Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vancouver, Washington, is home to 315,148 residents and sits at the heart of a rapidly growing Portland-Vancouver metro region. With a growth rate of 1.80% annually, local development and yard projects are on the rise—everything from driveway repairs and drainage upgrades to patio bases and garden paths. The city’s temperate maritime climate (Hardiness Zone 8b) brings about 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year, so homeowners need aggregates that manage water well, resist rutting, and stay stable under seasonal wetting and drying. Good-quality gravel reduces erosion, stabilizes walkways, and provides reliable drainage—qualities that matter when lots are being improved and outdoor spaces are being upgraded. In Vancouver’s mix of clay and loamy soils, gravel with angular particles and a medium gradation performs best: it sheds water, resists compaction, and provides a firm base for pavers and driveways. Given the area’s 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and frequent wet-to-dry cycles across 228 sunny days, selecting the right size and texture matters for long-term performance. Hello Gravel makes sourcing the right material easier by connecting you with local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery, and regional expertise so your project gets the right gravel for Vancouver conditions.Popular Projects in Vancouver This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vancouver gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Vancouver.
Delivered cost varies by gravel type, quantity, and delivery distance from local suppliers. In Vancouver you can expect rough ballpark ranges from about $150 to $300 per ton for common crushed gravel delivered, with single-truck loads often discounted; final price is shown at checkout. Hello Gravel displays local supplier rates and delivery fees before you order so you know the exact cost for your address. Prices can change seasonally, so check zip availability and get a quote for the most accurate number.
Price per ton depends on material (pea gravel, crushed rock, base gravel) and supplier; expect roughly $100 to $300 per ton delivered for typical aggregates in the Vancouver area. Hello Gravel shows exact per-ton pricing for available local materials at checkout, including any delivery fees. Heavier or specialty materials may cost more, and ordering larger quantities usually lowers the per-ton price.
The cheapest option is usually ordering bulk by the ton or cubic yard rather than buying bagged product from retail stores. Using Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers and scheduling standard delivery often reduces costs by avoiding retail markup and multiple trips. For very small projects, check local landscaping yards and classifieds for leftover or reclaimed gravel, but availability and quality will vary.
Cost depends on the gravel type, but 5 cubic yards (roughly 6 to 7.5 tons depending on material) typically ranges from several hundred to over a thousand dollars delivered in the Vancouver area. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator to convert your project needs into tons and get an exact delivered price from local suppliers. Keep in mind delivery type, access, and any spreading requests can affect the final fee.
A dump truck load price depends on truck size and load weight; a standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 14 tons (roughly 6 to 9 cubic yards) of gravel. Prices for a full truck delivered in Vancouver will vary widely by material but are typically quoted per ton and displayed during checkout with Hello Gravel. If you need an entire truck, request a per-truck quote so you see the total including delivery.
Coverage depends on the truck's load volume and your desired depth. For example, a tri-axle with about 8 cubic yards will cover roughly 160 square feet at 4 inches depth or about 320 square feet at 2 inches depth. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or tell us your area and desired depth to get a precise estimate for your project.
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Vancouver's wet climate; it may wash out or compact unevenly. For a residential driveway, a 4 to 6 inch compacted base of crushed gravel over a prepared subgrade is recommended, with thicker base for heavier vehicles. Consider adding a geotextile fabric and proper drainage to prevent rutting in rainy conditions.
Cost depends on width, depth, and gravel type; for a 20 ft long driveway the more relevant measure is square footage (for example, a 20 ft by 10 ft single-car strip = 200 sq ft). Using 4 inches of base, that equates to about 2.5 cubic yards (approximately 3 to 4 tons), so expect a delivered material cost in the low hundreds to around $500, with total installed costs higher if you hire spreading and compaction. For an accurate quote enter your address and specs on Hello Gravel to see local pricing and delivery options.
Yes, many Vancouver homeowners can install gravel themselves for small projects like pathways and small driveways. You will need to prepare the site, install edging, compact the subgrade, and spread and compact the gravel in layers; expect physical work and tools like a plate compactor and rake. If you prefer, Hello Gravel can arrange delivery and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is at the driver's discretion.
One cubic yard of gravel fills roughly 10 to 12 standard wheelbarrow loads, depending on the wheelbarrow size. Plan on the higher end if your wheelbarrow is small or you want conservative estimates for manual handling. For larger projects, ordering by the ton or cubic yard and using a truck dump is more efficient.
Free gravel sources are rare and unpredictable; sometimes municipalities during road projects or neighbors have leftover material, but quality and legal pickup vary. Hello Gravel recommends buying from local suppliers to ensure clean, screened material and reliable delivery. If you search for free options, confirm permission to take material and check for contaminants before using it on your property.
Lower-cost alternatives include recycled crushed concrete, decomposed granite, or compacted crushed rock, which can be cheaper depending on local availability. Mulch or wood chips can be less expensive for garden pathways but do not provide the same load-bearing and drainage properties as gravel. Consider local sourcing and intended use—driveways need sturdier aggregates, while walkways or decorative beds can use cheaper options.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 tons of gravel, which equates to roughly 6 to 9 cubic yards depending on material density. That amount will cover approximately 400 to 560 square feet at 2 inches depth or about 160 to 224 square feet at 4 inches depth. Use Hello Gravel's calculator with your desired depth and area to get an exact material quantity and delivery recommendation for Vancouver projects.

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.
