On the south coast that usually means 3/4 minus for a compacted base, and coarse open stone for the wet ground and steep banks this part of Curry County deals with.

Materials for Gold Beach Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is the work that shapes a lot of ground here. Winter runoff comes off steep ground fast, and it needs somewhere to go that will not wash out.

Riprap is the heavy answer. It is angular rock specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, and it armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes.

See RipRap.

Where you want water to move instead of sit, drain rock is washed and open. It goes into French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

See Drain Rock.

3/4 clean is crushed rock with the fines screened out, so it stays open. Use it in drainage trenches, behind retaining walls, on construction entrances and to bridge soft wet ground.

See 3/4" Crushed Stone.

For a drive or a shed base, you want a minus rock that compacts and locks up. 3/4 minus is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads and shop floors.

See 3/4 Minus.

Quarry run is raw rock straight from the pit face, not crushed and graded. It builds up soft ground and raises grade before a graded base course goes on top.

See Quarry Run.

Delivery to Gold Beach and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Coverage runs across Gold Beach and the rest of Curry County, including Brookings, Port Orford, Langlois, Agness and Sixes. Whether your site sits close to the water or back up a valley road, the load comes to you.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The driver tips the pile in one place and does not spread it, so a firm, open area near the work keeps things simple.

Ground and Conditions in Gold Beach

This stretch of the Oregon Coast and Coast Range gets 60 to 120 inches of rain a year, most of it between November and March. Ground on the steep slopes and low spots stays saturated for months.

That timing matters. 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.

So a base here is really about drainage. A minus rock that compacts gives you a surface that holds, while clean open stone and drain rock move water away from the base instead of letting it pool.

The Pacific keeps winters mild and freezes short. It is months of saturation, not frost, that moves material around on this side of the state.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Gold Beach

What stone should I use for drainage in Gold Beach?

For moving water, use washed, open stone: drain rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, or 3/4 clean for drainage trenches and retaining wall backfill. Both are screened free of fines so water passes through.

Keep minus material, which holds its fines and compacts, for bases and drives rather than drainage.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot to tip the load, with room for a dump truck to reach it and turn around. The driver tips the pile in one place and does not spread it, so pick a spot close to the work.

Have gates open and any overhead lines noted before the truck pulls in.
