Gravel in Oak Harbor, WA

Delivered gravel in Oak Harbor commonly ranges from about $35 to $90 per ton depending on the type (pea gravel and basic crushed rock at the low end, decorative river rock at the high end). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes free standard delivery in many areas; exact pricing and any delivery fees will be shown at checkout for your zip code. For an example, a 10-ton order of crushed rock will typically total roughly $350 to $900 before taxes and optional services.

For driveways in Oak Harbor, angular crushed rock or 3/4" minus crushed rock is best because it compacts and locks together to resist rutting from rain and traffic. For pathways, pea gravel and decomposed granite are comfortable underfoot but may shift more; use pea gravel for casual paths and crushed stone for high-traffic walkways. Decorative river rock is attractive but not recommended as a driveway surface because it rolls and does not compact well.

Use this quick method: calculate area (ft2) x desired depth (inches) / 324 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert cubic yards to tons. Typical estimates: a single-car driveway (10-12 ft by 40-50 ft) at 4" depth needs about 8 to 12 tons; a double-car driveway often needs 20 to 30 tons. A 10'x10' patio at 2" requires about 1 ton, and a 3'x30' walkway at 2" needs under 1 ton; always round up and allow 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Oak Harbor's coastal climate and winter rains mean drainage and washout resistance are top considerations; choose angular, crushed materials that interlock and shed water rather than smooth river rock. Install a stable base, proper slope, and edge restraint to limit erosion, and consider permeable setbacks or drainage swales to handle runoff. Salt spray near the coast has little direct effect on most stone, but it can affect adjacent metal fixtures and vegetation, so plan accordingly.

Expect light maintenance like redistributing and regrading every 1 to 3 years and adding fresh gravel every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and erosion from heavy rains. Typical small maintenance visits (regrading) are low cost if DIY; adding 1 to 3 tons of gravel every few years might cost $50 to $300 delivered depending on material. Properties on steeper slopes or near drainage pathways may need more frequent attention after storms.

Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost, drains well, and suits Oak Harbor's rainy climate, but it requires periodic upkeep and can rut or wash out without proper base work. Asphalt gives a smoother, low-maintenance surface but costs more up front and requires a good base and professional installation; it also reduces permeability. Pavers are the most expensive initially but offer high durability and low maintenance; choose them if you want a finished look and budget allows.

For driveways, aim for a compacted base of 6 to 12 inches total: 4 to 8 inches of compacted roadbase or crushed recycled base plus 2 to 4 inches of wearing-course crushed stone. For walkways and patios, 3 to 4 inches of compacted crushed stone over a geotextile fabric is usually sufficient. Always grade for positive drainage, install edge restraint, and use geotextile fabric where soft or silty native soils are present to prevent mixing and settling.

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.
