Bulk Gravel Delivery to Lincoln, WA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Lincoln, WA by the ton or the yard. Washington Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Lincoln County, and 5/8 minus is the surfacing course most drives and pads here start from.

Across the Columbia Basin, Yakima Valley and the channeled scablands, the ground runs from deep windblown silt to bare basalt where the old floods stripped it clean.

Ground and Conditions in Lincoln

A thin base course fails first at the edges. Loess sheds water instead of absorbing it, so runoff finds the shoulder and cuts.

Fix it with a structural course that carries load, then a surfacing course on top. That is why 1 1/4 minus goes down before 5/8 minus, not instead of it.

Wind off bare silt moves soil, and a cloudburst on uncovered ground cuts rills fast. The wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30 in eastern Washington.

Once snow falls or the ground freezes, placing and compacting base material stops being practical.

Ground freezes properly on this side of the state, and frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for. Frost depth figures are set by the county or city building department and run deeper with elevation.

Materials for Lincoln Projects

Fines and screenings do the detail work on paths and walkways here. A minus product keeps its crusher fines, so it packs hard underfoot instead of scattering.

Walkway Gravel, sold as 1/4 minus or quarter minus, is the fine end of that range. It goes down on garden paths and side yards for a firm walking surface.

Stone Screenings, also called crusher dust or 3/8 minus, compacts rather than drains. Use it to bed pavers and flagstone and to fill joints.

5/8 Minus is the Washington default surfacing course, known on order sheets as CSTC. Crushed rock with the fines left in, it packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Driveways, parking pads, shed and shop slabs all take it.

1 1/4 Minus, or CSBC, is the structural course below that top course. Larger top size and fewer fines let it carry load on soft, wet ground.

Drain Rock, sold as 7/8 clean or washed rock, is washed with no fines, so it keeps its voids where water sits.

For rounded stone, Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and planting beds, and Washington River Rock suits dry creek beds and downspout splash pads. Rounded stone will not lock together, so edge it where it can wander.

Questions About Gravel in Lincoln

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure a loaded dump truck can reach it and leave. The driver tips everything in one pile, so pick a spot that will not block a driveway, gate or parked equipment.

Soft ground after rain or a thaw is worth checking first, since a heavy truck can sink in loose silt.

What is the best base under pavers in Lincoln?

Bed the pavers in crusher dust, also called stone screenings or 3/8 minus. It is a minus product, so it compacts rather than drains and holds a setting bed.

Below that, 1 1/4 minus carries the load. Where water needs to move, use washed stone instead and keep the fines out of the drainage layer.
