For driveways in West Oregon, crushed rock with some fines (¾u0022 minus or ¾u0022 crush-and-run) provides good compaction and drainage. For decorative beds and paths, washed pea gravel or 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 river rock shed water well but may move under traffic, so use larger crushed stone or edging where you need stability. Because local sourcing varies, you can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and we will match available local products.

Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers around Phoenix and the Willamette Valley region, so materials typically reflect local geology like river run gravel and crushed basalt. Availability depends on supplier stock and season; check your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which gravel types are currently available. We will show estimated lead times and prices before you place an order.

A useful rule of thumb is that 1 ton of gravel covers about 100 sq ft at 1 inch depth. So for a 3-inch top layer you would need roughly 3 tons per 100 sq ft, and for a typical driveway total thickness (4u0022 base + 2u0022 top) plan accordingly. Because gravel density varies by type, use our material calculator or contact sales for a tailored estimate.

Heavy rain can cause surface rutting and washouts if drainage is poor, while occasional freeze/thaw can lead to frost heave on weak bases. Use a compacted crushed-rock base, proper slope, and edge restraints to minimize movement, and consider geotextile fabric over soft soils. Expect to regrade or add material after major storms or seasonal cycles.

Permit requirements can vary; small private driveways on existing property often do not need a permit, but any work in the public right-of-way, curb cuts, or new driveway connections may require permits from Lane County or the City of Phoenix. Check with Phoenix City Hall or Lane County public works before you start, and confirm stormwater or drainage requirements for your street. If you need help, our team can point you to local contacts.

As a rough range, landscape gravels (washed pea rock, decorative river rock) commonly fall between $30 and $60 per ton, while crushed rock or crush-and-run for driveways typically ranges from $25 to $70 per ton depending on size and local supply. Prices vary with color, size, and seasonal demand; the exact per-ton price will display at checkout for your address. Remember Hello Gravel charges no hidden fees and shows delivery options up front.

For slopes and hilly terrain, build a firm, well-graded base (4u0022 to 8u0022 of compacted crushed rock) and use terracing or small retaining edging to prevent downhill migration. Compact each layer, use geotextile fabric on soft soils, and install strong edge restraints (concrete, treated timber, or metal) to keep gravel contained. Consider using angular crushed stone for stability and a coarser top layer to resist tracking.

Light maintenance like raking and filling low spots is typically needed every 6 to 12 months, with larger top-ups every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and drainage. For most homeowners expect small annual costs (for a small driveway, $50 to $300 per year in materials or minor repairs) and larger periodic costs when adding 1 to 3 tons for resurfacing. Proper initial base and drainage greatly reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Most suppliers connected through Hello Gravel deliver by dump truck (usually tri-axle) and standard delivery is included in many areas; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion for an additional fee. When offered, spreading fees vary widely depending on the amount and complexity but commonly range from $30 to $150; always request spreading at checkout and note that the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. If spreading is critical, contact our team before scheduling so we can confirm options.
