Gravel in Camas, WA

Material and delivery for common driveway gravel in Camas typically runs about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed vs decorative) and seasonal availability. For a standard 2-car driveway you can expect total material+delivery costs roughly in the $300 to $1,000 range depending on depth and material choice; professional spreading or hiring labor adds extra and is priced separately.

In West Washington's rainy climate, angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed or crushed rock with fines) is usually best because it locks together and sheds water while compacting well. Pea gravel drains quickly and looks nice for patios but shifts under vehicle traffic, and rounded river rock is decorative but poor for driveways. Choose a compactable base mix (Class 2 or similar) under the top layer for long-term performance in wet conditions.

Using a common 2-car driveway size of 20 ft by 40 ft (800 sq ft): 2" depth = about 5 cubic yards (roughly 7 tons); 3" depth = about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 10.5 tons); 4" depth = about 9.9 cubic yards (roughly 14 tons). Increase quantities for wider or longer driveways, or if you need a thicker base layer; always round up a bit to allow for compaction and grading.

Yes, heavy clay soils common near the Columbia River Gorge can hold water and lead to sinking or rutting if the base is not properly prepared. A well-drained crushed-rock base, proper grading, and geotextile fabric can mitigate these issues by improving drainage and separating the gravel from the clay subgrade. For sites with very poor drainage consider deeper base layers, drain tiles, or consulting a local contractor.

Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days for most areas; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST (check checkout for your zip code). Local supplier availability can vary seasonally—spring and fall are busiest—so larger orders or special colors may take longer. If you need material on a specific date, schedule early through our site and we will confirm with local haulers.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some Camas HOAs or city rules address driveway materials, setbacks, or stormwater management. Check with the City of Camas planning or public works department and your HOA before starting work to confirm any permit, drainage, or curb-cut requirements. If your project changes runoff patterns, you may need a permit or engineered solutions to comply with local stormwater rules.

Excavate soft topsoil to a stable subgrade, install a geotextile fabric to separate the gravel from clay where needed, and place a compacted 4" to 6" base of crushed rock (Class 2 or road base) before the driving surface. Compact each lift and finish with a 1" to 2" wearing layer of 3/4" crushed stone for driveways. Proper slope for runoff and edge restraints will reduce maintenance in Camas’s wet climate.

Deliveries to Camas are typically made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) that dump material in one or more piles at your site. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and only if it can be done safely; this service is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading you can hire local labor or ask for specialized spreading services when ordering.

Gravel has a lower upfront cost but usually higher routine maintenance: periodic regrading, weed control, and topping up material every few years. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but typically require less frequent maintenance; however, repairs for cracks or settlement can be costly. For many Camas homeowners gravel can be the most cost-effective short- to mid-term choice, especially for driveways with light use or where permeable surfaces are preferred.
