Base, fill and yard materials for Gresham jobs
For pad build-up and driveway preparation, 3/4 Minus is the working base material. It is also called 3/4 inch minus, dense grade or crushed base. The fines lock in around the larger aggregate during compaction, making it useful under parking areas, sheds and hardscape work.
Quarry Run works for rough fill, grade correction and building up an area before a tighter base layer goes on top. Washed sand suits bedding and leveling work. Garden soil fits finish grading where the goal is a planting surface, while Natural Pea Gravel provides a rounded cover for paths and other exposed areas.
Measure length by width for square footage, then multiply by planned depth. Convert the depth to feet before calculating cubic feet. Material is sold by weight or volume depending on the product, so use the calculator result as the starting point and account for compaction where a dense base is required.
Ground, frost and drainage planning in Multnomah County
For low spots and soft ground, build the grade in compacted lifts rather than placing the full depth at once. A pad or driveway base commonly starts in the 4 to 8 inch range, with final depth tied to traffic, soil condition and the finished use. Spread each lift evenly, add moisture if needed for compaction, then compact before the next layer.
Oregon drainage guidance notes that clay in the Willamette Valley stays saturated from November through April. A driveway without a free-draining base can rut during winter conditions. Use Drain Rock, also called 3/4 clean or 1 1/2 clean, around a drain line or outlet where open voids are needed for water movement.
Oregon's statewide frost-depth guide is 12 inches. Confirm frost requirements, footing depth and drainage details with the local building department before starting structural work.
