3/8 Clean for Pathways in Odessa, WA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Odessa, WA online, by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site. Washington Rock Supply serves Lincoln County with bulk rock, sand and soil.

Start with 5/8 minus for drives and pads. It packs hard because the crusher fines stay in, so it sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Across the Columbia Basin, windblown loess sits deep and sheds rain fast, which shapes what you put down.

Ground and Conditions in Odessa

This part of the state runs dry and loose, then gets too much water at once. Silt sheds a cloudburst rather than absorbing it, and short violent runoff cuts rills and gullies where ground sits bare.

Wind off dry silt moves soil too.

A thin base fails first at the edges, where water gets under the crust and the surface breaks up. Build the structural course deep enough to carry the load and let the top course do the wearing.

Place 1 1/4 minus, the crushed surfacing base course, under a 5/8 minus top. The larger top size and fewer fines keep it workable on soft, wet ground.

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.

Frost depth figures are set by the county or city building department, and they run deeper with elevation.

The wet weather season for erosion control in eastern Washington runs October 1 through June 30. Once snow falls or the ground freezes, placing and compacting base material stops being practical, so plan around that window.

Materials for Odessa Projects

Paths and walkways come down to the fines end of the range. Those products pack tight underfoot instead of staying loose, which is what a walking surface needs.

Use 1/4 minus, sold locally as quarter minus or pathway gravel, for garden paths, side yards and firm walking surfaces. It compacts down tight and holds a clean edge.

Use Stone Screenings, called crusher dust or 3/8 minus, for paver and flagstone bedding, joint filling and setting beds. It is a minus product, so it compacts rather than drains.

Where a washed, fines-free stone is wanted instead, use 3/8" Crushed Stone for paver joints and small drain runs. The fines are taken out, so it drains.

For the base under a drive, parking pad or slab, use 1 1/4 Minus, the crushed surfacing base course. It carries load and stays workable on soft ground.

Top the drive with 5/8 Minus, the crushed surfacing top course. It is the Washington default surfacing course, and it packs hard with the fines left in.

For footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches, use Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean or washed rock. It keeps its voids where water perches.
