Bulk Material Delivery in Roy, WA

Winter rain soaks the loose upper soil, hits the dense till, and stops. The water table sits close to the surface all season.

That is why gravel and aggregate delivery in Roy, WA leans on washed stone.

Washington Rock Supply sells 5/8 minus, drain rock and sand in bulk, delivered across Pierce County. Start with the stone that moves water sideways to daylight.

Materials for Roy Projects

Washed stone takes the water away. Minus products hold a surface together.

Pick the size that matches the job in front of you.

Drain rock, also called 7/8 clean, is washed with the fines taken out. It keeps its voids, so footing drains, French drains and curtain drains keep working where perched water sits on till.

Order it at Drain Rock.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed counterpart to a minus product. It drains instead of compacting, which suits trench backfill, pipe surround, drain fields and under-slab drainage.

Order it at 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Downspout runs and drywells want a clean open stone.

Order it at #4 Crushed Stone.

Where a smaller washed stone is wanted, #8 Crushed Stone, or 3/8 clean, handles permeable paver bedding, joint stone and fine drainage. Order it at #8 Crushed Stone.

Then the minus side of the range. 5/8 minus, also called crushed surfacing top course or CSTC, is crushed rock with the fines left in.

It packs hard and sheds water instead of soaking it up, so it finishes driveways, parking pads and shed slabs. Order it at 5/8 Minus.

Below it sits 1 1/4 Minus, or crushed surfacing base course, CSBC. Larger top size and fewer fines, so it carries load under a drive, parking area or slab.

Order it at 1 1/4 Minus.

Ground and Conditions in Roy

Glacial ground underlies this part of the Puget Sound lowland. A dense till cap sits over advance outwash sand, and below that the silt and clay of the Lawton beds.

The lower part of the till is hard enough that crews call it hardpan.

Perched water is the practical result. Rain reaches the till and stops, so footing drains and washed drain rock do much of the work on a site here.

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 days in summer.

Schedule base, paving and paver work for the dry months, or keep the grade covered.

Winters stay mild and wet. Saturation, not frost, is what softens a base, so a drive that was firm in August can rut in February.

Pierce County publishes a frost depth of 12 inches in its lowlands, and 18 inches in King County. Those are footing depths set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.
