Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Touchet, WA

Touchet has hot, dry summers and cool, wetter winters, so the best months for delivery and installation are typically late spring through early fall. Avoid heavy rain, thawing ground, and deep frost because muddy or frozen conditions make delivery and compaction difficult. Plan ahead in winter and shoulder seasons because lead times can be longer and site prep may require extra drainage work.

Many properties in the Touchet area have fine-textured or silty soils and pockets that hold moisture, so proper drainage and a stable base are important for lasting results. Choose materials and layering strategies that promote drainage and compaction for vehicle areas, and consider a geotextile or sub-base where soils are soft. Always assess slope, runoff paths, and nearby irrigation to prevent washouts and pooling.

Common projects include driveway repairs and builds, parking pads, erosion control, garden beds, and basic site grading. Driveways and pads need materials that compact well and shed water, while landscaping and garden projects focus more on appearance and top dressing. Contractors often order larger volumes and heavier-duty base materials, while homeowners typically order thinner surface layers and decorative aggregates.

Match the material to the function: durable, compactable mixes for driveways and pads, well-draining blends for slopes and erosion control, and cleaner, finer materials for planting beds and pathways. Consider load, drainage, and appearance, and note that regional sourcing causes color and texture variation. Use our material calculator or contact our sales team for guidance on quantities and options.

We require a 3-ton minimum order and most deliveries arrive by dump truck, typically tri-axle. Truck capacities vary by vehicle and material density, so a single truck commonly carries multiple tons or several cubic yards; your checkout will show exact quantities and truck counts. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Rural roads, private lanes, and bridge weight limits can restrict large truck access in and around Touchet, so check local access and mention narrow drives or gates in Order Notes. Drivers may refuse unsafe or obstructed sites and tailgate spreading is offered at their discretion. If you have long driveways, low-clearance obstacles, or seasonal mud, discuss access with our team before ordering.

Permit requirements vary by project scope and location; minor deliveries and small landscaping jobs often do not need permits, but new driveways or substantial grading may require county permits or a driveway approach permit. Check with Walla Walla County public works or your city planning office before starting major work to confirm local rules and setbacks. If you are working with a contractor they can usually advise on permits needed.

Delivery cost depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, local hauling rates, site access, and seasonal demand. You can get a transparent quote on our site once you enter your zip code; the checkout shows material price, delivery fee, and truck counts. For budget projects, ordering larger volumes or scheduling standard delivery windows can reduce per-ton costs.

Drivers typically deliver from dump trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on truck type and site conditions. Expect material to be dropped in one or a few piles where the truck can safely access, and plan to spread or compact afterward unless you arrange professional spreading separately. If spreading is important, note it in Order Notes and be prepared that the driver will evaluate safety on arrival.

Consider blended approaches like using a compactable base layer with a thinner surface of a more decorative material to reduce costs while keeping durability. Buy in bulk to lower unit pricing, schedule standard delivery to avoid rush fees, and compare material options through our site to find budget-friendly mixes. Also plan site preparation to avoid hidden costs from rework due to poor drainage or inadequate compaction.

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

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.
