Bark Dust, Stone and Soil Delivery in Mitchell, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mitchell, OR, by the ton or by the yard. The base most drives and pads here start from is 3/4 minus, the crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines that compacts and locks up.

Mitchell sits in Wheeler County, up against ground that runs to the Blue Mountains and Wallowas. Snowmelt off those ranges drives the drainage work on this side of the state.

Materials for Mitchell Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on most sites here: French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. Water moves through open, screened stone instead of sitting in it.

Start with the coarsest drainage stone and work down to the fine bedding and surfacing materials.

Drain rock is the washed, open stone for French drains and drywells. 3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock with the fines screened out, so it drains in a trench or behind a retaining wall.

3/8" Crushed Stone is the small angular size for pipe bedding and tight drainage. 3/4 Minus is the fines-bearing base that compacts under a driveway or shop floor.

1/4 Minus, also called quarter minus, is the fine bedding for pavers and flagstone. It also tops a compacted base and finishes paths.

Where ground is soft or low, Quarry Run builds grade before a graded base course goes on. It is raw rock straight from the quarry face, not crushed and screened material.

For surfacing an existing drive, Driveway Gravel is a minus rock that compacts under tires. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface that stays put.

Ground and Conditions in Mitchell

The working season here runs from snowmelt to the first hard frosts. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Across the Blue Mountains and Wallowas, the high ranges take most of the precipitation and feed valleys that get far less. That means spring snowmelt arrives fast.

Snowmelt scours stream banks and culverts, and runoff comes off steep forest roads and bare slopes after wildfire. Erosion control on a Mitchell site usually means washed stone, not fine material.

Wheeler County sets its own frost depth figure. Where a footing depth is specified on your plans, that is the number to work from.

The ground here is old accreted rock with basalt over it, and alluvial gravel in the valleys. Tight fines over that stay wet and move under load, so drainage stone belongs under the base, not mixed into it.
