Crushed Gravel we deliver in Washington
Crushed Gravel in Washington
If you are putting in a driveway or a base for a shed, crushed gravel gives you a surface that compacts firm. Two sizes that come up often are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for general base work and 3/8" Crushed Gravel for a finer top layer.
Washington gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of any gravel project. Choosing the right base depth helps keep the surface stable over time.
Crushed Gravel Sizes Available in Washington
Crushed gravel is sold in several sizes so you can match each layer of the job. The table below lists the options we deliver in the Washington area.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for paths and as a top dressing over a base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles traffic well and locks together when compacted. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Often used under concrete or large equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before a finer layer goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for muddy areas and filling deep ruts. |
Which Crushed Gravel to Order for Common Jobs
The table below shows typical projects and the sizes that work. The deeper option costs less per ton but requires more material to reach the same finished grade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches after compaction |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches total |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Place and compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift, then cap with 3/4" |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches compacted |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Project
Washington sits in Franklin County, where both rural lanes and in-town lots see new building. The county permitted about 501 single-family homes in 2024. For any new gravel surface, the local climate matters.
The area averages about 72 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is worth planning. About 111 days a year drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost penetration is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to be. The ground around Washington is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer a good investment for any gravel surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Washington
Do winter conditions in Washington affect delivery?
Yes. Washington averages about 111 days below freezing and about 14 inches of snow each year. Those conditions can make the ground soft or frozen, so we work with you to schedule delivery when the site is accessible.
Does the ground in Washington freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes. The ground freezing here is real but moderate, and frozen ground can make compaction harder. Ordering early in the season or during a dry spell helps avoid a frozen base.
How does delivery scheduling work after I order?
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). We send an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
How deep should a gravel driveway be?
A standard driveway needs a base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed gravel after compaction. Thicker bases are needed on soft subgrade or for heavy traffic.
