For Port Orchard's wet conditions, angular crushed rock (like #57 or 3/4u0022 minus) is best because it locks together and drains well. Avoid loose rounded pea gravel for primary driveways unless you use edging and a stabilizer; consider crushed rock with a compacted base or a stabilized gravel product for longer life.

A common 2-car driveway (about 24 ft wide by 20 ft deep = 480 sq ft) needs roughly 8 to 13 tons of gravel depending on depth: 4u0022 depth is about 8 tons and 6u0022 depth is about 12 tons. Always order 10% extra to account for settling, grading, and waste, and confirm material density with your supplier before ordering.

Port Orchard's rainy winters mean gravel driveways need good drainage and routine maintenance: expect to regrade ruts and add fresh material every 1 to 3 years in heavily used areas. Install proper edge restraint, slope the driveway for runoff, and keep drainage ditches or culverts clear to reduce washouts and potholes.

Crushed rock with angular particles is generally best for driveways because it compacts and sheds water; decomposed granite works well for low‑traffic paths and patios but can wash out if not stabilized. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable to walk on but moves under vehicle traffic, so use it with stabilizers or edging for driveways.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some Port Orchard projects require permits for driveway aprons, curb cuts, or changes to drainage. Check the City of Port Orchard public works or building department and review your HOA covenants before starting work to confirm any permit or design requirements.

For average passenger cars in Port Orchard, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed base rock over geotextile fabric is typical; heavier vehicles call for 6 to 8 inches. Prepare by grading for drainage, compacting each layer, and using a coarse base (bankrun or 3/4u0022 minus) topped with a finer angular finish such as #57.

Many local contractors prefer a properly compacted crushed rock base with an angular top layer because it is proven, economical, and performs well in wet conditions. Stabilized or polymer‑bound gravel is chosen for lower maintenance and improved surface stability, especially on slopes or high‑traffic drives, but it costs more up front.

In Port Orchard, pea gravel is often mid‑range in price, #57 crushed rock is typically similar or slightly higher because of processing, and base gravel (bankrun or 3/4u0022 minus) is usually the most economical per ton. Exact prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, so request quotes for each material and factor in delivery and spreading costs.

Hello Gravel delivers via local dump truck fleets; standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days and next‑day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Add site notes about access, driveway slope, and preferred drop location at checkout, and request tailgate spreading if you'd like the driver to consider it (drivers perform spreading at their discretion).
