Crusher Dust, Stone and Soil Delivery in Lake Stevens, WA

Washington Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Lake Stevens, WA, and the fastest way to start is the calculator on each product page. Order by the ton or by the yard once you have your number.

5/8 minus is the local surfacing course most drives here finish with.

Sit in the Puget Sound lowland and the ground under your job tells you what to order. Rain perches on dense till and sits close to the surface all winter.

Washed stone is how you move that water sideways.

Materials for Lake Stevens Projects

Start with the washed side, because perched water on till is the problem you are actually solving. Drain rock, also called 7/8 clean, has no fines left in it, so it keeps open voids for footing drains, French drains and curtain drains.

Order it for infiltration trenches and downspout runs where you want water gone, not stored.

Drywells and downspout runs take a coarser open stone. #4 Crushed Stone is the size to ask for where a drywell has to take a season of roof water.

For pipe surround, trench backfill and under-slab drainage, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed counterpart to a minus product and drains rather than compacts.

Then the minus products, which pack instead of drain. 5/8 minus, also called crushed surfacing top course or CSTC, is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it packs hard and sheds water off the surface.

It is the surfacing course for drives, parking pads and shed slabs. Link it as 5/8 Minus.

Under that, 1 1/4 minus, also called crushed surfacing base course or CSBC, carries the load. Larger top size and fewer fines, so it stays workable on soft wet ground.

Order it as 1 1/4 Minus and cap it with 5/8 minus.

For bedding and joints, crusher dust, also called 3/8 minus or screenings, compacts tight under pavers and flagstone. Stone Screenings fill joints and set beds.

Where you want fines-free stone in a drain run or joint instead, 3/8" Crushed Stone does that job.

Delivery to Lake Stevens and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site.

That is the whole of it, so have the spot clear before the truck arrives.

Delivery covers Lake Stevens and the rest of Snohomish County, including Everett, Marysville, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mukilteo. Bulk loads for a driveway build, a drain run or a raised bed all arrive the same way.

Size the load with the calculator on the product page before you check out. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

Ground and Conditions in Lake Stevens

Timing drives everything here. 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, paving and paver work gets scheduled for the dry months.

Glacial ground underlies this part of the Puget Sound lowland. A dense till cap, its lower part hard enough that crews call it hardpan, sits over sand.

Rain soaks the loose upper soil, hits the till and stops, so perched water sits close to the surface all winter instead of draining away.

That is why a footing drain with washed drain rock does so much of the work on a Lake Stevens job. Anything built on till needs the water taken sideways to daylight.

Winter rain perching where sand meets clay is also what undercuts cut slopes and fill on a smaller scale, so keep the grade covered through the wet months.

Frost is mild here, with 12 inches published at Lake Stevens. It is saturation rather than frost that softens a base, and a drive that was firm in August can rut in February.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Lake Stevens?

Two courses work well on the ground here. Put 1 1/4 minus, the crushed surfacing base course, down first because it carries load and stays workable on soft wet ground.

Cap it with 5/8 minus, the local crushed surfacing top course, which packs hard and sheds water off the surface. On a wet site, run a drain alongside the drive in washed stone.
