Buy Fill Dirt in Fox Island, WA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Fox Island, WA online, by the ton or by the yard. Washington Rock Supply brings 5/8 minus, crushed stone, sand and soil to your site.

Ground here sits on a dense till cap that holds winter rain close to the surface, so what you put on top has to shed water and carry load.

Materials for Fox Island Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here. Raise a low corner, backfill an over-excavation, or build up a planting bed before anything granular goes down.

Fill Dirt, also called common borrow, raises grade and fills over-excavations. Top Soil is screened and blended for lawn repair, new turf and settling grades.

Garden Soil is a blend of screened soil and compost for raised beds and vegetable gardens. It feeds a bed rather than just filling it.

Once grades are set, a base course goes down. 5/8 Minus is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it packs hard and sheds water.

Use 1 1/4 Minus, the crushed surfacing base course, under it on soft ground.

Drainage and sand round out a typical order.

• Drain Rock (7/8 clean) is washed rock with no fines, for footing and French drains.
• Washed Sand and Mason Sand for concrete, bedding and mortar.
• Natural Pea Gravel and Washington River Rock for beds and splash pads.

Ground and Conditions in Fox Island

Start with where the water goes. Rain soaks the loose upper soil, hits the dense till below and stops, so the water table sits close to the surface all winter.

That is perched water, and it is the reason a drive that was firm in August can rut in February. Saturation softens a base here more than cold does.

Across the Puget Sound lowland, the fix is to take water sideways to daylight. Footing drains and washed drain rock do most of that work on the lowland side of the state.

Winter rain perching where sand meets clay also undercuts cut slopes and fill, which puts coastal and valley bluffs on the landslide maps. Keep exposed soil covered through the wet season.

The wet season runs October through April. Under the state stormwater manual for western Washington, exposed soil must be stabilized within two days in that window against seven days in summer.

Schedule base, paving and paver work for the dry months. Pierce County publishes a 12 inch frost depth for its lowlands, though it is saturation, not frost, that softens a base here.
