Pea Gravel for Pathways in Otis, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Otis, OR for contractors and homeowners alike. Some orders are a single load for a garden path; others are a full drive or building pad.

Either way you order online and a dump truck tips the material on site.

Start with 3/4 minus, the crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines that Oregon crews use as a compacted base. On the coast, ground that stays saturated for months is what makes a base matter.

Ground and Conditions in Otis

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, the ground runs from basalt and uplifted marine sandstone to dune sand, soft bluff material and deep weathered soil on the forested slopes. Rainfall here runs 60 to 120 inches a year, most of it between November and March.

That much water on steep slopes and low ground leaves sites saturated for months at a time. A thin base course shows it first: the surface pumps, ruts and loses its shape under a truck or a trailer wheel.

The fix is a graded base that compacts and locks up, so load spreads instead of punching down into soft ground. Material with its fines still in it does that; clean open stone does not.

Winter storm waves, storm surge and slides in the bluffs add another layer of movement on the coast. Bare ground has to be covered quickly once the rain sets in.

Base, drive and paver work runs from late spring into early autumn. From October into April, sites stay wet and the working window closes.

The Pacific keeps winters mild and freezes short, so it is months of saturation rather than frost that moves material here.

Materials for Otis Projects

Paths and walkways are where fines and screenings earn their place. A walkable surface has to stay put underfoot and hold its shape through a wet coastal winter, and that calls for material that knits together rather than rolling loose.

Walkway Gravel is blended for exactly that job: a finer, walkable surface for garden paths and walkways. It sits well over a compacted base and does not scatter the way loose round stone can.

1/4 Minus, which Oregon yards call quarter minus, is the fines product. It beds pavers and flagstone, tops a compacted base and fine grades paths.

Because it keeps its fines, it compacts and locks up instead of draining away.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the smooth rounded option, the stone Oregon yards simply call Natural Pea Gravel. It suits paths, play areas, dog runs and drainage where a rounded surface is wanted, and it stays loose rather than locking together.

For the base under all of it, 3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon choice 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 water has to move rather than sit, Drain Rock is washed and open. It serves French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.
