Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Boring, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Boring, OR, with bulk loads of 3/4 minus, washed stone, sand and soil. The ground here is deep silt and clay in the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, so what you put under a drive matters as much as what you put on top.

Materials for Boring Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Boring project usually starts, and 3/4 minus is the material for it. It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under a driveway, a parking pad, a shop floor or a shed base.

Order 3/4 Minus when you need a surface that stays put under tires and feet. For topping an existing drive, Driveway Gravel gives you a compactable minus rock rather than a clean stone that rolls.

Where the ground is soft or low, Quarry Run builds up grade before a graded base course goes on. It is raw rock straight from the pit face, not crushed material, so it is a grade builder rather than a finished surface.

Drainage is the other half of the work. Drain Rock is washed and open, so water moves through it instead of sitting, which suits French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock with the fines screened out, used for drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill and construction entrances.

For bedding and fine grading, 1/4 Minus beds pavers and flagstone and tops a compacted base. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, raised beds and planting areas where the native silt is too tight to plant into.

Ground and Conditions in Boring

This part of Oregon gets 35 to 45 inches of rain a year, almost all of it between November and March. It falls onto tight silt and clay that sheds water slowly, and the lowlands carry a seasonal high water table.

That combination is why a fines-bearing base like 3/4 minus compacts well in dry conditions and why drainage stone earns its place on the same site. Water that cannot move down through silt needs somewhere open to go.

Winter rain also runs off bare silt and scours banks and cut slopes, which is where riprap and larger open stone come in. Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and requires bare ground stabilized within two days, against seven days from May 1 to September 30.

Base and paving work concentrates in the dry season for that reason. Frost depth in the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin is 12 inches, the Oregon figure below about 2,500 feet, and the county sets it.

Frost heave is a minor problem here next to winter saturation and soft subgrade.
