Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Deadwood, OR

Oregon Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Deadwood, OR to contractors building access roads and to homeowners patching a path or a drive. Both buyers end up weighing the same question: which material fits the job in front of them.

Start with 3/4 minus, the standard base here, and think about how wet the ground stays through the winter before you settle on anything.

Ground and Conditions in Deadwood

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, a base that is too thin shows itself first at the edges. The material ravels outward, the surface ruts under a wheel, and the whole layer starts pumping muddy water after a wet stretch.

The fix is a graded, compacting base with clean drainage stone beside it, not a thinner layer of the same thing.

This part of the state takes 60 to 120 inches of rain a year, most of it between November and March. Ground on the slopes and in the low spots stays saturated for months at a time.

That is why drainage matters more here than frost. The Pacific keeps winters mild, so it is saturation rather than freezing that moves a driveway around.

Base and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn. Once October arrives, bare ground has to be covered quickly or it turns to mud.

Materials for Deadwood Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways, where a coarse base rock would be uncomfortable underfoot.

1/4 Minus, also called quarter minus, is the fines product for bedding under pavers and flagstone and for topping a compacted base. On a garden path it makes a surface that stays put and walks smoothly.

Walkway Gravel is the other half of that decision, a finer walkable surface for paths that see regular foot traffic.

Underneath either one, 3/4 Minus is the base that compacts and locks up. It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, and it carries driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases.

Where water has to move instead of sit, Drain Rock is washed and open for French drains, footing drains and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone has the fines screened out, so it suits drainage trenches and retaining wall backfill.

For decorative beds and borders, Willamette River Rock is rounded water-worn stone rather than crushed quarry rock. Large River Rock handles dry creek beds heavier bank work where small stone would wash out.

Planting areas usually need Top Soil for lawns and finish grading, or Garden Soil for raised beds where the native ground is too tight to plant into.

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck then tips the load in one pile on your site. The driver does not spread it, so have the spot clear before the truck arrives.

Oregon Rock Supply delivers across Lane County, including Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Florence and Junction City.

Questions About Ordering and Base Work

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear of vehicles, tools and low overhead lines, and make sure the ground is firm enough to take a loaded truck. The load is tipped in one pile, so clear the area you want it in.

If the access is tight or the ground is soft, sort that out before the delivery date rather than after.

What is the best base under pavers in Deadwood?

3/4 minus is the base to lock up under pavers, compacted so it holds its shape before bedding goes on. Over it, 1/4 minus beds the pavers and fills the joints.

In this part of the state, where ground stays saturated for months, that pair matters more than thickness alone, because a base that will not drain will not stay flat.
