3/4 Clean, Stone and Soil Delivery in Independence, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Independence, OR, by the ton. The base under most drives, pads and shed floors here is 3/4 minus, also called 3/4-0 or 3/4 inch minus.

It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up instead of rolling underfoot. This part of the Willamette Valley sits on deep silt laid down by ice-age floods, and that ground shapes what you order.

Materials for Independence Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on a property. It is screened free of fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.

That covers French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

Drain rock, sold in Oregon as 1 1/2 clean, is the washed stone for those runs. It is open enough that water passes through rather than pooling above it.

3/4" Crushed Stone, called 3/4 clean or 3/4 open, is angular rock with the fines screened out. It suits drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill and construction entrances.

#57 Stone is a washed drainage stone for French drains and drywells. Most Oregon yards would name this size 3/4 clean.

Fines-bearing material is the other half of the job. 3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads and shop floors, and it compacts because the fines stay in it.

Above that base, 1/4 Minus beds pavers and flagstone and fine grades paths. Washed Sand beds pipe and levels under flatwork.

Willamette River Rock is rounded water-worn stone for decorative beds and dry creek beds. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges, and Oregon specifies it by class.

Ground and Conditions in Independence

This part of the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin gets 35 to 45 inches of rain a year, almost all of it between November and March. That rain lands on tight silt and clay that sheds water slowly.

The lowlands also carry a seasonal high water table. Drainage stone and a base that compacts both matter more here than they would on open ground.

Winter rain running off bare silt scours banks and cut slopes. Riprap and washed stone are how you hold those edges through the wet months.

Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and requires bare ground stabilized within two days. From May 1 to September 30 the window is seven days.

Base and paving work concentrates in the dry season for that reason. Frost is a minor concern here next to winter saturation and soft subgrade, and the county sets the frost depth figure.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Independence?

On most drives in this part of the Willamette Valley, 3/4 minus is the right surface. It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up rather than rolling underfoot.

A clean rock like 3/4 clean has no fines and will not bind the same way, though it drains well. Washed Sand is a bedding material, not a driveway surface.
