Gravel in Maple Valley, WA

Delivered prices vary by supplier, season, and exact product, but expect rough ranges: crushed rock or crushed aggregate $35 to $70 per ton, pea gravel $40 to $85 per ton, and larger river rock $60 to $120 per ton. Local sourcing and delivery distance in West Washington affect final cost, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Angular crushed gravel (3/4" minus or crushed rock) is usually best for driveways in Maple Valley because the pieces lock together and shed water better. Pea gravel can look nice but tends to move and wash out on slopes and in heavy rain, so it is better suited to decorative areas or low-traffic paths.

Use these Maple Valley examples as a guideline: single-car driveway (approx. 12 ft x 40 ft) at 3-4" depth needs about 6 to 10 tons; two-car driveway (20 ft x 40 ft) at 3-4" needs about 10 to 16 tons; a 100 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs about 1 ton and at 4" about 2 tons; a 50 ft path 3 ft wide at 2-3" needs about 1.2 to 2 tons. These are estimates; use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific recommendation.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers across West Washington to arrange delivery to Maple Valley; minimum orders generally start at 3 tons and delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and access. Tailgate spreading may be available at checkout and is performed at the driver’s discretion; contact our customer service to see which local suppliers serve your zip code and what fees apply.

A properly installed gravel driveway in Maple Valley can last indefinitely with regular maintenance (periodic grading, weed control, and topping up every 3-5 years), but it requires more ongoing upkeep than hard surfaces. Asphalt typically lasts 15-25 years before major resurfacing is needed and requires crack and seal maintenance; permeable pavers can last 25+ years with proper base prep and cleaning but cost significantly more upfront. Maple Valley’s wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles increase maintenance needs for gravel (ruts and washouts) and can shorten asphalt life if drainage is poor.

Regulations vary by neighborhood and HOA, so check Maple Valley city codes and your HOA covenants before installing a gravel driveway; common issues include driveway width, visibility, stormwater runoff, and dust control. If you are near wetlands or steep slopes, additional permits or drainage controls may be required—contact the City of Maple Valley planning department or your HOA for specifics.

Angular crushed gravel provides better traction and locks together to form a stable surface on slopes, so it is usually the safer choice for hilly Maple Valley yards. Rounded pea gravel drains OK but tends to roll under tires and foot traffic, which makes it less suitable for sloped driveways or steep paths in wet conditions.

Labor and contractor rates vary by job complexity, site access, and prep work; expect rough ranges of $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for installation when including base prep, compacting, and material placement, or hourly labor rates of roughly $40 to $80 per hour for crews. Prices rise if the job requires heavy grading, additional base rock, retaining walls, or erosion control—get multiple written quotes from local contractors for an accurate local estimate.

For many rural Maple Valley properties, gravel is a cost-effective option because of lower upfront cost and easier repair after frost heaves or surface washouts; it also allows better on-site infiltration if designed with proper grades. However, poor subgrade soils or inadequate drainage will increase maintenance, so investing in a good compacted base, geotextile fabric, and grading up front often saves money long term compared with repeated regrading or patching.

Contractors commonly recommend a layered approach: 4 to 6" of compacted road base or crushed rock as a structural layer, topped by 1 to 2" of smaller crushed gravel for the wearing surface, and a geotextile fabric under the base to reduce mixing with soft soils. Adding edge restraints, proper slope for drainage, and perimeter swales or dry wells helps manage West Washington rainfall and reduces washouts.
