Gravel in Mountlake Terrace, WA

For West Washington's wet conditions, angular crushed gravel with fines (often called crush-and-run or 3/4" minus) is a good choice for driveways because it compacts and sheds water while locking in place. For paths and decorative areas, 3/8" to 1/2" crushed rock or crushed rock with small fines provides good traction and drainage. Avoid loose rounded pea gravel for driveways in Mountlake Terrace since it migrates more easily on slopes and in heavy rain.

Calculate cubic yards first: Length x width x depth (in feet), divided by 27 gives cubic yards. Convert to tons using about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical gravel; for example, a 20' x 10' driveway at 4" depth is 20 x 10 x 0.333 / 27 = 2.47 cu yd, roughly 3 to 3.5 tons. Order a 5-10% overage to allow for compaction and settling in rainy conditions.

Delivered gravel prices in the Seattle metro vary by type and supplier but commonly range from about $30 to $75 per ton delivered; Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Installation costs (spreading, base prep, compaction) can add $5 to $20 per square yard depending on site access and labor; ask for on-site quotes because access, slope, and edging needs in Mountlake Terrace affect price.

Yes, Snohomish County and the greater Seattle metro have multiple local quarries and aggregate yards that serve Mountlake Terrace; Hello Gravel connects you directly with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced materials. Availability and color/texture will reflect local geology, so check sample photos or request notes about color in your order if appearance matters.

Clear vegetation and remove debris from the delivery area, mark utilities and any obstacles, and provide a clear drop zone for the dump truck to avoid damage. Install edging (timber, steel, or paver edge) and consider geotextile fabric on soft or clay soils to limit migration and reduce weed growth; tell your hauler about access constraints when ordering so they can plan truck placement.

Use a weed barrier under the gravel, install solid edging, and choose angular crushed material for better interlock to reduce migration. Rake and top up low spots annually after the rainy season, and for driveways periodically regrade and compact with a plate compactor; treat persistent weeds with spot herbicide or pull them before seeding.

Gravel is the lowest-cost, permeable option that works well for drainage and short-term budgets but needs periodic maintenance and topping up in rainy climates. Pavers give a finished look and low ongoing maintenance but cost more up front and require a good base; asphalt is durable and low-maintenance but is impermeable and may require stormwater planning. Consider slope, desired look, long-term maintenance, and any local stormwater or HOA preferences when deciding for Mountlake Terrace.

Regulations vary by neighborhood; Mountlake Terrace may have zoning or stormwater rules that affect front-yard permeable surfaces and driveway changes, and HOAs can impose additional design standards. Before installing, check your city planning department or your HOA covenants for specific rules and any permit requirements, and save time by including details and photos when you contact Hello Gravel or a contractor.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons but often provides free or low-cost delivery in many areas of the Seattle metro, including Mountlake Terrace; check your zip code at checkout for exact availability and rates. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be done at the driver's discretion if you request it at checkout, but there are no guarantees, so plan for additional labor or a contractor if you need professional spreading and compaction.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
