Materials for Poulsbo Projects

Start with the project, not the stone. Beds, dry creek beds and ground cover take rounded and washed material.

Drives, pads and drains take crushed rock.

Beds, dry creek beds and ground cover

Washington River Rock is the rounded stone for dry creek beds, downspout splash pads and planting beds. It also armours a rain garden edge.

Large River Rock runs 2 to 8 inches. Use it on swale and ditch armour, bank toes and culvert outfalls where winter water would carry smaller stone away.

Natural Pea Gravel is washed and rounded, so it will not compact. It suits play areas, dog runs and pipe bedding, and it should be edged where it can wander.

Beauty bark, listed here as Shredded Mulch, covers planting beds, tree rings and slopes. It is the landscape bark Washington yards sell under that trade name.

Drives, drains and the base under them

5/8 Minus is crushed surfacing top course, CSTC. Fines stay in, so it packs hard and sheds water.

It tops a drive, a parking pad or a shed slab.

1 1/4 Minus, or crushed surfacing base course, goes below that top course. It carries load and stays workable on soft wet ground.

Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean, is washed with no fines. It keeps its voids in footing drains and French drains where perched water sits on till.

Ground and Conditions in Poulsbo

The ground here is glacial, laid down by the Vashon ice sheet. A dense till cap sits over advance outwash sand, with silt and clay below.

That till is the reason water does not leave. It stops at the dense layer and sits there through the winter, which is why a footing drain and washed stone do so much of the work.

The same perched water undercuts cut slopes and fill, and winter rain perching where outwash sand meets clay below is what puts bluffs on the landslide maps.

The wet season runs October through April, and exposed soil must be stabilized within two days in that window. Schedule base, paving and paver work for the dry months.

Winters are mild and wet, so it is saturation rather than frost that softens a base. A drive firm in August can rut in February.
