Gravel in Thorp, WA

Prices in rural Thorp typically range rather than a fixed rate: expect roughly $20 to $50 per ton for common gravels, which translates to about $28 to $70 per cubic yard (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard). Final price depends on material type, local supplier, and delivery distance; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact, up-front pricing and note our 3-ton minimum order.

Local suppliers often stock 3/4" crushed rock, road base/crush-and-run, pea gravel, drain rock, and decomposed granite. For Thorp driveways we generally recommend a compactable base such as road base or 3/4" crushed rock for the underlayer and a 3/8" to 3/4" crushed gravel for the wearing surface for good compaction, drainage, and traction.

Using a common 2-car driveway size of 20 ft x 20 ft (400 sq ft): at 4" depth you need about 5.0 cubic yards (~7.0 tons); at 6" depth you need about 7.4 cubic yards (~10.4 tons). Adjust quantities to your actual dimensions and add 5-10% extra for compaction and grading; Hello Gravel has a material calculator you can use at checkout.

Thorp’s small-town sites often have variable soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that can cause movement and rutting if the base is weak. Heavy rain events, poor subgrade drainage, and areas with clay can increase washout risks, so proper base prep, geotextile fabric, and grading are important to maintain performance.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and county; many rural properties in and around Thorp do not require a simple replacement gravel driveway permit, but paving or changing drainage may. Check with your local city/county building or public works office and review any HOA rules before installing; if unsure, contact Hello Gravel and we can point you to local resources.

For walkways choose a small, angular material such as 3/8" crushed rock or decomposed granite compacted over a firm base and edged to keep material contained. For erosion control on slopes use larger drain rock or 1"-2" riprap at drainage channels and install smaller angular gravel upslope with geotextile fabric; add vegetation where possible to stabilize long-term.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost (roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed by owner) but requires periodic regrading and topping. Asphalt costs more upfront ($3 to $7 per sq ft) and needs resealing every few years, while pavers are the most expensive ($10+ per sq ft) but are very durable and allow easy repairs. Choose gravel if budget and drainage are priorities, asphalt for smoother low-maintenance surface, and pavers for long-term curb appeal.

Expect deliveries by tri-axle dump truck that need clear access, a stable place to offload, and enough turning room; narrow roads, low overhead lines, or soft shoulders can complicate delivery. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; drivers may charge extra for difficult access or tight offload spots, so note access details at checkout and contact our team if you have special delivery needs.

Late spring through early fall is usually best in Thorp because drier ground reduces washout and allows proper compaction. Avoid installing just before heavy rain or during freeze-thaw cycles; if you must install in wet seasons, plan for extra base work, erosion control, and follow-up grading.

Excavate organic topsoil, install geotextile fabric on poor subgrade, place and compact 4-6" of road base in 2" lifts with a plate compactor or roller, then add 2-3" of wearing gravel and compact. A well-prepared gravel driveway in Thorp typically lasts 5-15 years before needing major replenishment, depending on traffic, drainage, and maintenance such as occasional regrading and adding fresh material.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
