Fill and Base Material Delivered in Sammamish, WA

Washington Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sammamish, WA, from a single load of fill to a full drive build. The ground here is glacial: a dense till cap over sand and silt.

That till holds water up near the surface all winter, so an under-built base softens fast. 5/8 minus, the local crushed surfacing top course, packs hard and sheds that water instead of soaking it up.

Delivery to Sammamish and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. Sammamish sits in King County, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area.

Coverage also reaches Seattle, Bellevue, Kent, Renton and Federal Way. Have the drop spot clear and reachable so the truck can tip without obstruction.

Materials for Sammamish Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. Low spots and over-excavations get brought up before any granular course goes down.

Fill Dirt is common borrow, unscreened, and it raises grade and backfills over-excavations. It is not structural, so a granular course belongs above it.

1 1/4 Minus is the crushed surfacing base course, or CSBC. It carries load under a drive, parking pad or slab, and stays workable on soft wet ground.

5/8 Minus is the crushed surfacing top course, or CSTC. It is the Washington default surfacing course for driveways, parking pads and shed slabs, with the fines left in so it packs hard.

For a patio, pavers bed on Stone Screenings, also called crusher dust or 3/8 minus. It compacts rather than drains, which is what a setting bed needs.

For a drain, Drain Rock is washed 7/8 clean with no fines. It keeps its voids in a footing drain or French drain where perched water sits on till.

Ground and Conditions in Sammamish

Across the Puget Sound lowland, glacial ground left by the Vashon ice sheet sets the rules. A dense till cap sits over advance outwash sand, with silt and clay below that.

Rain soaks the loose upper soil, reaches the till and stops. The water table then sits close to the surface all winter instead of draining away.

That perched water is why a base that looked firm in August can rut by February. It is saturation, not frost, that softens a base here, so water has to be taken sideways to daylight.

Footing drains and washed drain rock do much of that work. On cut slopes and fill, the same perched water undercuts the face, which is what puts slopes in this region on the landslide maps.

The wet season runs October through April. Exposed soil has to be stabilized within two days in that window, against seven days in summer, so base and paver work is scheduled for the dry months.

Questions About Material in Sammamish

What is the best base under pavers in Sammamish?

Start with 1 1/4 Minus as the structural base, the crushed surfacing base course. Bed the pavers on Stone Screenings, also called crusher dust, which compacts rather than drains.

On this glacial till, take the perched water sideways with Drain Rock before the base goes in, so saturation does not soften what you built.
