Landscaping Material Delivered in LaCrosse, WA

Water that cannot get in is the problem on this ground. When the top inch of loess thaws over frozen soil below, rain and snowmelt run across the surface instead of soaking in, and every slope becomes a drainage path.

Washington Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in LaCrosse, WA for exactly that. Start with 5/8 minus where a surface has to pack hard.

LaCrosse sits in the middle of that ground, so a bulk load reaches farm approaches, shop pads and yard projects on the same footing as anywhere else in the county.

Materials for LaCrosse Projects

Beds, dry creek beds and ground cover carry a lot of yards here, and rounded stone is what those jobs call for. Washington yards file rounded stone under round rock rather than crushed, so ask for it that way.

• Washington River Rock is round rock for dry creek beds, downspout splash pads, planting beds and rain garden armour.
• Large River Rock runs 2 to 8 inch round, for swale and ditch armour, bank toes, culvert outfalls and feature beds where a smaller stone would be carried off in a winter storm.
• Natural Pea Gravel is washed and rounded, so it will not compact. Use it in play areas, dog runs and planting beds, and edge it where it can wander.
• Shredded Mulch is beauty bark, the Washington trade name for landscape bark. It covers planting beds, tree rings and slopes.
• Garden Soil is a blend of screened soil and compost for raised beds and vegetable gardens.

For hard surfaces, 5/8 minus, also called crushed surfacing top course or CSTC, is the Washington default. Crushed rock with the fines left in packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

It suits driveways, parking pads and shed or shop slabs.

Under that, 1 1/4 minus, also called crushed surfacing base course or CSBC, is the structural course. It has a larger top size and fewer fines than 5/8 minus, so it carries load and stays workable on soft wet ground.

Where water needs to move, drain rock, also called 7/8 clean or washed rock, keeps its voids. It goes in footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches.

The minus and clean split is the whole difference: minus compacts and holds, clean drains.

Ground and Conditions in LaCrosse

Loess covers this part of the state, and a lot of it. The windblown silt that escaped the Ice Age floods is piled into the rolling Palouse hills and reaches 250 feet thick in places.

It is fine, deep and easily worked, and it moves easily too.

That fine silt is why an under-built base shows up fast. Sheet and rill erosion of loess on long cultivated slopes runs on rain falling on frozen soil, and the thaw is the worst of it.

Route runoff before it starts cutting.

Eastern Washington's wet weather season runs October 1 through June 30. The working season is long and dry through the summer and closes when the ground freezes.

Cold winters freeze the soil to depth, and warm rain on frozen or part-thawed ground is the most damaging condition in this part of the state.

Frost depth is set by the county or city building department. Confirm the local number before you plan footings.
