Your Project, the Right Rock

For common Walla Walla jobs, here is a quick guide to what to order and what to expect.

How Walla Walla Weather Changes Your Material Choice

Walla Walla freezes about 113 days a year. When the ground freezes and thaws, an unstable base heaves and shifts. That is why a compacted layer of crusher run matters here more than in warmer places. Hard freezes shape the calendar, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

The area sees roughly 9 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone into the yard and leave ruts. Using a compactable product like decomposed granite or a road base on driveways and lanes reduces that problem.

Soils mapped in the Walla Walla area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means water moves through the ground fast, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer than you would add on clay ground. The soil water group here soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff, which also cuts down on the drainage stone required.

Estimating How Many Tons You Need

To figure out how much gravel or rock to order, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide how deep you want it. Our material calculators convert those dimensions to tons for you. That is the only number you need to start the order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the length of the freeze season in Walla Walla change what I should order?

Yes. With about 113 days below freezing, the ground heaves and thaws repeatedly. A well-compacted base layer like crusher run under your surface stone prevents shifting and keeps the surface level.

Is Walla Walla wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. About 16 inches of rain falls a year, and the soil drains quickly. Materials that let water pass, such as drain rock and river rock, reduce washout and puddling in beds and around foundations.

How is gravel and rock measured and sold?

Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. You enter the quantity in tons when you order. Use the material calculators to estimate how many tons you need based on your area and depth.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. Make sure there is a clear path to where you want the material dumped. If access is tight, the crew will unload as close as safely possible.
