Bulk Gravel Delivery to Mead, WA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Mead, WA online, by the ton or by the yard, and Washington Rock Supply sends a dump truck to your site. Start with 5/8 minus, the crushed surfacing top course this market calls CSTC.

It packs hard because the crusher fines stay in the mix.

This corner of the Spokane and the Selkirk foothills sits on Ice Age flood gravel: cobbles, gravel and sand laid down by the Missoula floods. That ground drains fast, and it decides what you put on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Mead

Across the Spokane and the Selkirk foothills, the valley gravel is open enough that water moves through the aquifer below it quickly. Whatever sits on the surface works its way down, and the aquifer carries a federal sole source designation.

Thin base shows up as rutting and potholes after a spring thaw. The fix is a structural course underneath, not more fines on top.

Winter freezes the ground to depth here, then releases it in a real thaw. Repeated freeze-thaw works on any unbound surface that was never built to take it.

Spokane County sets footing depth for structures well below the western Washington figure. The Spokane Municipal Code design criteria list a frost depth of 24 inches, a figure that belongs to the City of Spokane rather than to Mead.

Erosion runs on the same clock. Runoff cuts the loess on the hills, gullies out in draws and road ditches during the spring thaw, and carries sediment onto recharge ground when a site is left open.

Eastern Washington's wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30.

Materials for Mead Projects

Paths and walkways are where the fine end of the minus range earns its place. These materials pack tight underfoot and stay put on a side yard or a garden path.

Walkway Gravel, sold locally as 1/4 minus or quarter minus, is the fine end of the minus range. It packs down tight on garden paths, side yards and firm walking surfaces.

Stone Screenings, or crusher dust, is 3/8 minus. Use it for paver and flagstone bedding, joint filling and setting beds, because a minus product compacts instead of draining.

For the structural course under a path, driveway or parking pad, use 1 1/4 Minus, the crushed surfacing base course known here as CSBC. Larger top size and fewer fines than 5/8 minus, so it carries load and stays workable on soft wet ground.

Top the drive with 5/8 Minus. It is the Washington default surfacing course for driveways, parking pads and shed or shop slabs.

Where a washed, fines-free stone is wanted instead of a minus, use Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean. It keeps its voids in footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches where a perched water table sits on till.

Round out a bed or a dry creek with Washington River Rock. Rounded stone suits downspout splash pads, planting beds and rain garden armour in yards that file it under round rock.

Delivery to Mead and the Surrounding Area

Choose between tons and yards when you order, then size the load with the calculator on each product page. Order online and pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on your site. Bulk deliveries reach Mead and the rest of Spokane County, including Spokane, Cheney, Liberty Lake, Airway Heights and Medical Lake.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear and reachable when the truck pulls in. The driver tips the load in one pile, so the ground under that spot should be firm enough to hold it and free of overhead wires or low branches.

Mark the spot ahead of time and keep vehicles and equipment out of the way. Confirm your delivery date at checkout so the truck shows up on the day you planned for.

What is the best base under pavers in Mead?

Use 1 1/4 minus as the structural course, then bed the pavers in crusher dust. The 1 1/4 minus carries load and stays workable on the soft wet ground this region gets.

Stone Screenings, sold as 3/8 minus, compacts rather than drains, which is what a setting bed needs. Where a washed, fines-free layer is wanted instead, 3/8 clean is the alternative.
