Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Bingen, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bingen, WA. The working window here runs roughly late spring to early autumn, so most site work gets squeezed into a short stretch of dry weather.

Order 5/8 minus and the rest of your material for a patio or flatwork project, and time the drop to that window.

Ground and Conditions in Bingen

Across the Cascade Range and the east-slope valleys, the ground is thin and stony on the slopes, with glacial and river gravel down on the valley floors. Under a patio or a slab, that mix shows up as one failure mode.

A base that was never built to carry load moves unevenly, and the flatwork above it cracks or settles out of level. The fix is a structural course that carries the load and stays workable, placed under the finer bedding layer.

Water behaves differently on each side of the range. The west slope sheds heavy annual rainfall off steep ground, while the east-slope valleys stay dry and take their trouble as snowmelt and cloudburst runoff arriving all at once.

In this part of the state, that runoff is what scours road shoulders, ditches and culvert outfalls. On a patio or a flat pad, the answer is a base that sheds water rather than holding it.

The region also runs a real freeze-thaw cycle, with cold clear nights following sunny days on the east slope. Frost heave is a genuine concern at elevation, and frost depth is set by the local building department.

Materials for Bingen Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice decides how the finished surface sits. Start with crusher dust, also called 3/8 minus or screenings.

Crusher dust is a minus product, so it compacts rather than drains. That is exactly what a setting bed needs under pavers and flagstone, and it doubles as joint filler.

For the structural course below the bedding, use 1 1/4 minus, also called crushed surfacing base course or CSBC. It has a larger top size and fewer fines, so it carries load and stays workable on soft, wet ground.

Where you want a washed stone under a permeable paver system instead of a minus, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the fines-free option. It keeps its voids, so water moves through the joint and bedding layers.

5/8 Minus, also called crushed surfacing top course or CSTC, is the Washington default surfacing course. The fines are left in, so it packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed or shop slabs. Walkway Gravel, also called 1/4 minus or quarter minus, is the fine end of the minus range and packs down tight underfoot for garden paths and side yards.
