If you are building a drive, a parking pad or a shop floor, the material to name is 3/4 minus. It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up instead of rolling underfoot.
Materials Delivered in Curry County
Order by the job. A drive, a patio and a drain each want a different rock, and the local names below are the ones to use.
3/4 minus is the standard Oregon base.
Oregon specifies base material by top size with a minus notation, and the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction set dense-graded base aggregate in Section 02630.10 at sizes of 2 1/2 inch - 0, 2 inch - 0, 1 1/2 inch - 0, 1 inch - 0 and 3/4 inch - 0.
Section 00641.10 states that base aggregate is dense-graded unless otherwise specified. Section 02630.11 covers open-graded aggregate, the clean, fines-free material.
That is the pair to keep straight: minus under a drive, clean in a drain.
Quarry run, also called pit run, is raw rock straight from the pit or quarry face. It is not crushed material, and it is used to build up soft ground and raise grade before a graded base course goes on top.
For a patio or a path, 1/4 minus beds pavers and flagstone, and Natural Pea Gravel covers paths, play areas and dog runs where a smooth rounded stone is wanted. River rock and large river rock handle decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
Ground Conditions Across Curry County
Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, the ground runs to basalt headlands and uplifted marine sandstone and siltstone under the hills. Dune sand and soft bluff material sit along the shore, with deep weathered soil on the forested slopes.
That mix matters because under-built ground moves. Soft bluff material and loose dune sand will not hold a base that was laid too thin, and a drive over either one will rut and pump.
Water is the other half of it. This part of the state takes 60 to 120 inches of rain a year, most of it between November and March, falling on steep slopes and low ground that stay saturated for months.
So drainage is not optional here. Drain rock and 3/4 clean are the open materials that let water pass, and they belong in footing drains, curtain drains and downspout runs rather than under a compacted surface.
Winter storms bring surge on beaches and sea cliffs, slides and slumps in the bluffs, and flooding of low ground. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that runoff.
The Pacific keeps winters mild and freezes short, so it is months of saturation rather than frost that moves material here. Base, drive and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn.
From October into April, sites stay wet and bare ground has to be covered quickly.

Choosing the Right Material
Coos County sits in the Oregon Coast region, and its ground region is the same as Curry County's: basalt headlands and uplifted marine sandstone and siltstone under the hills, dune sand and soft bluff material along the shore, and deep weathered soil on the forested slopes.
Because the ground is the same, the material choices are the same. A compacted 3/4 minus base for drives and pads, open drain rock and 3/4 clean where water has to move, and riprap where a slope or a bank needs armoring.

For most drives, pads and shop floors in Curry County, 3/4 minus is the base to start with, and it compacts into a surface that holds. Add drain rock or 3/4 clean where water needs to move, and riprap where a bank needs protection.
