Gravel in Canby, OR

Prices vary, but expect typical ranges in West Oregon of about $35-$60 per ton for crushed base rock, $40-$80 per ton for pea or decorative gravel, and $45-$80 per ton for crushed basalt. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and usually requires a 3-ton minimum; many areas include free delivery while others charge a fee based on distance and site access (typical delivery fees to Canby run from $0 to about $150).

Small residential gravel driveways often do not require a building permit, but Canby requires permits for driveway approach changes, curb cuts, new connections to public streets, or work in the public right-of-way. You should contact Canby Public Works or Planning, and Clackamas County if your property is unincorporated, to confirm rules about culverts, stormwater runoff, and setback or easement restrictions. When in doubt, get approval before starting to avoid rework or fines.

For driveways in Canby’s clay-heavy, wet soils, a compactable crushed base (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean crushed rock) is best as a foundation, topped with 3/8" to 1/2" crushed rock or crushed basalt for a stable surface. Walkways often use pea gravel or 3/8" decorative stone for comfort, but pea gravel performs best with edging or a stabilizing grid to prevent migration. For drainage and erosion control use larger drain rock (1" to 2") or washed rock in trenches and around culverts to keep water moving away from structures.

Aim to install gravel during the drier months—late spring through early fall (roughly May through October in Canby)—when ground conditions allow proper grading and compaction. Delivery is available year-round, but spreading and compaction during rainy periods is difficult and can lead to poor settling and rutting. Note that Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST, so convert that cutoff to your local Pacific time when scheduling.

Calculate volume (area x depth), convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27), then convert to tons using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical crushed stone and add 10-20% for compaction and waste. Example estimates: a 1-car driveway (12x20) at 4" needs about 4.6 tons after contingency; a 2-car driveway (20x20) at 4" needs about 7.7 tons; a 10x10 patio at 2" needs about 0.9 tons; a 100 ft long by 3 ft wide walkway at 2" needs about 2.6 tons. These are starting points—adjust depth and contingency based on whether you are installing base rock vs a topcoat.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) operated by local haulers and suppliers. Some landscape yards or quarries in the region may have higher minimums (5 tons or more) or charge small-load fees, so check when you request a quote. Use Hello Gravel to compare suppliers that deliver to your Canby address and confirm minimums and placement options before checkout.

In West Oregon’s rainy climate you'll likely need surface regrading every 1-3 years and a top-up of 1/2" to 1" of material every 3-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Lifespan with regular maintenance can be 10-20 years for a well-built gravel driveway; heavy-use commercial surfaces may need more frequent work. Top-up costs depend on material and delivery but expect to pay per-ton material rates plus any hauling or spreading fees—use Hello Gravel to get a current per-ton quote for Canby.

Gravel is the most cost-effective upfront, drains well on clay soils, and is easy to repair, which fits Canby’s wet climate and homeowners wanting lower initial cost. Asphalt or concrete give a smoother, lower-maintenance surface long-term but cost significantly more, can require permits for driveway transitions, and may need better subdrainage in clay soils. Pavers offer a clean look and permeability options but are the most expensive to install; pick based on budget, desired maintenance level, and drainage needs.

Yes, decorative gravels (pea gravel, river rock, colored or polished stone) typically cost more per ton than common base gravels because of sourcing and processing, and availability can vary with local geology. Crushed base materials are widely available and usually cheaper because they are used in larger volumes for roads and driveways. If color or texture is important, add a note at checkout or request samples—regional suppliers often have different color palettes reflecting local rock.

Typical steps are site prep and grading, installing a geotextile fabric if needed, placing and compacting base rock, installing edging, adding a topcoat of crushed stone or decorative gravel, and final compaction. Extra costs to budget for include geotextile ($0.30-$1.00 per sq ft depending on type), edging materials ($2-$10 per linear foot depending on style), compactor rental or contractor labor ($60-$250 per day for rental; labor varies), and any drainage work such as culverts or French drains.
