Gravel in Pasco, WA

One ton of typical crushed gravel equals about 0.7 cubic yards, which will cover roughly 240 sq ft at 1" depth, about 120 sq ft at 2" depth, or about 80 sq ft at 3" depth. Actual coverage in Pasco can vary with stone size, compaction, and whether you want a loose or compacted surface. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel to get an exact estimate for your project and remember the 3-ton minimum order.

Prices fluctuate with local supply, but in the Tri-Cities region gravel is often competitively priced because local quarries supply aggregate for regional construction. Sand can sometimes be cheaper for small landscaping jobs, but the best way to know is to check Hello Gravel's local pricing and delivery options for your zip code. Keep in mind delivery fees and minimum orders (3 tons) affect the per-ton cost for small jobs.

For low-traffic garden paths or decorative areas you can place gravel over compacted dirt, but you should first remove vegetation, grade the area, and install landscape fabric to limit weeds. For driveways or high-traffic areas we recommend removing topsoil, adding a compacted base layer (crusher run or 2A) and then topping with surface gravel to avoid rutting and washout during heavy rains. Pasco's dry climate helps reduce mud, but proper prep improves long-term performance.

A compactible mix such as 3/4" crushed stone or DOT-style '2A' (crusher run) is commonly recommended because it compacts into a stable surface and resists displacement. Many Pasco homeowners use a compacted base of 4"-6" of crusher run topped with 1"-2" of 3/4" crushed rock for a durable driveway. Local geology affects color and texture, so request samples or ask our team for a recommendation based on your driveway use and drainage needs.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Hello Gravel deliveries carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-15 tons) of material. At a 3" finished depth that equates to approximately 800-1,200 sq ft; at 2" it covers more area, at 1" much more. Exact coverage depends on truck load size, stone type, and how much compaction you plan.

Estimate material volume first: measure width and length, choose depth (driveways commonly need 3" compacted top and a 4"-6" compacted base), then use our calculator to convert volume to tons and factor in delivery. Hello Gravel has clear pricing and delivery options for your zip code; because our minimum order is 3 tons, short driveways often require ordering that minimum. For an accurate all-in cost get a quote on the site or call our team with your driveway dimensions.

Cost per linear foot depends on driveway width, chosen depth, base requirements, and local material prices. Convert your full area (length x width) into required tons with our calculator, then multiply by the per-ton price and add delivery and any spreading fees. For long driveways in Pasco it's common to save on unit cost by ordering larger quantities—request a quote through Hello Gravel to see bulk pricing for your exact project.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway. For residential driveways we recommend at least 3" of compacted surface over a proper base and often 4"-6" of compacted base material below for year-round performance. In Pasco's climate you may get away with less in low-use situations, but a thicker, compacted base reduces rutting and the need for frequent top-ups.

Gravel driveways require routine maintenance: occasional regrading, adding more stone, and removing weeds. They can track dust in dry Pasco summers and may shift or develop ruts after heavy rains or from repeated vehicle turning. Snow removal can be more difficult than on paved surfaces, and gravel will need periodic replenishment over time.

For high-use areas like driveways you should excavate organic topsoil to a stable subgrade, install geotextile fabric if desired, then add and compact base material before the surface gravel. For lighter uses such as garden paths you can often grade and compact the existing soil, add fabric, and place surface gravel without deep excavation. Proper prep in Pasco helps control dust, weeds, and drainage, and increases longevity.

Certain mixes with fines—often sold as crusher run, road base, or 2A—compact tightly and form a hard, interlocked surface that is much firmer than loose decorative gravel but not as hard as concrete. These materials are commonly used for bases and low-cost drive surfaces because they compact and shed water when properly graded. If you need a near-solid surface, ask our team about locally available base mixes and compaction recommendations for Pasco conditions.

Naming conventions vary by region, but '2A' typically refers to a crushed stone with fines that compacts well and is widely used for driveways and bases. '2B' can refer to a slightly different spec with coarser particles or less fines and may drain better but compact less tightly. For most Pasco driveways 2A (or local equivalent) is a good starting point—contact Hello Gravel with your site details and we will suggest the right spec from local suppliers.

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.
