Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your West Linn address and unloads right where you point.
A single 3/8-inch layer of crushed gravel can transform a walkway. For a 10-by-20-foot parking pad, you are likely to need about 8 to 10 tons, and a longer driveway can run 20 tons or more. West Linn gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
Crushed gravel is angular material that locks together under compaction. It does not slide like smooth pebbles, which makes it a reliable base for heavy use. The right size depends on what the ground is doing underneath.
Each size fixes a different problem. The table below shows the products Gravel Monkey delivers to West Linn addresses, what they are for, and where they fit best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Top surface for paths and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Locks well and drains; the most versatile option. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | For truck traffic or equipment storage areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Stops the base from sinking into mud. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Creates a working platform on wet ground. |
The project type tells you the size. Match the problem to the product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in 6-inch lifts. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as first lift, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Start with 4 to 6 inches of the large stone. |

| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted, level. |
West Linn soils mapped in the area are commonly moderately well drained. That means the ground absorbs water at a moderate rate, but the clay content in many spots can hold moisture. About 98 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
About 30 days a year drop below 32F, and West Linn sees about 3 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing a loose crushed gravel surface can push stone into the lawn or rut the base, so a heavier top size or a stabilizer may help. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, which means a fairly thin base layer can hold a light structure. The ground around West Linn is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That runoff argues for a deeper drainage layer under the surface stone to keep the base from saturating.
Clackamas County permitted about 743 single-family homes in 2024. For new construction or a driveway replacement, the county figure suggests steady demand for base material, and the local rainfall makes crushed gravel a sensible choice because its angular shape lets water pass through while the stone stays in place.
You estimate tonnage by the cubic yard of space you need to fill, then convert by the material's density. Every size of crushed gravel has a different weight per yard. The simplest way to know your number is to use the material calculators on this site, which show you a tonnage range before you check out.
You order by the ton on this site, choose a delivery date at least 3 business days after today, and pick a window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout, and qualifying orders get free delivery. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the window and a photo of the load. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. A valid phone number is required.

Crushed gravel works with other bulk materials to handle the full job. Consider these options.
Yes. Soils mapped in the West Linn area are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground around West Linn is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly. That means you may need to add more base depth or a separate drainage layer to keep the surface stable in wet weather.
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 98 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so summer and early fall usually offer firmer ground for the delivery truck.
Crushed gravel is not a decorative top surface for a living area because the angular edges are uncomfortable underfoot and can track indoors. It also does not work as a drainage stone in french drains, since the fines can clog the fabric.
Yes. A contractor can place the order in their own name or have the homeowner order and put the contractor's address as the delivery site. The site contact must be available during the window regardless.
