Bulk gravel in the Mcchordafb area is commonly sold by local quarries, landscape supply yards and municipal stone suppliers in the Tacoma/Lakewood/Puyallup corridor. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and contractor haulers so you can see local product options and schedule delivery to your address. If you prefer to shop local directly, search for landscape supply or aggregate yards within a 20-mile radius of your zip code.

For driveways in this wet, temperate area, a compacting base like 3/4" minus road base or crusher-run is best because it locks together and sheds water when properly graded. For walkways and decorative surfaces, washed pea gravel or 3/8" to 1/2" decorative gravel provides good drainage but needs edge restraint and a stable base or geotextile. In low spots or clayey subgrades common here, add extra base depth and consider drainage to avoid rutting and ponding.

Approximate delivered ton ranges: a 20x30 patio with 2" of surface gravel needs about 4 to 6 tons (more if you add a compacted base); a typical 2-car driveway (about 20x20 to 24x24) with a 4" compacted base needs roughly 8 to 12 tons; a 10x10 walkway with 2" of gravel needs about 1 to 2 tons. These are estimates—wet soils, slopes, and desired finished depth will raise quantities, so use our calculator or request a site-specific quote.

Local rules vary: some Pierce County and city jurisdictions around Mcchordafb have stormwater and landscaping rules that limit impervious surfaces or require drainage measures, and many HOAs require design approval. Before ordering, check with your city, county planning office or your HOA for any restrictions, and include permit or approval notes when you place an order so you have documentation. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel and we can point you to local resources.

In wet West Washington conditions, use a 6" to 12" compacted aggregate base (road base or crushed rock) over a prepared subgrade, with heavier traffic needing 10" to 12". Install geotextile fabric where subgrade is soft, grade for drainage, and compact with a vibratory plate or roller to near 95% standard Proctor equivalent. Consider a thicker base and underdrains in areas with high groundwater or poor soils to prevent tracking and settlement.

Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum and standard lead time of 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion—request spreading at checkout—but there are no guarantees and access issues or safety concerns can prevent spreading. Mark your drop zone, clear obstructions and note tight access in Order Notes to help the driver place material where you need it.

Clear vegetation and obstacles, confirm a firm, level drop location, and provide clear directions or markers for the driver to avoid delays. If the subgrade is soft from rain, lay temporary access boards or a gravel tracking pad to prevent trucks getting stuck and consider a geotextile to separate soft soils from your aggregate. Schedule delivery for a drier period if possible and plan to compact the material soon after delivery to lock it in place.

Washed gravel has fines removed, so it drains better, is cleaner and is preferable for decorative surfaces, walkways and top layers. Unwashed mixes like crusher-run or 3/4" minus contain fines that help the material compact into a stable base for driveways and pads. In Mcchordafb's wet climate, use crusher-run or road base for structural layers and a washed surface gravel for aesthetics and improved drainage.

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