Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Dairy, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dairy, OR for two kinds of buyers: contractors building pads and drives, and homeowners fixing a muddy lane or a worn parking spot.

Most of that work starts with 3/4 minus, the crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines that compacts and locks up. On Basin and Range, Klamath and Owyhee Country ground, that locked surface is what keeps a drive from rutting.

Materials for Dairy Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is the core of what a Dairy project needs. The material that carries it is 3/4 minus, also called 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock.

It is crushed rock graded 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.

Where the ground is soft or low, Quarry Run goes down first. Quarry run is raw rock straight from the pit face, not crushed material, and it builds up grade before a graded base course goes on top.

For the drive surface itself, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. On most Oregon drives that means a minus rock that compacts rather than a clean rock that rolls underfoot.

Water is the other half of the job. Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean or washed drain rock, is washed and open so water moves through it instead of sitting.

It suits French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Where you want angular stone with the fines screened out, 3/4" Crushed Stone works in drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill and construction entrances. It bridges soft wet ground instead of sinking into it.

Sand and soil round out the list. Washed Sand beds pipe and levels under flatwork, washed so it drains.

Top Soil is screened for lawns and finish grading, and Garden Soil fills raised beds where native ground is too tight to plant into.

Ground and Conditions in Dairy

Across the Basin and Range, Klamath and Owyhee Country, the ground is fault-block basins filled with lake-bed silt, alkali flats and playa ground, with basalt rims standing above them. Old lake sediments sit under the Klamath Basin.

Precipitation here runs under 15 inches a year, but the basins are closed and have nowhere to send water. Playa and alkali ground stays soft and holds surface water after snowmelt.

That changes what a base has to do. Soft ground under a drive or pad will not hold a load, so quarry run or fill dirt goes down first to raise grade, then 3/4 minus compacts on top of it.

Wind moves bare playa and alkali ground, and sheet flow comes off the rims into the basins during snowmelt and summer storms. Drain rock and clean open stone give that water a path away from the base instead of through it.

The working season is short, bounded by hard frost at both ends. Frozen ground and soft spring basins both stop compaction, so timing matters as much as material.

Klamath County publishes a frost depth of 24 inches below grade for foundation design, matching the Oregon step for 4,000 feet and above. That figure is a footing depth set by the building official, not a target for a gravel base.
