Gravel in Clydehill, WA

Expect a range rather than a fixed price: residential gravel in West Washington commonly runs about $30 to $70 per ton (roughly $40 to $100 per cubic yard) depending on type, wash status, and distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, and delivery fees may apply for short-notice or special access; check your zip code for an exact quote.

For Clydehill's rainy conditions, angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" crushed stone) and crushed rock with a compactable fines layer are top choices because they lock together and shed water when graded properly. Decomposed granite or stabilized mixes can work well for paths if you want a finer finish, while pea gravel is decorative but can migrate and is harder to compact on slopes.

Use this quick guide (approximate, based on 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons). 12x30 driveway (360 ft2): 3" depth ≈ 3.3 yd (4.7 tons), 4" ≈ 4.4 yd (6.2 tons), 6" ≈ 6.7 yd (9.3 tons). 20x20 patio (400 ft2): 2" ≈ 2.5 yd (3.5 tons), 3" ≈ 3.7 yd (5.2 tons), 4" ≈ 4.9 yd (6.9 tons). 100 ft walkway (assume 3 ft wide, 300 ft2): 2" ≈ 1.9 yd (2.6 tons), 3" ≈ 2.8 yd (3.9 tons), 4" ≈ 3.7 yd (5.2 tons). Order 5-10% extra for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.

Both washed and unwashed gravels are commonly available across West Washington, though washed materials typically cost more because of processing. Hello Gravel uses local suppliers and contracted haulers, so delivery distance varies by supplier; many regional suppliers serve customers within roughly 30-75 miles, but you should enter your zip code for exact availability and pricing.

Gravel can be effective for drainage if you pick the right type (open-graded or angular rock) and combine it with proper site prep: a compacted sub-base, geotextile fabric where appropriate, and graded contours or swales. On steeper slopes or erosion-prone spots, add retaining features, terraces, or engineered rock aprons and consult a local contractor for slope-specific solutions.

DIY is common for small projects: expect to pay material-only costs of roughly $30 to $70 per ton plus delivery. Contractor-installed gravel driveways that include grading, base prep, compaction, and edging typically run about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot in our region, depending on site prep and access; get multiple local quotes and factor in permit costs if needed.

With good installation and regular upkeep, a gravel driveway in Western Washington can function well for 5 to 15 years before major rework is needed. Maintenance includes annual raking and regrading after heavy rains, filling low spots and potholes as they appear, and adding 1 to 3 inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and wear.

Requirements vary: some cities and counties in West Washington regulate driveway changes, curb cuts, stormwater runoff, and front-yard surfacing, and many HOAs have design rules or surface restrictions. Before you start, check Clydehill's planning department and any HOA covenants to confirm permit needs and any material or placement rules.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and is permeable, which helps reduce runoff, but it requires more ongoing maintenance and periodic replenishment. Asphalt offers longer smooth surface life and lower maintenance frequency but increases impervious area and runoff, so drainage management is important. Pavers are the most expensive but can be long-lasting and attractive; permeable pavers combine durability with better stormwater performance if designed correctly.

Prep the subgrade, remove organic material, and install a proper edge restraint (steel, concrete, or treated timber) to keep gravel contained. Use a suitable base of compactable angular material in lifts, compact each lift with a plate compactor, and consider geotextile fabric or a separation layer to limit weed growth and keep fines from migrating (note that fabric choice can affect drainage). Install during drier windows when possible and plan for periodic regrading after wet seasons.
