Gravel in Hillsboro, OR

Delivered prices in the Hillsboro/Portland-Vancouver area vary by type and season. Typical ranges are: 3/4" crushed gravel $35-$65 per ton (about $50-$90 per cubic yard), 1-1/2" clean rock $30-$60 per ton, crusher fines $30-$55 per ton, and decorative stone $50-$120 per ton. These are estimates; exact pricing depends on local supplier, delivery distance, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons). Use our calculator or request a quote for a firm delivered price.

Hillsboro is served by multiple Portland-Vancouver area quarries and recycled material yards; Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed early (fees may apply). Lead time can stretch to a week or more for specialty decorative stone or during high-demand seasons, so check availability when you order.

For typical Hillsboro driveways, aim for a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed rock (angular, well-graded) plus a 2-3 inch top layer of 3/4" gravel or crusher fines for a total of about 6-9 inches. On clay or poorly draining lots increase the base to 6-8 inches, add geotextile fabric, and provide proper slope and drainage to avoid frost heave and rutting. Compact each layer with a plate compactor and consider professional base preparation for vehicle loads.

Use area x depth to estimate: a 20x30 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at 4" depth needs about 5.6 cubic yards (~8 tons). A 12x12 ft patio at 3" depth needs about 1.3 cubic yards (~1.8 tons). A 100 ft walkway 3 ft wide (300 sq ft) at 2" depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards (~2.6 tons). These examples use ~1.4 tons per cubic yard; check Hello Gravel's calculator and remember our 3-ton minimum for orders.

Gravel provides good drainage but requires more ongoing maintenance in Hillsboro's wet climate, including occasional regrading and top-ups every 2-5 years depending on traffic. Properly compacted crushed rock bases perform better than loose gravel for load-bearing areas, while asphalt offers the longest lifespan (often 15-25 years) and lower routine maintenance but higher upfront cost. Consider drainage, intended use, and maintenance tolerance when choosing a surface.

Minor resurfacing within an existing driveway footprint often does not require a city permit, but adding new driveway access, changing the curb cut, or increasing impervious surface may trigger permits or stormwater rules. Hillsboro and Washington County have rules about driveway aprons, stormwater runoff, and right-of-way work, so check with City of Hillsboro Public Works or your county building department before starting. When in doubt, get a permit check to avoid costly rework.

For shedding water and good drainage use angular, open-graded rock like 3/4" crushed stone or 1-1/2" drain rock; these let water pass through and resist puddling. To reduce weeds, pair a good weed barrier fabric with a 3/4" crushed top layer or decorative stone; for ADA-compliant paths choose compactable, firm surfaces such as stabilized crusher fines or a bound gravel mix rather than loose pea gravel. Consider local rainfall and foot traffic when selecting material.

Full driveway installation costs vary with site prep, slope, and material, but expect roughly $2-$6 per square foot for typical gravel installation (grading, base, fabric, top layer) and $1,200-$5,000 for a 20x30 ft driveway as a broad range. Labor rates, machinery rental, and difficult access can push costs higher; simple top-ups or small spreads cost less. Get multiple local quotes and use Hello Gravel to compare material and delivery costs before hiring installers.

Yes, recycled crushed concrete and reclaimed asphalt are commonly available in the Portland-Vancouver region and often cost 10%-30% less than virgin aggregates. Recycled material can perform well for driveways and base layers, but it may vary in fines, salt content, and color; for decorative top layers or fine drainage needs you may prefer virgin stone. Recycling reduces quarry demand and landfill use, so it can be a greener choice when the material meets your project specs.

Use a combination of rigid edging (steel, timber, or concrete curb), heavy-duty geotextile fabric, and a coarse rock subbase to stabilize gravel on slopes and clay soils. Add French drains, catch basins, or downspout extensions to collect runoff and direct it away from the gravel surface; on steep sites consider terracing and retaining features to prevent washout. These steps reduce rutting, migration, and weed growth in Hillsboro's wet conditions and extend the life of the gravel surface.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
