Gravel in Wapato, WA

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers servicing Yakima County, with many deliveries coming from quarries and yards in Yakima, Toppenish, Sunnyside and surrounding areas. Availability can vary by material and season, so check your zip code on our site or contact our team for specific supplier options and delivery windows for Wapato.

Delivered bulk gravel in the Wapato area commonly runs about $30 to $60 per ton, which converts roughly to $42 to $84 per cubic yard (using about 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Final price depends on stone type, distance from the quarry, and whether you need any special delivery services; request an online quote for an exact delivered price.

For Wapato’s semi-arid Yakima Valley climate, crushed 3/4" stone or 3/4" minus are good all-purpose choices for driveways and pad areas because they compact well and shed water. River rock or larger crushed rock is useful for drainage swales, while decomposed granite (DG) and small crushed stone are better for walkways and patios; choose materials that promote drainage if you have clay pockets or low spots on your property.

Permit needs vary: simple resurfacing of an existing driveway often does not require a permit, but new driveway construction, curb cuts, or changes that affect public right-of-way or drainage may need approval from the City of Wapato or Yakima County. Contact Wapato City Hall or the local public works/planning office before you start to confirm requirements and avoid potential fines or rework.

A 12' x 50' driveway is 600 sq ft. At 3" depth you need about 5.6 cubic yards (≈7.8 tons); at 4" depth about 7.4 cubic yards (≈10.4 tons); and at 6" depth about 11.1 cubic yards (≈15.6 tons). For light residential use 3" to 4" compacted topcoat over a firm base is common; use 6" or more for heavier vehicles or poor soils and always order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and spillage.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; many deliveries in our network are free but rural or long-distance runs into Wapato can carry delivery fees commonly from about $25 to $150. Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck, so check access for width, overhead wires, low branches, steep grades, and a safe place to dump; if you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but know the driver will assess safety on arrival and it is not guaranteed.

In Wapato’s dry summers and milder winters, gravel resists freeze-thaw damage better than in colder, wetter climates, but erosion from heavy rains and weed growth still occur. Expect periodic regrading, topping up every 1–4 years depending on traffic, use edging to control spreading, and consider a weed barrier or geotextile under the gravel to reduce vegetation and migration of fines.

Gravel is the lowest-cost option up front—typically a fraction of asphalt or concrete—but it requires regular maintenance (regrading and top-ups). For a 12' x 50' driveway, expect ballpark installed costs of roughly $800 to $2,400 for gravel, $3,500 to $7,500 for asphalt, and $6,000 to $12,000 for concrete; over time asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but generally lower annual maintenance than gravel, so weigh budget, appearance, and long-term maintenance needs when choosing.

Measure your area and use the cubic yard formula (area x depth in feet ÷ 27) then add 5-10% for compaction and waste, and pick a material suited to the use (3/4" crushed for driveways, DG for paths). Add delivery notes about access and color preferences at checkout, choose your delivery date, and call our team if you need help calculating quantities or assessing truck access for your Wapato property.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
