Bulk Gravel Delivery to Lind, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lind, WA, and the material a job starts with is usually 5/8 minus. It is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Across the Columbia Basin, Yakima Valley and the channeled scablands, windblown silt sits over basalt and sheds a cloudburst rather than absorbing it. A drive or pad here needs a surfacing course that knits together.

Ground and Conditions in Lind

This is dry country that gets too much water at once. Parts of the basin take only seven to nine inches of rain a year, so the ground stays loose, and a thunderstorm or a rapid thaw runs off instead of soaking in.

A thin base fails at the edges first. Runoff cuts rills and gullies in bare silt, and a drive with no structural course underneath starts to rut and pothole where the water crosses it.

The fix is a base that carries load under a top course that sheds water. That is 1 1/4 minus, also called crushed surfacing base course or CSBC, placed below a 5/8 minus surface.

1 1/4 minus has a larger top size and fewer fines than 5/8 minus, so it stays workable on soft wet ground and holds up under a load.

Timing matters as much as material. Eastern Washington's wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30, and once snow falls or the ground freezes, placing and compacting base material stops being practical.

Winters here are cold and dry, and the ground freezes properly, unlike west of the Cascades. Frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for, and the county or city building department sets the footing depth figure.

Materials for Lind Projects

Fines and screenings do the detail work on paths and walkways. These are minus products, so they compact rather than drain, and that is exactly what a firm walking surface needs.

1/4 minus, also called quarter minus or pathway gravel, is the fine end of the minus range. It packs down tight underfoot for garden paths, side yards and firm walking surfaces.

Crusher dust, also called 3/8 minus or screenings, is the setting material. It beds pavers and flagstone, fills joints and compacts into a stable setting bed.

Where a washed, fines-free stone is wanted instead of a minus, 3/8 clean fits paver joints and permeable paver setting beds. It is the clean counterpart to a minus product, so it drains instead of compacting.

For the structural course under a drive or pad, 1 1/4 minus carries the load. For drainage, drain rock, also called 7/8 clean or washed rock, keeps its voids in a footing drain or infiltration trench.
