Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Burbank, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Burbank, WA for the jobs a yard here actually runs: a graded building pad, new turf, raised beds, and the drainage that keeps water moving. Across the Columbia Basin and the channeled scablands, windblown silt sits deep over basalt, and that ground shapes what you order.

If you are prepping a pad or a bed, start with 5/8 minus. It is the Washington default surfacing course, sold locally as crushed surfacing top course, and it packs hard because the fines stay in.

Materials for Burbank Projects

Grading and bed prep is the work behind a lot of orders here, and it starts with soil and fill rather than rock. Strip what is there, build the grade back up, then cap it with a granular course that will hold.

For raising grade or backfilling an over-excavation, Fill Dirt is the base layer. It is common borrow, unscreened fill, and it goes down before anything granular.

On top of that, Top Soil is screened and blended for lawn repair, new turf and grading out settlement. For raised beds and vegetable gardens, Garden Soil is a blend of screened soil and compost rather than plain topsoil.

Put Shredded Mulch, sold here as beauty bark, on the beds and tree rings once the soil work is done.

Then comes the structural and surfacing work. 1 1/4 Minus is the base course, known locally as crushed surfacing base course, and it carries load under a drive, parking area or slab.

Above it, 5/8 Minus is the 5/8 inch minus top course for driveways, parking pads, and shed and shop slabs. The fines are still in it, so it compacts and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Ground and Conditions in Burbank

The water driver here is scarcity, then too much at once. Parts of the basin take only seven to nine inches of rain a year, so the ground runs dry and loose.

When a thunderstorm or a fast thaw does land, silt sheds water rather than absorbing it.

Where flood gravel is at the surface, water disappears straight down instead. That difference decides whether you need a drainage layer or just a compacted cap.

Wind off bare, dry silt moves soil, and short violent runoff cuts rills and gullies into loess when a cloudburst hits ground with no cover. Irrigation runoff moves soil too.

The working season is long either side of a hard winter, but once snow falls or the ground freezes, placing and compacting base material stops being practical.

Ground freezes properly on this side of the Cascades, unlike west of the range. Frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for, and the county or city building department sets the footing depth figure.

Questions About Ordering in Burbank

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Burbank?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard when you check out online.

Each product page has a calculator so you can size the load against your own project before you place the order, and the truck tips it on site when it arrives.

What stone should I use for drainage in Burbank?

Drain Rock, also sold as 7/8 clean or washed rock, is the washed, fines-free stone for footing, French and curtain drains and infiltration trenches. Because the fines are washed out, it keeps its voids where water perches on tight ground.

For trench backfill and pipe surround, 3/4 inch clean does the same draining job.
