Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ravensdale, WA

Washington Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ravensdale, WA to your gate, with 5/8 minus as the surfacing course most drives here start from. That crushed rock packs hard because the fines stay in, so it sheds the rain that sits on this ground all winter instead of soaking it up.

Topsoil, garden soil and fill lead what we send to Ravensdale, and crushed stone, washed stone and sand follow close behind for beds, paths and drainage.

Materials for Ravensdale Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here: fill dirt raises grade and backfills over-excavations before any granular course goes down. Washington quarries sell the equivalent roadway item as common borrow, and it is a different material from granular structural fill.

Screened topsoil and garden soil finish the job. Yards in this state screen and blend topsoil rather than selling native soil straight, so you can grade out settlement or lay a new lawn on a material that spreads evenly.

Top Soil takes lawn repair and turf; Garden Soil blends screened soil with compost for raised beds. Fill Dirt does the heavy lifting underneath.

Base comes next. 5/8 Minus is the Washington default surfacing course, and 1 1/4 Minus sits below it as the structural course on soft, wet ground.

Both are minus products, meaning the crusher fines stay in so they compact and hold.

Washed stone does the opposite: the fines are gone, so it drains. Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean, keeps its voids in footing drains and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone backfills trenches and surrounds pipe.

For firm walking surfaces, Walkway Gravel packs tight underfoot at the fine end of the minus range. Stone Screenings, or crusher dust, beds pavers and fills joints.

Rounded and decorative stone rounds out an order. Washington River Rock lines dry creek beds and downspout splash pads, and Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and planting beds.

Washed Sand and Mason Sand cover concrete mixes, mortar and paver bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Ravensdale

Across the Puget Sound lowland, the ground is glacial: a dense till cap, its lower part hard enough that crews call it hardpan, over sand, with silt and clay beneath. Rain soaks the loose upper soil, hits the till and stops, so the water table sits close to the surface all winter.

That perched water is the condition to design around. Anything built on till needs the water taken sideways to daylight, which is why footing drains and washed drain rock do so much of the work here.

King County publishes a frost depth of 18 inches, a footing figure the building official sets. The ground seldom freezes deep in this part of the state, so it is saturation rather than frost that softens a base.

A drive firm in August can rut in February.

The wet season runs October through April. Under the state stormwater manual for western Washington, exposed soil must be stabilized within two days in that window against seven in summer, so base, paving and paver work gets scheduled for the dry months.

Questions About Ordering in Ravensdale

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Ravensdale?

Yes. Every product on the site is ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose the quantity as you check out.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load from your own numbers first. Once the order is placed, a dump truck delivers to your site and tips the material in one pile.

What stone should I use for drainage in Ravensdale?

Use a washed, fines-free stone, because perched water on the till needs a layer that keeps its voids. Drain Rock, also called 7/8 clean, is the choice for footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches.

For trench backfill and pipe surround, 3/4" Crushed Stone drains rather than compacts. Minus products are the wrong pick here, since the fines pack tight and hold water.
