Order 3/4 Minus and Crushed Stone in Lincoln County, OR

If you are building a driveway, a shop pad or a shed base in Lincoln County, Oregon, the material you want is 3/4 minus. Oregon Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lincoln County, OR by the ton, straight to your site.

Oregon names aggregate by top size. A minus keeps its fines and compacts; a clean has the fines screened out and drains.

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, months of rain and ground that stays saturated make that pair the first choice you face.

Ground Conditions Across Lincoln County

Across this part of Oregon, 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.

Rain on the Oregon Coast and Coast Range runs heavy, most of it between November and March. It falls on steep slopes and low ground that stay saturated for months, so a compacted base and a drainage layer both have to be planned before you order.

Winter storm waves and storm surge work on beaches, dunes and sea cliffs, and low ground floods during major storms. Riprap and large river rock armor the places where water arrives with force.

Ground here runs to basalt headlands over uplifted marine sandstone and siltstone, dune sand and soft bluff material along the shore, and deep weathered soil on the forested slopes. The Pacific keeps winters mild and freezes short, so it is saturation rather than frost that moves material on this side of the state.

Materials Delivered in Lincoln County

3/4 minus, also called 3/4-0 or 3/4 inch minus, is the standard Oregon base. It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases.

Oregon specifies base material by top size with a minus notation.

The Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction set dense-graded base aggregate in Section 02630.10 at 2 1/2 inch - 0, 2 inch - 0, 1 1/2 inch - 0, 1 inch - 0 and 3/4 inch - 0, and Section 00641.10 states that base aggregate is dense-graded unless otherwise specified.

Section 02630.11 covers open-graded aggregate, the clean, fines-free material.

Smaller and cleaner sizes round out the list. 3/8 crushed rock handles pipe bedding and tight drainage work, while #8 crushed stone fills paver joints and #57 stone suits French drains and drywells.

Oregon yards more often sell those washed sizes as 3/4 clean or 1 1/2 clean by inch size.

Soils and sand finish the order. Top Soil is screened because the ground it comes off clods up when wet, and Garden Soil goes into raised beds where native silt is too tight to plant.

Washed Sand beds pipe and levels under flatwork, and Shredded Mulch, which Oregon customers call bark dust, covers beds and tree rings.

Choosing the Right Material

Tillamook County sits in the Oregon Coast and Coast Range ground region, which is the same region this county sits in. The ground itself is the same, so the base and drainage choices carry over without change.

Lane County and Benton County sit in the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, where the ground is deep slackwater silt laid down by the ice-age Missoula floods, red clay and silty clay loam in the foothills, and river gravel along the Willamette and its tributaries.

That is a different ground from the sandstone, siltstone and dune sand here, so a base course has to be considered on its own merits when you move inland.

Match the material to the job. A drive or pad takes a minus that compacts; a drain, footing or drywell takes a clean, open stone that lets water through.
