Base, Drainage and Sand Materials for Beaverton Jobs

3/4 Minus is the common choice for compacted driveway base because the fines lock the material together. It is also known as 3/4 inch minus, dense grade or crushed base. Use 1/4 Minus for a tighter finished surface on paths and patios, and use Drain Rock where water needs open spaces to move through the stone.

Measure length by width for the project area, then choose a compacted depth before calculating quantity. Driveways need enough base to carry traffic, while a path or paver bed calls for a flatter, carefully graded surface. Place base in lifts and compact each lift before adding the next one.

Ground, Frost and Drainage Planning in Washington County

Oregon uses a 12 inch frost-depth guide statewide. Confirm frost requirements with the local building department before building a shed base, footing or other structure. For a gravel driveway, a 4 to 6 inch compacted base is a practical starting range for light use, while heavier traffic and weak subgrade call for more depth.

Strip soft material before placing stone, shape the subgrade for runoff, and keep the finished drive above surrounding ground where the site allows. A firm base depends on compaction as much as stone depth. 3/4 Minus works well for this layer because the blend of larger pieces and fines compacts into a dense surface.

Oregon drainage planning also needs attention to wet clay conditions. In areas where clay holds water through the wet season, a driveway base needs a route for water to leave rather than trapping it below the driving surface. Drain Rock, also called 3/4 clean or 1 1/2 clean, fits around drain pipe and in stone-filled trenches because it leaves open voids for water movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Beaverton, OR

What should go around a French drain or downspout outlet in Washington County?

Use Drain Rock around perforated drain pipe and at downspout outlet areas where water needs to pass through the stone. Wrap the trench with suitable filter fabric where soil fines could move into the rock. Keep the outlet clear and grade the surrounding ground so water moves away from the work area.

How does Oregon's 12 inch frost guide affect a gravel driveway base?

The 12 inch figure is a statewide guide, not a site-specific design rule. Confirm local requirements with the building department, then build the driveway base for the expected traffic and soil condition. A 4 to 6 inch compacted layer suits many light-use drives, while soft ground and heavier vehicles require added depth and careful subgrade preparation.

Is 3/4 Minus the right base under pavers or a shed?

3/4 Minus is the local name for dense graded base, also called crushed base or 3/4 inch minus. It compacts into a stable layer under pavers and shed pads when placed in lifts over a prepared subgrade. Finish the top surface flat and compact before adding bedding sand, pavers or the shed structure.
