For Othello's semi-arid inland climate, angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") is ideal for driveways because it compacts and locks together for a stable surface, while decomposed granite or 1/4" crushed stone make comfortable, low-maintenance paths. River rock or pea gravel works well for dry creek beds and decorative areas but is less stable for driveways because the round stones do not interlock as well.

Use depth to estimate: at 2" depth expect about 115 sq ft covered per ton, at 3" about 77 sq ft per ton, and at 4" about 58 sq ft per ton. Typical gravel driveways use 3" to 4" of compacted material for a finished surface, so measure your driveway area and divide by the appropriate coverage to find tons needed.

Othello has colder winters than western Washington but generally milder freeze-thaw cycles than coastal areas; however, freeze-thaw and wet springs can still cause settling and frost heave in poorly prepared bases. A well-compacted base, good drainage, and a proper thickness of gravel reduce long-term issues and extend the life of the surface.

Gravel is typically the lowest up-front cost and provides excellent drainage, but it requires periodic maintenance like grading, topping up, and weed control. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially and need less frequent surface maintenance, but repairs can be more expensive and they offer less permeability than gravel for stormwater.

For drainage trenches and erosion control, crushed rock (angular stone) is generally better because it locks together and forms a stable, permeable layer that resists movement. River rock provides excellent open drainage and is good where water flow is strong, but it can shift and wash away more easily unless contained with edging or larger retaining structures.

Plan to grade and recompact the surface once per year or after heavy storms, and add a thin top-up layer (1/2" to 1") every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and weather. Keep drainage ditches clear, control weeds with fabric or herbicide as needed, and consider occasional regrading after winter thaw or irrigation runoff.

Some city codes and homeowners associations may restrict visible materials, require specific edging, or limit loose stone in front setbacks; Othello property rules can vary by neighborhood. Before installing a gravel driveway, check your HOA covenants and contact City of Othello planning or permits to confirm any local requirements.

Yes, properly designed gravel surfaces are an effective permeable paving option in Othello. To manage stormwater, use a stable subgrade, geotextile fabric, and layered angular stone with the right gradation and thickness so water infiltrates while maintaining a durable surface.
