For driveways in Cheney and West Washington's wet winters, angular crushed rock (for example 3/4" minus or 1" crushed rock) gives the best load-bearing and drainage performance. For walkways, pea gravel or crushed rock topped with a compacted base can work well; pea gravel is more comfortable to walk on but can migrate without edging. In wet, freeze-thaw conditions choose a layered approach: a compacted subbase of larger crushed rock and a wearing layer of smaller crushed stone for stability.

For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 12.5 tons of typical crushed gravel. At 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 18.5 cubic yards, or roughly 25 tons. These estimates use a common conversion of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard; heavier or lighter materials will change the tonnage slightly.

Cheney is a smaller city (about 17,820 residents) and most aggregates are regionally sourced from quarries in Spokane County and surrounding areas, so color and texture will reflect local geology. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers when you enter your zip code, and we can provide supplier options and lead times for your delivery. If you prefer to contact yards directly, check Spokane-area crushed rock yards and ask about quarry origin and truck access.

Yes, properly specified and installed gravel performs well in Cheney's wet winters if you prioritize drainage and compaction. Use angular crushed stone for the base, ensure adequate slope and sub-surface drainage, and compact each layer to reduce frost heave. Avoid relying on loose rounded gravels for load-bearing areas since they can shift and trap water, increasing freeze-thaw damage.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA, and city regulations can include setback, drainage, or stormwater requirements. Many homeowners can install gravel driveways without a city permit, but projects that alter drainage, change curb cuts, or are in historic districts may need approval. Always check Cheney city planning or your HOA covenants before ordering; Hello Gravel can help time delivery once permits are confirmed.

Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For consistent results on driveways and larger projects, consider hiring a local landscaper or rental equipment to grade and compact after delivery.

Clear the area of vegetation and debris, mark underground utilities, and provide a stable access path for a dump truck to the drop point. Install any edging and geotextile fabric if you want to prevent mixing with soil and limit migration, and confirm space for truck maneuvering with our team. If your site is wet or steep, discuss options with Hello Gravel so the supplier can plan the safest delivery.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, the color, grain shape, and mineral makeup will reflect Eastern Washington geology near Cheney. Expect some variability versus photos online; if color or texture is important, note preferences in Order Notes and ask for a supplier or sample before delivery. We recommend ordering a small test load if exact appearance is critical for your project.
