This is dry country on the east side of the Cascades, where silt sheds a cloudburst instead of soaking it up. That shapes what you order.

Materials for East Wenatchee Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection here. Rounded and crushed sizes each hold their ground differently, so match the stone to the water it has to handle.

Large river rock, sold as 2 to 8 inch round or cobble, arms swales, ditch lines, bank toes and culvert outfalls. The rounded shape shrugs off a fast winter storm that would carry smaller stone away.

RipRap is the graded coarse stone for shoreline, streambank, cut-slope and outfall protection.

For footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches, use drain rock, the washed 7/8 clean stone. With no fines in it, it keeps its voids open where water sits on till.

Below that, 3/4" Crushed Stone backfills trenches, surrounds pipe and drains under slabs. It is the washed counterpart to a minus product, so it drains rather than compacts.

On the fine end, Walkway Gravel is 1/4 minus, a tight packing surface for garden paths and side yards. 5/8 Minus tops driveways, parking pads and shop slabs.

Ground and Conditions in East Wenatchee

Across the Columbia Basin, Yakima Valley and the channeled scablands, the ground runs from windblown loess over basalt to bare rock and flood-laid gravel bars. The silt sits deep in places and grows orchards and wheat under irrigation.

Water here comes in two modes. Parts of the basin take only seven to nine inches of rain a year, so the ground is dry and loose.

When a thunderstorm or a rapid thaw lands, silt sheds the water rather than absorbing it, and bare ground cuts rills and gullies fast.

Wind off dry silt moves soil too, and irrigation runoff carries it. On the flood-gravel side, water disappears straight down instead, which is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface course.

The working season runs long either side of a hard winter. Eastern Washington's wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30, and once snow falls or the ground freezes, placing and compacting base material stops being practical.

Time a delivery to the ground you actually have.

These winters freeze properly, unlike west of the Cascades, and frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for. The county or city building department sets the footing depth figure.
