Railroad Ballast and Bulk Aggregates for Palisades, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Palisades, WA. Start with 5/8 minus for a drive, a parking pad or a shed slab.

Across the Columbia Basin, Yakima Valley and the channeled scablands, water arrives all at once or not at all. Coarse stone moves it.

Materials for Palisades Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with size. Bigger stone stays put when runoff comes fast off bare silt.

Riprap is the heaviest answer.

Use RipRap on streambanks, culvert outfalls and cut slopes. Pair it with Large River Rock for swale and ditch armour and bank toes.

Below the armour, Drain Rock keeps its voids where water sits perched. It is washed, so it drains instead of sealing.

Where a slope needs to shed water and still carry a load, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed counterpart to a minus product.

Then the working surfaces. 5/8 Minus leaves the fines in, so it packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up.

Under it, 1 1/4 Minus carries load on soft, wet ground. It is the structural course below a 5/8 minus top.

Smaller work takes finer stone. Stone Screenings beds pavers and flagstone and compacts rather than drains.

Ground and Conditions in Palisades

This part of the state works a long season either side of a hard winter. Eastern Washington's 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. Time a delivery around that.

The ground here is windblown loess over Columbia River basalt. Where the Ice Age floods ran, the loess was stripped off and the basalt left bare.

Those floods dumped sand and gravel bars in the coulees and along the rivers. Water disappears straight down where that gravel sits at the surface.

Elsewhere the silt sits deep and sheds water rather than absorbing it. A cloudburst or a thaw cuts rills and gullies fast, and wind off bare dry silt moves soil too.

Frost heave in an unbound base is something to design for. Grant County lists a frost depth of 18 inches, and the county or city building department sets the figure for your footing.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Palisades

What stone should I use for drainage in Palisades?

Match the stone to the water. Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean, is washed with no fines, so it keeps its voids for footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches.

For trench backfill and pipe surround, use 3/4" Crushed Stone. Under-slab drainage and drain fields take the same washed family.

A minus product compacts and holds water, so keep it out of a drainage run.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The driver tips the load in one place and does not spread it, so the ground you want it on should be open and firm enough for a loaded truck.

Order your quantity by the ton or the yard and pick your delivery date at checkout. Have the area ready before the truck reaches the site.
