Gravel in Farmington, WA

Cost varies by gravel type, quantity, and haul distance from local suppliers. In Farmington expect a wide range depending on material and truck size; many loads run on a per-ton basis with additional delivery fees. Contact us or check your zip code for a precise, upfront quote and note Hello Gravel's minimum order of 3 tons.

To estimate, pick the depth you want (common depths: 2" for top dress, 4" for a driveway surface). Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2" needs ~6.2 yd3 (~8.7 tons); material costs and delivery in Farmington vary, so request a quote for exact pricing.

Prices depend on type (crushed rock, river rock, recycled), supplier, and seasonal demand. In rural West Washington areas like Farmington, material-only prices commonly range and will differ by supplier; ask Hello Gravel for current local per-ton pricing. Remember delivery, minimums, and any fees affect the final per-ton cost to your job site.

Coverage depends on gravel density and depth. A practical approach is to convert to cubic yards first: 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons of gravel in our region, and 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1" depth. So one ton (about 0.72 yd3) covers roughly 233 sq ft at 1" depth, about 117 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 58 sq ft at 4" depth.

Cost depends on the driveway length, desired depth, and material choice. For example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) at 4" depth needs about 12.3 yd3 (~17.2 tons); multiplying by your local per-ton price and adding delivery gives the total.

Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway surface, especially in West Washington where winter rain and soft ground are common. For a durable residential driveway we recommend a compacted base of crushed material (4" to 6") and a surface layer of 2" to 3" of finish gravel. Proper drainage and compaction are crucial for longevity in Farmington's wet conditions.

Buying in bulk through a delivery service like Hello Gravel tends to lower the per-ton cost compared with multiple small loads, and picking common local materials will be less expensive than specialty stone. If you can haul material yourself, local supplier pickup avoids delivery fees, but remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and delivery often adds value for larger projects. Compare suppliers and request quotes to find the best price for your timeline.

Per-foot cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. Estimate total area (length times width), calculate required tons using the cubic yard formula, then divide the total project cost by length to get a per-foot number. Contact Hello Gravel for local pricing so you can calculate a reliable per-foot estimate for your specific 100 ft driveway.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At a 4" depth (0.333 ft) you need about 4.9 cubic yards, which is roughly 6.8 tons using the regional conversion. Multiply by local per-ton pricing and add delivery to get a Farmington-specific cost; request a quote from Hello Gravel to include available materials and truck access.

Dump truck load cost depends on truck size, material type, and hauling distance from the supplier. Some tri-axle trucks in the area carry multiple tons and are priced either per ton or per load; Hello Gravel will provide transparent pricing for the load size you need. Keep in mind minimum orders and potential fees for tight-access deliveries in rural Farmington.

A combination of a crushed stone base (commonly 3/4" minus or similar 'base' mix) topped with a smaller crushed stone or pea gravel for the surface works well. Crushed, angular stone compacts and interlocks better than rounded river rock, which slips more in wet conditions common to West Washington. Choose material based on desired appearance, drainage needs, and local availability from suppliers near Farmington.

Yes, homeowners can install gravel for small projects if they have the time, basic tools, and willingness to do prep work like grading and compaction. For driveways and high-traffic areas you should ensure proper base preparation, drainage, and compaction; consider renting a plate compactor or hiring a pro if the site is large or has challenging access. For delivered material, note drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services.

Coverage depends on the truck volume and desired depth. For example, a 10 cubic yard load covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2" depth and about 810 sq ft at 4" depth; a 14 cubic yard load would cover proportionally more. Truck sizes vary in Farmington, so get the truck's cubic yard estimate from Hello Gravel and use the cubic yard-to-area formula to calculate exact coverage for your project.

A well-built gravel driveway can last many years, but it requires periodic maintenance such as regrading, adding fresh gravel, and fixing ruts or potholes. In West Washington's wet climate expect to refresh the surface every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and drainage; heavy use or poor drainage increases maintenance frequency. Good initial compaction, a proper base, and slope for drainage reduce long-term upkeep.

A 7x14 trailer's capacity depends on the side height: at 1 ft tall it holds about 3.6 yd3, at 2 ft tall about 7.3 yd3, with typical sides often in between. Using a regional conversion of ~1.4 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly 5 to 10 tons depending on side height and how full the trailer is. Check your trailer's rated capacity and local weight limits before loading gravel in Farmington.

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