You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck tips your material on site in one pile. Plan for the pile to land where you want it, because the driver does not spread or spot the load.

Materials for Port Hadlock Projects

Much of the work here starts below grade. Thin, stony ground and low, wet corners mean a pad or drive often needs fill before it needs a surface course, and the fill has to be the right material for the job.

Raising Grade and Building Pads

Fill dirt is common borrow: unscreened soil for raising grade, backfilling over-excavations and building up low spots before a granular course goes down. It is not structural fill, so it belongs under the base, not as the base.

Above it, 1 1/4 minus is the structural course. Larger top size and fewer fines than 5/8 minus, so it carries load and stays workable on soft, wet ground.

Cap it with 5/8 Minus, the crushed surfacing top course that packs hard under tires and sheds water. For a long rural approach or equipment parking, Driveway Gravel is sold as a blend alongside the graded surfacing courses.

Drainage and Water

Where water sits, a drainage layer goes under the base. Drain Rock is washed with no fines, so it keeps its voids and lets water move instead of pooling on saturated ground.

For trench backfill, pipe surround and under-slab drainage, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed counterpart to a minus product. It drains rather than compacts.

Pavers, Paths and Beds

Stone Screenings, also called crusher dust, is a minus product for paver and flagstone bedding and joint filling. It compacts rather than drains.

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

Ground and Conditions in Port Hadlock

Across the Olympic Peninsula and the Pacific coast, soil runs thin and stony over uplifted marine rock, with deep organic forest soil in the west-side valleys. Sand, peat and tidal silt sit along the bays.

That matters to a base because organic and peat ground moves under load. An under-built base on ground like that will not hold, no matter what you put on top.

Water is the other driver. This part of the state takes heavy rain, so ground that is already saturated will not hold a base course without a drainage layer under it.

The reliable dry window is short, in mid to late summer. The two-day soil stabilization rule for western Washington runs from October 1 through April 30, which is the practical limit on open grade through the wet season.

Winters stay mild, so temperature rarely stops work. What stops it is how wet the ground is.

Frost depth is set by the county or city building department.
