Gravel in West Lakestevens, WA

Typical delivered gravel prices in West Lakestevens vary by type and size. Expect a ballpark of $30 to $70 per ton for common base gravels and $60 to $120 per ton for decorative or specialty gravels; per cubic yard that is roughly $40 to $90, depending on density (1 cu yd ≈ 1.2 to 1.4 tons). Exact pricing and any delivery fees are shown at checkout for your ZIP code and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.

For West Lakestevens' wet climate choose angular, well-graded crushed rock (for example 3/4" to 1" crushed stone) or crushed basalt where available for better interlock and drainage. Use a compacted base layer of 3/4" minus or road base, and top with 3/8" crusher fines or fines-containing mix for a stable driving surface; loose pea gravel alone is not recommended for primary driveway surfaces because it migrates and puddles in heavy rain.

Use these typical estimates, adjusting for the depth you choose: a 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at 4" depth needs roughly 5 cubic yards (≈ 6.5 to 7.5 tons); at 6" expect about 7.5 cu yd (≈ 9.5 to 10.5 tons). A 10' x 10' patio at 2" base needs about 0.6 cu yd (≈ 0.8 to 0.9 tons) and at 4" about 1.25 cu yd (≈ 1.6 to 1.8 tons). A 100' long path 3' wide at 2" depth uses about 1.85 cu yd (≈ 2.3 to 2.6 tons) and at 4" about 3.7 cu yd (≈ 4.8 to 5.2 tons). These assume typical gravel density; use Hello Gravel's calculator for an exact quote by ZIP code.

Many West Washington jurisdictions, including areas near West Lakestevens, have stormwater or impervious-surface requirements that encourage permeable materials or limit total impermeable area. Properly installed gravel over an infiltration base with clean stone and geotextile can count as a permeable surface in some cases, but city or county regulations vary; check West Lakestevens planning/stormwater code or your county's public works department before installation.

For wet, loamy soils use a robust, well-compacted base: 6" to 8" of 3/4" minus or road base compacted in 2" lifts for driveways, plus a 1" to 2" top layer of crusher fines or compactable surfacing. Paver installations typically need 4" to 6" of compacted aggregate base, 1" of bedding sand, and proper edging; drainage trenches should be 12" to 24" deep with clean rock and fabric. Always use a geotextile between soft soils and aggregate and compact with a plate compactor for best performance in rainy West Washington conditions.

In West Lakestevens' rainy climate expect routine maintenance: light regrading after heavy storms and adding 1" to 2" of new material every 1 to 3 years for high-traffic driveways. Decorative beds and low-traffic paths typically need topping every 2 to 5 years; frequent inspections after winter and heavy rain will catch rutting or washouts early and reduce bigger repairs.

Gravel usually has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance (periodic regrading and topping), giving a useful life of roughly 5 to 15 years with routine care. Crushed concrete is similar to gravel on cost and maintenance and can be a lower-cost recycled option. Asphalt has a higher initial cost but longer service life (typically 15 to 30 years) and lower annual upkeep; exact costs depend on local rates, drainage needs, and traffic, so get quotes for your ZIP code and factor in maintenance when comparing.

For erosion control use larger, angular materials that resist movement: riprap or 1" to 4" angular crushed rock for slopes, and larger boulders or 3" to 6" rock where concentrated flow occurs. Combine rock with geotextile fabric, terraces, retaining structures, and proper drainage outlets; pea gravel and small rounded stones are usually poor choices for steep, rainy slopes because they wash away more easily.

Suppliers in West Lakestevens may list prices by ton or by cubic yard; Hello Gravel shows the unit on each product page and at checkout. A useful conversion is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 to 1.4 tons for most gravels, but actual weight varies by rock type and moisture content. Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order and that larger orders can affect per-ton delivery rates.

Deliveries arrive by dump truck (often tri-axle) and require clear access, a stable turn radius, and a safe place for the driver to stop; mark utilities, fences, and any obstacles in the drop area and note access in Order Notes. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed; confirm driveway width, overhead clearances, and parking plans before delivery to avoid delays.

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.
