Gravel in Tulalip, WA

Choose a color that complements your home, hardscape, and local vegetation. Tulalip materials often reflect Pacific Northwest glacial and coastal geology, so samples may range from gray to tan or bluish tones; request local photos or add color notes at checkout. Visit your project site and view samples in the same lighting as your finished project, and contact our team if you want help matching a look.

Common sizes include pea gravel (about 1/4"), 3/8" to 3/4" decorative gravel, #57 (about 3/4") for driveways and drainage, and larger 1-2" stones for drainage or base. Smaller, rounded gravel is used for paths and decoration, while angular crushed stone compacts better for driveways and bases. Pick size based on function: drainage needs, foot traffic, or vehicle use.

#57 is a standard crushed stone roughly 3/4" in size with mostly uniform pieces and some fines. It is commonly used for driveways, drainage trenches, and under concrete because it drains well and compacts reasonably. In Tulalip its drainage properties are helpful because of the wet climate.

#3 gravel is a larger crushed stone, typically about 1 to 2.5 inches in size, with angular pieces. It is often used for heavy-duty drainage, larger driveways, and as a base layer under other aggregates. Because it is coarse, it provides strong structural support and good water flow.

Yes, but mixing affects performance: combining a coarse base (like #3) with a finer top layer (#57 or pea gravel) can give good support and a finished surface. Avoid mixing fine, dusty material with coarse drainage stones if you need permeability; in Tulalip's wet conditions, keep drainage stones free of fines for best results. If you plan a decorative mix, order samples or ask our team for recommendations.

Gravel can be environmentally friendly when used to promote infiltration and reduce stormwater runoff, especially compared with impermeable surfaces. Local sourcing reduces transport emissions, and native plant-friendly designs help with habitat and runoff. Keep in mind mining has impacts, so choosing local, well-managed suppliers is better for the environment.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 108 sq ft at a 3" depth, 162 sq ft at 2", or 324 sq ft at 1" depth. One cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons depending on rock type, so plan in tons for ordering; Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert your area and desired depth into tons. Remember to order a bit extra for compaction and to account for slopes or waste.

Estimate volume first: a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway at 3" depth needs about 9.3 cubic yards, roughly 11 to 13 tons. Multiply the tons by the local price per ton (which varies by supplier and material) and add delivery and optional spreading fees.

For Tulalip's wetter soils, start with a proper base: excavate soft soil, lay geotextile fabric to separate soil and stone, then add 4-6" of compacted crushed rock for driveways or 2-3" for paths. Proper grading and drainage outlets are important to prevent water pooling. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available from drivers, but plan on compacting and finishing the surface after delivery.

You can for small decorative areas, but it is not recommended for driveways or high-traffic surfaces because gravel will migrate and rut over weak soil. In Tulalip's moist conditions, a geotextile and compacted crushed rock base will significantly extend performance and reduce maintenance. If you are unsure, contact our team for a recommended build-up.

The 70/30 rule in gardening often refers to a planting mix ratio where about 70% organic soil blends with 30% inorganic material like sand or gravel to improve drainage. For Tulalip gardens that need better drainage, adding a portion of gravel to potting mixes or planting beds for drought-tolerant plants can help prevent root rot. Use gravel sparingly and combine it with appropriate soil and plants suited to the local climate.

Type 2 generally refers to a well-graded crushed stone or aggregate base used for road bases and structural support; exact specs vary by state and supplier. It compacts well and is suitable under driveways, patios, and sidewalks when you need a stable subbase. Check local specifications and ask our sales team for the Type 2 equivalent available near Tulalip to match your project needs.
