Decorative options like pea gravel or colored rock cost more, so use cheaper base material under walkways and decorative gravel only where it shows.

Start with compacted gravel (or crushed stone) as the base for drainage and stability, then add a layer of sand on top for paver bedding and leveling. In rainy northwest Oregon conditions, a good gravel base is especially important to prevent settling and water retention.

Yes, river rock works well for drainage swales and decorative dry creek beds because the rounded stones let water flow through and resist clogging. Keep in mind they can shift and be slippery when wet, so use edging and consider a layer of geotextile fabric underneath to limit migration.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. It is not guaranteed; for precise grading and compaction, hire a local contractor or landscaper after delivery.

South Scappoose gets northwest Oregon rainfall that can wash away loose, uncompacted gravel and cause rutting in low spots. Install gravel in drier months if possible, compact the base, and ensure proper slope to move water away from the surface.

Natural and regionally sourced materials will vary in color and texture, so exact matches to photos are not guaranteed. You can add color preferences in Order Notes at checkout and contact customer service for local supplier descriptions or sample options.

Prepare the area with a compacted base, install geotextile fabric, use a proper depth of angular crushed stone for structure, and create a slight slope for drainage. Adding a top layer of smaller gravel or fines and compacting it will reduce tracking and mud.
