Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Gates, OR

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Gates, OR? Oregon Rock Supply delivers bulk material to homes and job sites across Marion County.

If you are fixing a muddy drive, 3/4 minus is the base to start with.

This ground is deep silt and clay in the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, and it sheds water slowly all winter. That shapes what you order.

Delivery to Gates and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, and you pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck arrives and tips your load in one pile on site. Bulk delivery covers Gates and the rest of Marion County, including Salem, Woodburn, Silverton, Stayton and Aumsville.

Decide the material and the amount before you order. The truck drops the pile and leaves, so the spot you choose is where the material stays.

Materials for Gates Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work on Gates properties. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all read as clean and finished with the right stone.

Willamette River Rock is rounded, water-worn stone for decorative beds and borders. Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative work where smaller stone would wash out.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is smooth rounded stone for paths, play areas and dog runs. It also works as ground cover in beds where you want an even, walkable surface.

Bark dust is the Pacific Northwest term for shredded fir and hemlock bark, and it goes down for beds, tree rings and weed suppression.

When the job turns to a driveway, a patio or a drain, the pick changes:

Drain rock is washed and open, so water moves through it instead of sitting against your foundation. Keep it in the trench and keep a minus rock on the drive.

Ground and Conditions in Gates

The valley floor here is deep slackwater silt left by the ice-age Missoula floods. In the foothills you get red clay and silty clay loam, and river gravel along the waterways.

That ground takes 35 to 45 inches of rain a year, almost all of it between November and March. Tight silt and clay shed that water slowly, so a base built too thin turns soft and rutted.

Winter rain also runs off bare silt, scours banks and moves soil on steeper slopes. Riprap is specified by class in Oregon, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, for bank and culvert work.

Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and wants bare ground stabilized within two days, against seven days from May 1 to September 30. Base and paving work concentrates in the dry season.
