Bulk Gravel Delivery to Mount Hood Parkdale, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Hood Parkdale, OR for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are pouring a shop floor or setting a paver patio; others are topping a drive or bedding a walkway.

Both start with 3/4 minus.

This side of the state sits on young volcanic ground, with pumice, cinders and ash over andesite and basalt. That shapes what goes under your project.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Hood Parkdale

Across the Cascade Range and Hood River Valley, the ground runs to pumice, cinders and ash over andesite and basalt. Some of it is free-draining, and some of it is thin and stony at elevation.

That mix is what a thin base fails on. A paver or a slab laid over too little compacted rock moves, and the joints open first.

The fix is a base that compacts and locks up rather than one that stays loose.

Water is the other half of it. Heavy winter precipitation and spring snowmelt come off steep volcanic slopes fast, and rain-on-snow runoff scours culverts, shoulders and stream banks.

Water that reaches a base course needs somewhere to go.

The working season is short here. Snow and frozen ground stop base and paving work from late autumn until the ground dries out in late spring, so the dry months carry the schedule.

Frost depth in the Cascades is set by the county and varies with elevation, and it is a footing figure rather than a base depth.

Materials for Mount Hood Parkdale Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows fastest. A paver bed needs a fine, compactable material that holds a screeded plane, and 1/4 minus is what Oregon yards sell for that job.

Under the bedding, the base does the structural work. 3/4 Minus, also called 3/4-0 or 3/4 inch minus, is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases.

It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up.

Where you need a drainage layer instead of a compacted one, the rules flip. Minus material holds water; clean material moves it.

Drain Rock, sold here as 1 1/2 clean or washed drain rock, suits French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or 3/4 clean, is angular rock with the fines screened out. It works in drainage trenches, behind retaining walls and at construction entrances.

For tight work, 3/8" Crushed Stone covers pipe bedding and fine drainage. Walkway Gravel gives paths a walkable surface that stays put, and Shredded Mulch, which Oregon customers call bark dust, handles beds and tree rings.
