Gravel in Mukilteo, WA

Expect a wide range depending on material type and source; many homeowners in Mukilteo see bulk gravel prices roughly between $30 and $80 per ton delivered.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel.

Crushed rock (3/4" minus or 1" clean crushed) and 3/4" crushed gravel are the best all-around drainage options because they lock together and allow water to pass through. Washed drain rock (1/2" to 1") or crushed rock combined with a layer of coarse drain rock is a common approach around Mukilteo homes to handle heavy winter rain. Avoid fine, compacting materials like sand or fines-only mixes where you need long-term drainage.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Mukilteo and nearby West Washington; delivery fees often depend on distance, driveway access, and order size. In many Mukilteo neighborhoods delivery is free for standard orders, but tight access, next-day delivery, or offload locations can incur additional charges.

Measure the area in square feet (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth in feet, then multiply by 0.075 to convert cubic feet to tons (for typical gravel density). For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft patio at 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 20 x 10 x 0.25 x 0.075 = 3.75 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for quick estimates and round up to account for compaction and waste.

Permit requirements vary by property and whether you change curb cuts, stormwater connections, or alter impervious surface calculations; many simple residential gravel driveways do not require a permit, but projects that affect drainage, right-of-way, or stormwater may. Contact the City of Mukilteo Planning or Public Works to confirm rules for your address before you start, and check local HOA rules if applicable. If in doubt, ask Hello Gravel or a local contractor for guidance before ordering materials.

Gravel provides good traction on snow and ice once compacted and is commonly used in Mukilteo, but it doesn't melt ice like salt and can be harder to plow cleanly. Use coarser, angular material for better grip and avoid very small pea gravel on driveways that will scatter under plowing. For icy periods combine gravel with proper grading, drainage, and a safe de-icing plan for the best results.

A typical residential driveway in Mukilteo needs a compacted base of 3 to 6 inches of crushed rock or road base, topped by 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel for a total of 5 to 9 inches depending on soil and traffic. On soft or sloped sites add more base and consider geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with native soil. Proper grading and drainage are essential in Mukilteo's wet climate to avoid washouts and rutting.

Crushed rock is angular and locks together, making it great for driveways and drainage; pea gravel is small and rounded, comfortable for walking and decorative but can shift more easily; river rock is larger, smooth, and mainly ornamental or used for dry creek beds. In Mukilteo, crushed rock is preferred where stability and drainage matter, while pea gravel and river rock are common for patios, planters, and decorative accents. Regional stone color and texture will vary, so check samples or add notes at checkout.

Yes—when combined with proper design elements like terracing, retaining walls, geotextile fabric, and appropriate sizing, gravel can reduce erosion on small to moderate slopes common in Mukilteo. Coarser rock placed at toe-of-slope or in drainage swales is effective at slowing runoff and protecting soil. For steep or high-risk slopes consult a civil engineer or local contractor to specify rock sizes and drainage structures.

Installation costs vary by site conditions, but in Mukilteo contractors commonly charge for excavation, base material, compaction, and surface gravel; expect labor and site prep to add roughly $1 to $4 per square foot on top of material costs. Tight access, significant grading, or drainage work can increase costs, so get multiple local bids and include Hello Gravel material pricing in your estimates. We can help connect you with local suppliers to get accurate material-only pricing before hiring labor.

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available if ordered before our cutoff (see checkout for current rules); seasonal demand can extend lead times in the rainy fall and spring as contractors order more. Regional sourcing means some specific blends or colors may have limited availability at certain times, so check lead times on our product pages or contact our team for schedule-sensitive projects. We advise ordering earlier for winter prep or large landscape projects.

Recycled gravel is often less expensive and is a sustainable choice for base layers, drainage, and subgrade work, while virgin crushed rock typically has more consistent gradation and appearance for finished surfaces. In Mukilteo, recycled material can work well for underlayers or utility trenches, but choose virgin stone for driveway surfaces or decorative areas where appearance and long-term stability matter. If you have concerns about contaminants or color, ask suppliers for specifications or samples before ordering.

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