Gravel delivery in Grandview, WA

For patios in Grandview, a crushed 3/4" minus or crusher-run (mixed stone and fines) is best because it compacts well and provides drainage. Use a 3-4" compacted base for pavers, with a 1" sand or stone dust bedding layer on top. Ask for locally sourced crushed stone to match regional geology (basalt/river-run variations are common).

Costs vary by material type and labor, but a small 20 ft driveway (for example 20 ft by 10 ft at 4" depth) typically needs about 2.5-3.0 cubic yards of gravel. Expect a rough total range of $150-$600 for materials plus $200-$700 for basic labor depending on local crew rates and site prep; contact us for an exact quote based on your zip code and desired material. Hello Gravel can provide delivered material pricing and connect you with local haulers and installers for firm estimates.

A 50 lb bag of gravel is about 0.018 cubic yards (50 lb ÷ 2,000 lb per ton × 0.714 cu yd per ton assuming ~1.4 tons/yd3). At 1" depth that bag covers roughly 5–6 square feet. To convert: multiply cubic yards needed = (area in sq ft × depth in feet) ÷ 27.

'A' gravel (often called crusher-run or 3/4" minus) includes a range of stone sizes plus fines so it compacts tightly and is ideal for driveway and patio bases. 'B' gravel usually has larger, cleaner stones with fewer fines and is better as a top layer for decoration or drainage. For base layers order 'A' or crusher-run; for a finished surface consider 3/4" crushed stone or decomposed granite depending on desired look.

Yes, stabilized or cement-treated gravels and polymer-stabilized binders exist and are used to lock aggregate into a hard surface. Availability and pricing vary by supplier in West Washington; Hello Gravel can check local suppliers and send quotes, but offerings differ regionally so contact us for current options and pricing. Note that stabilized products may add material and application fees and require specific installation procedures.

Pavers should be laid on a compacted crushed stone base, not loose rounded gravel. For Grandview, plan on 4" of compacted crushed stone (3/4" minus) as the base plus 1" of bedding sand or stone dust; thicker bases (5–6") are recommended for driveways. Order enough crushed stone for the compacted depth and a small extra allowance (5-10%) for compaction and waste.

Pea gravel is not ideal for driveways, steep walkways, or high-traffic patio seating because it shifts and compacts poorly. On playgrounds it can roll and create uneven areas. For those uses order crushed stone, crusher-run, or decomposed granite; these provide better compaction and stability while still allowing drainage.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck carriers; typical delivery is by tri-axle dump truck. Our minimum order is 3 tons; standard deliveries require at least 2 business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion; confirm access and placement notes when you check out.

Using common compacted depths: 10×10 patio at 3" needs about 0.93 cubic yards (~1.3 tons). A 20×20 patio at 3" needs about 3.7 cubic yards (~5.2 tons). A 20×100 driveway at 3" needs about 16.7 cubic yards (~23.3 tons) and at 4" needs about 24.7 cubic yards (~34.6 tons). Multiply area × depth ÷ 27 to calculate other sizes and add 5–10% for compaction and waste.

A common general-purpose mix is roughly 1 part cement : 2 parts sand : 3 parts gravel by volume; adjust for strength and use. Hello Gravel mainly delivers aggregates; ready-mix concrete availability for small jobs varies locally and often has minimum delivery quantities, so contact local ready-mix suppliers or our team to check availability and minimums for Grandview. We can also supply the sand and aggregate you need if you plan to mix on-site.

In Grandview's semi-arid Yakima Valley climate, a compacted base of 3" may work for light, occasional use, but a 4" compacted crushed stone base is recommended for most residential driveways to resist rutting. Heavier loads or poor soils may require 5–6" of compacted base and geotextile fabric; consult a local contractor for sites with drainage or subgrade issues. Always allow for compaction when ordering material.

Note that materials reflect local geology in Grandview—expect darker basaltic or river-run gravel rather than bright limestone; include color preferences in Order Notes. Ensure good truck access and a clear drop zone for a tri-axle dump truck, confirm minimum 12–14 ft vertical clearance, and call our team with your zip code to get a delivery window and exact pricing. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but remember drivers do it at their discretion.

Natural stone and aggregate vary slightly in color, texture, and size between quarry batches. This is normal and doesn't affect performance; photos represent typical appearance.
