Gravel in South Cheney, WA

Expect a range rather than a single price: most common gravel types delivered to South Cheney run roughly $25 to $60 per ton depending on size, type (pea, crushed, recycled), and distance from the quarry. Specialty decorative gravels or color-treated stone can cost more. For an exact, up-to-date price for your address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.

For West Washington’s rainy conditions, a structured system works best: a compacted crushed-rock base (1 1/4" minus or crusher run) for drainage and stability, topped with a 3/4" crushed stone or 1/2" crushed rock wearing layer. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts and sinks in heavy rain and is best only as a thin top layer or for low-traffic areas. Use angular crushed stone rather than rounded river rock to resist migration and improve compaction.

For a 20 x 40 ft driveway: 4" depth requires about 13 tons of gravel, while 6" depth requires about 19 tons. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so most driveway projects will exceed that and be eligible for standard delivery. Always round up to allow for compaction and settling, and ask your supplier to confirm using the exact material density.

Installation costs vary by site conditions, but expect a ballpark of $3 to $8 per square foot for full installation (grading, base rock, compaction, and top gravel) in the South Cheney area. Simpler top-ups or regrading jobs cost less, while difficult access, steep slopes, or heavy clay soils increase labor and equipment needs. Get at least two local quotes and confirm whether quotes include material, hauling, compaction, and edge restraints.

Permit and HOA rules vary: private HOAs often have design or material restrictions, and city or county codes can require permits for new driveway curb cuts or changes that affect stormwater. South Cheney homeowners should check with their city building or public works department and review HOA covenants before ordering materials. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel and ask for time to confirm local requirements before scheduling delivery.

In South Cheney’s wet and freeze-thaw conditions expect annual light maintenance (raking, regrading, and occasional compaction) and a top-up every 3 to 5 years for moderate use. With regular maintenance and a properly installed base, a gravel driveway can last 10 to 20 years; poor drainage or clay subgrade shortens life. Budget for periodic maintenance costs like machine rental or contractor regrading—usually a few hundred dollars per visit depending on size.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and best drainage for rainy South Cheney conditions, typically $1 to $3 per sq ft for material-only installs. Asphalt costs more up front ($4 to $8 per sq ft) and gives a smoother surface but can soften in wet weather and needs sealcoating periodically. Pavers are the most expensive ($10+ per sq ft) but offer long life and high drainage control when installed correctly; choose based on budget, appearance, and maintenance priorities.

Yes—West Washington suppliers often offer both local quarry rock and recycled aggregates; availability and pricing depend on nearby quarries and recent demand. Recycled material tends to be cheaper but can vary in consistency and appearance. Hello Gravel sources regionally and can show local options, photos, and pricing for your zip code so you can compare recycled versus quarried products before ordering.

On clay soils and sloped sites in South Cheney, geotextile fabric plus a compacted crushed-rock base is strongly recommended to prevent rutting, mixing with subgrade, and washout. Typical practice is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed base (A-ABC or crusher run) with geotextile underneath, then 2 to 3 inches of wearing gravel on top. Edge restraints and proper drainage swales also help maintain the surface in rainy conditions.
