Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in North Bend, WA

Washington Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in North Bend, WA to contractors building drives and pads and to homeowners patching a worn approach. The material that does the heavy lifting here is 5/8 minus, the crushed surfacing top course that packs hard under a vehicle.

This is thin, stony ground over rock on the slopes, so what you put on top matters as much as what you take out.

Materials for North Bend Projects

Start with the surfacing course. 5/8 minus, also called crushed surfacing top course or CSTC, is crushed rock with the fines left in.

Those fines let it bind and shed water instead of soaking it up, which suits driveways, parking pads and shed slabs.

Under that goes 1 1/4 minus, or crushed surfacing base course. It has a larger top size and fewer fines than 5/8 minus, so it carries load and stays workable on soft, wet ground.

For a long rural approach, driveway gravel is sold as a blend alongside the graded surfacing courses. It suits farm and forest drives and equipment parking.

Where water has to move rather than sit, drain rock, also called 7/8 clean, is washed with no fines. It keeps its voids for footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches.

Walkway Gravel, or 1/4 minus, is the fine end of the minus range. It packs down tight underfoot for garden paths, side yards and firm walking surfaces.

For bedding, crusher dust (3/8 minus, also called screenings) compacts rather than drains, which is what paver and flagstone setting beds and joint filling want. The washed counterpart, 3/4 clean, drains instead, so it suits trench backfill, pipe surround and under-slab drainage.

Sand and soil round out an order. Washed Sand goes into concrete mixes, paver setting beds and pipe bedding, washed so silt is taken out before a wet season of work.

Mason Sand is the mortar, stucco and paver joint sweeping grade. Fill Dirt, or common borrow, raises grade and backfills over-excavations before a granular course goes down.

On the decorative side, Washington River Rock is rounded stone for dry creek beds and downspout splash pads, while Large River Rock arms swales, ditch lines and culvert outfalls where a smaller stone would be carried off. Natural Pea Gravel is washed and rounded for play areas, dog runs and planting beds.

For beds and tree rings, Shredded Mulch is listed under the local trade name beauty bark, and Garden Soil is a screened soil and compost blend for raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in North Bend

Water is the driver across the Cascade Range and the east-slope valleys, and it arrives two different ways. The west slope takes heavy annual rainfall and sheds it fast off steep ground.

The east-slope valleys are dry and get their trouble as snowmelt and cloudburst runoff arriving at once on ground with little cover.

Where that water goes decides what you place. On a slope, runoff scours road shoulders, ditches and culvert outfalls, so drainage stone and armouring matter.

On a flat pad, water that cannot leave sits in the base, and a fines-bearing material will hold it.

That is the minus and clean split in practice. Minus products such as 5/8 minus and 1 1/4 minus compact and hold because the fines are still in them.

Clean or washed products such as drain rock and 3/4 clean drain because the fines were taken out. Pairing the two correctly is what keeps a drive firm through a wet season.

The working window in the mountain valleys runs roughly from late spring to early autumn, later at elevation, because snow closes the high ground. Plan granular work inside that window where you can.

Frost heave in a gravel drive is a high-country and east-slope concern in a way it is not down in the Puget lowland, and footing depth is set by the local building department, so confirm the local figure rather than assuming one.
