Driveway, Road, and Structural Aggregates
Strong subbases and well designed driveways start with the right aggregates. We supply materials that meet county road standards and perform well under the weight of farm equipment and frequent freeze cycles common to the Columbia River Gorge.
Driveway Construction and Repair
For long lasting access we recommend layered aggregate systems. Start with a compacted road base or crusher run, add a structural layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel, and finish with a wearing layer suited to traffic.
- Road Base provides a stable, load bearing layer for farm roads and private drives.
- Crusher Run compacts tightly for a firm foundation in wet climates.
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and Driveway Gravel make excellent wearing layers that shed water and resist rutting.
Drainage and Foundation Work
Proper drainage is critical on Hood River County slopes and terraces. Drain rock and #57 stone are common specs for footing drains, French drains, and retaining wall backfill.
- #57 Stone for perforated pipe beds and concrete mix reinforcement
- Drain Rock for subsurface drainage and leach fields
- Crushed Concrete as a cost effective recycled base material
Soils, Sands, and Specialty Materials
In addition to aggregates we supply topsoil, fill, and a variety of sands and specialty surfaces to support planting, play areas, and aesthetic projects across Hood River County.
Topsoil, Fill Dirt, and Planting Media
Our screened topsoil works well for vineyard replanting, orchard beds, and lawn renovation. Fill dirt supports grade correction and site leveling before compaction or paving.
- Topsoil for planting beds, turf establishment, and erosion control
- Fill Dirt for structural fill and subgrade preparation
- Decomposed Granite for low maintenance walking surfaces and dry climate garden beds
Sands for Masonry and Play Areas
We offer washed mason sand for mortar, washed sand for bedding, and playground sand that meets safety guidelines for public and private play areas.

Choosing the Right Aggregates for Hood River County Projects
Selecting the right aggregate depends on soil type, slope, and traffic. Hood River County soils include volcanic loams, alluvial deposits near the Columbia, and rocky glacial outwash on higher ground. We match materials to local geology so your surface performs through wet winters, dry summers, and seasonal freeze-thaw.
Material Selection Considerations
- Soil drainage: choose angular drain rock or #57 stone for high permeability
- Traffic loading: use road base and crusher run under heavier equipment
- Erosion control: use river rock or larger angular stone to armor swales
- Aesthetics: pea gravel and decomposed granite provide attractive, low maintenance finishes
Regional Challenges
Hood River County's microclimates mean materials must resist erosion and maintain grade. Snowmelt and spring rains can concentrate runoff, so properly sized aggregates and drainage rock are essential for long life.
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveways, subbase | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, concrete mix | 3/4 inch to 1 inch | Excellent |
| Driveway Gravel | Wearing layer for drives | Varied blends | Good |
| Crusher Run | Compacted sub base | Mixed fines and stone | Fair |
| Road Base | Private roads, rural drives | Crushed and graded | Good |
| Drain Rock | French drains, footing drain | 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch | Excellent |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, playgrounds | 3/8 inch | Fair |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios | Fine to coarse | Moderate |
Common Projects We Support in Hood River County
Vineyard and Orchard Access Roads
Many Hood River County customers need durable access roads that resist rutting and erosion. Road base and crusher run, combined with a wearing layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel, create low maintenance haul roads that handle seasonal moisture and tractor traffic.
Rural Driveways and Private Roads
For residential driveways, layered aggregates with proper crown and drainage reduce maintenance. We recommend a compacted base, then a wearing course selected for local rainfall and traffic volumes.
Drainage Upgrades and Erosion Control
French drains, swales, and rip rap installations often use drain rock, river rock, and #57 stone. These materials protect slopes and manage spring runoff effectively.
Landscaping and Decorative Projects
Pea gravel, river rock, and decomposed granite are popular for patios, pathways, and decorative beds in Hood River's residential landscapes. Our topsoil supports native plantings and orchard replanting projects.
