5/8 Minus, Stone and Soil Delivery in Bothell, WA

Washington Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Bothell, WA, and the material this ground asks for first is washed stone. Rain soaks the loose upper soil, hits the dense till below, and stops there.

The water table sits close to the surface all winter instead of draining away.

5/8 minus, the crushed surfacing top course local crews call CSTC, handles the surfaces. The drainage has to move sideways to daylight, and that takes clean rock with the fines washed out.

Materials for Bothell Projects

Start with the drainage stone. Drain Rock, sold here as 7/8 clean, carries footing drains, French drains and curtain drains.

Washed with no fines, it keeps its voids open where perched water sits on till.

Trench runs and under-slab drainage want 3/4" Crushed Stone. It is the washed counterpart to a minus product, so it drains instead of compacting.

#4 Crushed Stone, the 4 stone drywell rock, is the coarse size for drywells and heavy drainage.

Downspout runs and splash pads take round stone. Washington River Rock lines dry creek beds and rain garden edges, and Large River Rock armours swales and ditch lines where a small stone would wash out in a winter storm.

For surfaces, 5/8 Minus is the Washington default. It packs hard and sheds water because the crusher fines stay in the blend.

Below it, 1 1/4 Minus, the crushed surfacing base course or CSBC, carries load on soft wet ground.

Finer work follows the same minus-versus-clean split. Walkway Gravel is 1/4 minus, tight underfoot on paths and side yards.

Stone Screenings, or crusher dust, beds pavers and fills joints. 3/8" Crushed Stone is the washed 3/8 clean for permeable joints.

Bothell sits in Snohomish County, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area, including Everett, Marysville, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Lake Stevens.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the address you give. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, because the stone comes off in a single drop and stays where it falls.

Think about ground conditions when you pick the date. Soft winter ground ruts under a loaded truck, so a firm, well-drained spot for the pile keeps the delivery clean.

Ground and Conditions in Bothell

Glacial ground shapes what happens here. The Vashon ice sheet left a dense till cap across the Puget Sound lowland, hard enough in its lower part that crews call it hardpan, over advance outwash sand.

Perched water is the result. Rain soaks the loose upper soil, reaches the till and stops, so the water table sits close to the surface all winter.

Anything built on till needs that water taken sideways to daylight.

That is why footing drains and washed drain rock do so much of the work on this ground. Clean stone keeps a path open for water; a minus product would compact and hold it.

The wet season runs October through April. Exposed soil must be stabilized within two days in that window against seven days in summer, so winter work needs the grade kept covered.

Mild, wet winters mean saturation softens a base more than frost does. A drive that was firm in August can rut in February, so schedule base and paving work for the dry months.
