3/4 Clean, Stone and Soil Delivery in Naches, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Naches, WA, with bulk loads sold by the ton. The state default here is 5/8 minus, also called crushed surfacing top course.

It is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

That makes it the surfacing course for driveways, parking pads and shed slabs in Yakima County.

Materials for Naches Projects

Water is the driver on most sites around here. Washed stone has the fines taken out, so it keeps open voids and lets water move instead of holding it.

That is what footing drains, French drains, curtain drains and drywells are built from.

Drain Rock, sold locally as 7/8 clean, is the washed drainage stone for those trenches. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the clean counterpart to a minus product, so it drains rather than compacts, which suits trench backfill, pipe surround and under-slab drainage.

Downspout runs and drywells take open stone that will not seal up. #4 Crushed Stone, often called drywell rock, is the larger clean size for heavy drainage where a smaller stone would not stay open.

For the surfaces themselves, 5/8 Minus is the top course, and 1 1/4 Minus is the structural course placed below it on soft or wet ground. Walkway Gravel, or 1/4 minus, packs tight underfoot on garden paths and side yards.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand goes into concrete mixes, paver setting beds and pipe bedding.

Top Soil is screened and blended for lawn repair, new turf and grading out settlement.

Delivery to Naches and the Surrounding Area

You order online. Quantities are sold by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator if you want to size a load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site. That covers Naches and the rest of Yakima County, including Yakima, Selah, Toppenish, Sunnyside and Grandview.

Bulk material arrives as one tipped pile, so it helps to have the drop spot clear before the truck reaches you.

Ground and Conditions in Naches

This part of the state runs a long working season either side of a hard winter. The wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30.

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

So timing matters. A drive or pad that needs a compacted granular course is work for the dry months, and a drainage run can go in later if the ground is still open.

The ground across the Columbia Basin, Yakima Valley and the channeled scablands is windblown loess over basalt. Where the Ice Age floods ran, the loess was stripped off and the basalt left bare, and the floods dumped sand and gravel bars in the coulees and along the rivers.

Rainfall is scarce, and when a thunderstorm or a rapid thaw does arrive the silt sheds water rather than absorbing it. Where flood gravel sits at the surface, water disappears straight down instead.

Wind off bare, dry silt moves soil, and short violent runoff cuts rills and gullies when a cloudburst lands on ground with no cover. Irrigation runoff moves soil too.

Cold, dry winters and hot dry summers mean the ground freezes properly here, unlike west of the Cascades, and frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for. Frost depth is set by the county or city building department and runs deeper with elevation.

Questions About Gravel in Naches

Do you deliver 5/8 minus to Naches, WA?

Yes. Washington Rock Supply delivers bulk 5/8 minus to Naches and the rest of Yakima County.

It is the state surfacing course, crushed rock with the fines left in, so it packs hard and sheds water. Order by the ton or the yard, size the load with the calculator on the product page, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Naches?

Use 5/8 minus as the top course. It packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up, which suits a driveway surface.

On soft or wet ground, place 1 1/4 Minus below it as the structural course, since it has a larger top size and fewer fines and stays workable. Both are sold by the ton.
