For West Washington's wet conditions, crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) and crushed basalt are top choices because they interlock and compact well, reducing washout. Pea gravel drains quickly and is attractive but can shift and float on steep slopes, while river rock is decorative and good for drainage swales but not ideal for driveways. Choose crushed material for driveways and paths and larger river rock or riprap for drainage and erosion control.

Here are typical estimates using a 3-inch finished depth unless otherwise noted: 1-car driveway (12 ft x 20 ft) about 1.5 to 2 tons; 2-car driveway (20 ft x 20 ft) about 5 to 6 tons; 3-car driveway (30 ft x 20 ft) about 7 to 9 tons; patio (12 ft x 12 ft) about 2 to 3 tons; 4 ft wide pathway (50 ft long) about 1.5 to 2 tons. These are ballpark numbers; use Hello Gravel's calculator or provide exact dimensions and desired depth to get a precise tonnage.

Local suppliers in the Grays Harbor area generally price screened decorative gravel and crushed rock between about $25 and $70 per ton, with road base and crushed pit run often lower, around $18 to $45 per ton. Prices move with supply, season, and haul distance; recycled aggregates tend to be on the lower end.

Gravel can be excellent for drainage because it allows rapid water infiltration; larger rock (1" plus or riprap) is best where you need to slow water and prevent erosion. Near streams and in environmentally sensitive areas in Grays Harbor County, you must follow local setback and permitting rules and avoid placing material that could harm fish habitat. For slopes, combine geotextile fabric, terraces, and properly sized rock to stabilize soil and direct runoff safely.

Installation costs vary by complexity, but expect contractors to charge roughly $2 to $6 per square foot including material and labor for a properly prepared gravel driveway. Simple top-dressing or basic spreading will be at the low end, while installing proper base, geotextile, and compaction raises costs. Get written estimates that list excavation, base material, compaction, and edge restraint so you can compare bids accurately.

In West Washington's rainy climate, many homeowners add a top-up of 1/2" to 1" of gravel every 1 to 3 years to replenish ruts and washed areas, with full refreshes every 5 to 8 years depending on traffic. A small top-up for a single-car driveway is often 1 to 3 tons; material-only costs for that volume are typically under a few hundred dollars, plus any spreading labor. Regular grading, light compaction, and proper drainage will reduce how often you need to add material.

Rules vary: many residential gravel driveway projects do not need a building permit, but you should check with the City of Aberdeen and Grays Harbor County for frontage, culvert, and stormwater requirements. Driveways that alter drainage into public rights-of-way or affect wetland and stream buffers may require permits or inspections. Contact local public works or planning departments before starting work to confirm restrictions and avoid costly rework.

Gravel is the least expensive up-front and provides excellent drainage in East Aberdeen's wet weather, but it needs more frequent maintenance and replenishment. Asphalt offers smoother driving surfaces and lower short-term maintenance but is more costly to install and can soften in summer; concrete is the most durable but has the highest initial cost and can crack without proper base. Choose gravel for lower cost and better drainage, and asphalt or concrete when you want low maintenance and a more finished look.

Contractors in the region commonly recommend a well-compacted base of 4 to 8 inches of crushed road base (fines included), a geotextile fabric on very soft soils, and a wearing layer of 3/4" crushed rock or crushed basalt for the top. Edge restraints, proper crown and cross-slope for runoff, and mechanical compaction in lifts will greatly increase longevity. Avoid using only loose decorative pebbles as the main wearing surface for driveways in rainy conditions.

Order at least the 3-ton minimum and include delivery notes about access, gate codes, or preferred drop location so drivers can plan. Choose a delivery date on the checkout calendar; standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days and next-day is available for certain orders placed before noon CST. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but know the driver will assess feasibility on arrival and no spreading is guaranteed.

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

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
