Crushed Gravel we deliver in Yakima
Crushed Gravel in Yakima
Spring thaw marks the start of the crushed gravel season in Yakima. Many homeowners begin their driveway and base projects once the ground firms up.
Yakima gets about 9 inches of precipitation a year, so a crushed gravel surface needs good drainage to stay firm. Planning for washout during heavy rain is part of the job.
Crushed Gravel Options Available for Yakima Deliveries
For most driveways and base layers, the 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the most common choice. It compacts well and supports both light and heavy loads. The table below lists all the crushed gravel sizes available through Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for top dressing under pavers or as a leveling course. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Most ordered product for residential driveways and base work. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used for farm roads and heavy equipment zones. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridging layer to prevent the base from mixing with mud. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stone for saturated areas and deep compaction. |
Which Crushed Gravel to Use for Common Yakima Projects
The right product and depth depend on the project. This table matches typical jobs with the recommended crushed gravel size.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches as a base lift before finer gravel. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted, depending on soil. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy truck traffic. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill and compact in lifts, no more than 6 inches per lift. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches minimum, compacted with a plate compactor. |
Yakima Climate and Soil Conditions for Crushed Gravel
About 139 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window and can shift the ground if the base is not deep enough. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
About 20 inches of snow fall annually, and plowing can gouge a loose surface. Soils mapped in the Yakima area are commonly well drained, which may reduce the base stone needed under the surface layer. This area guidance suggests standard base depths often work, but your site may need adjustment.
Ground around Yakima takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. The deep and long ground freezing here means the base layer should be thick enough to resist frost heave.
Estimating Your Crushed Gravel Quantity in Yakima
Tonnes per square foot depend on depth and material density. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to figure the amount needed for your project area. Enter your dimensions and the calculator gives a tonnage estimate.
