Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Everett, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Everett, WA for two kinds of buyers: crews working a schedule and homeowners fixing one path or pad. Both usually start with 5/8 minus, the crushed rock this market calls CSTC when it is written into a spec.

Everett sits on the Puget Sound lowland, where the ground is glacial and the wet season runs long. That shapes what you order far more than the size of the job does.

Ground and Conditions in Everett

Across the Puget Sound lowland, the upper soil is loose and the dense till below it is not. Rain soaks down, hits that till, and stops, so the water table sits close to the surface all winter.

A thin base over that ground tells on itself fast. The surface ruts and pumps, and the edges break down where water stands against them.

The material underneath never got a chance to hold.

The fix is to take the water sideways to daylight instead of letting it sit. Footing drains and washed drain rock do most of that work here, because a clean stone keeps its voids while a minus product fills them in.

The wet season runs October through April, and exposed soil has to be stabilized within two days in that window against seven days in summer. Base and paving work gets scheduled for the dry months.

Winter work means keeping the grade covered.

Mild, wet winters matter more than frost in this part of the state. Saturation is what softens a base, so a drive that was firm in August can rut by February.

Materials for Everett Projects

Fines and screenings carry a lot of the path and walkway work around here, because a minus product packs down hard underfoot. The fines act as a binder once the material is worked in and wetted.

Walkway Gravel, also called 1/4 minus or quarter minus, is the fine end of the minus range. It is what you want for garden paths, side yards and any surface that has to feel firm through a wet winter.

Stone Screenings, sold locally as crusher dust or 3/8 minus, is the bedding material. It compacts rather than drains, which is why it works under pavers and flagstone and as a joint filler.

Where a path needs to shed water instead of holding it, switch to a washed stone. 3/8" Crushed Stone, or 3/8 clean, has no fines, so it stays open for paver joints and small drain runs.

5/8 Minus is the Washington default surfacing course, with the fines left in. It packs hard and sheds water rather than soaking it up, which suits driveways, parking pads and shed slabs.

Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean or washed rock, is the washed stone for footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches. It holds its voids where perched water sits on till.
