq ft) patio: at 3" depth you need about 0.93 cubic yards (about 1.3 tons); with a 10% buffer order about 1.45 tons.

Recycled aggregate is often available in West Washington and can be 10-30% cheaper than virgin gravel, but quality and consistency vary by source. Recycled material is fine for base layers and drainage fills, but for finished surfaces or color-matched projects ask for photos or a sample because recycled mixes can include variable-sized particles and mixed fines.

Minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST; note tailgate spreading is optional at the driver's discretion and material color/texture may vary due to local sourcing.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture reflect local geology and can vary. When ordering, add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, ask for supplier photos, or request a small sample pickup to confirm appearance before a large delivery.

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

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.
