Gravel in Vancouver, WA

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.

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.
