Bulk Material Delivery in Canyon City, OR

Oregon Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Canyon City, OR to your site by the ton. Spring snowmelt is the main event across the Blue Mountains and Wallowas, and it scours stream banks and culverts on its way down.

That is why coarse stone leads here. Order 3/4 minus for the compacted base under a drive or shop floor, and step up to riprap where water needs to be slowed instead of carried.

Materials for Canyon City Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with stone big enough to stay put when runoff hits it. Match the size to the job, then work down to the finer material that finishes it.

Coarse stone for banks and slopes

Riprap is the armor for stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes. Oregon riprap is specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, so the class tells you the stone size the job calls for.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular rock for track beds, heavy hard standing and severe drainage where a large open stone is wanted. #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances, trench bottoms and heavy drainage.

Oregon yards more often sell this size as 1 1/2 clean.

Drainage stone

Drain Rock is washed and open, so water moves through it instead of sitting. It goes into French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock with the fines screened out, for drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill and bridging soft wet ground. 3/8" Crushed Stone is the smaller version for pipe bedding and tight drainage work.

Base, bedding and finish

3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases. The rock is graded 3/4 inch down to fines so it compacts and locks up.

1/4 Minus beds pavers and flagstone, tops a compacted base and fine grades paths. Quarry Run is raw rock straight from the pit face, used to build up soft ground and raise grade before a graded base goes on top.

Washed Sand beds pipe, levels under slabs and flatwork, and mixes into concrete. It is washed so it drains rather than holding water.

Ground and Conditions in Canyon City

The working season between snowmelt and the first hard frosts is short, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Time a delivery to ground that is still workable.

Snowmelt also drives the erosion here, scouring stream banks and culverts and running off steep forest roads and bare slopes after wildfire. Arm those spots with coarse stone before the melt starts.

Frost depth is set by the county, and the figure belongs to the elevation it was written for. Check with the county for the depth that applies to your site.

Questions from Canyon City Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Canyon City?

Use washed, open stone. Drain Rock handles French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs because water passes through it instead of sitting.

For drainage trenches and retaining wall backfill, 3/4" Crushed Stone works well. Keep fines out of the trench, since a minus rock compacts and holds water rather than letting it move.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot for the pile and room for a dump truck to reach it. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick the spot where you want the material to sit.

Have your quantity settled and your delivery date chosen at checkout before the truck rolls.
