Order 3/4 Minus and Crushed Stone in Jackson County, OR
Oregon Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jackson County, OR. A wet winter followed by a very dry summer puts the year's runoff onto steep ground and heavy valley clay in a few short months.
Water that cannot move through a base pools on top of it. Build a drive, a pad or a shop floor on 3/4 minus and the crushed rock grades from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up instead of pumping.
Ground conditions across Jackson County
Jackson County spans more than one ground region. In the Klamath Mountains and the Rogue and Umpqua Valleys, serpentinite, gabbro and granitic rock sit under thin stony soils, with deeper clay loam and river gravel on the valley floors.
In the Cascade Range, the ground is young volcanic rock: andesite and basalt with pumice, cinders and ash over it, and thin stony soil at elevation.
Steep unstable slopes slide once the ground is saturated, banks scour, and bare slopes after wildfire shed water fast. A base course that drains and compacts protects an under-built driveway on that ground.
The long dry summer gives the widest working window in western Oregon, and winter rain closes it from late autumn. At elevation, snow and frozen ground stop base and paving work until the ground dries in late spring.
Where a frost depth applies, the building official sets the figure. Freezing is short-lived on the valley floors and sustained on higher ground.
Materials delivered in Jackson County
Order by project. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different rock, and the name on the ticket matters as much as the size.
3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon base, also called 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock. Oregon specifies base material by top size with a minus notation, and the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction set dense-graded base aggregate at 3/4 inch - 0 among other sizes.
Section 00641.10 states that base aggregate is dense-graded unless otherwise specified, and Section 02630.11 covers open-graded aggregate, the clean, fines-free material. That is the pair to hold onto: minus under a driveway, clean in a drain.
Choosing the right material
Josephine County sits in the same region and the same ground region as Jackson County: serpentinite, gabbro and granitic rock through the Klamath Mountains, with deeper clay loam and river gravel on the Rogue and Umpqua valley floors. The ground is the same, so the base and drainage choice is the same.
Douglas County is Southern Oregon too, but its ground reaches the Oregon Coast and Coast Range alongside the Klamath Mountains and the Rogue and Umpqua Valleys. Ground that wet wants open, free-draining stone in the trench and a compacted minus rock above it.
Pick by what the water does. Under a driveway or a shop floor, order 3/4 minus.
In a trench, a drywell or a downspout run, order drain rock or 3/4 clean.
For a path or a play area, Natural Pea Gravel and river rock give a smooth rounded surface. For a stream bank or a culvert outlet, riprap is specified by class.
For beds and planting, order screened topsoil or garden soil.
