Ground and Conditions in Phoenix

Across the Klamath Mountains, Rogue and Umpqua Valleys the ground runs from thin stony soil over serpentinite, gabbro and granitic rock to deeper clay loam and river gravel on the valley floors. A thin base over that shows itself fast.

Ruts, pumping edges and pavers that rock underfoot all trace back to a base course too shallow for what sits under it.

The fix is a graded minus rock that compacts into a firm, tight layer, not a clean stone that stays loose. In this part of the state the winter is wet and the summer is very dry, so runoff arrives in a few months and moves fast over saturated clay.

Water that cannot drain away sits in the base and works it loose.

The long dry summer gives the widest working window in western Oregon, and winter rain and saturated slopes close it from late autumn. Plan the base work for the dry months.

Freezing is short-lived on the valley floors and sustained on higher ground, and the county sets the footing depth that applies to your site.

Materials for Phoenix Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the base either holds or fails. A paver laid on a loose, uneven bed rocks within a season, and a slab poured over a soft layer cracks at the corners.

The bed has to be graded, compacted and flat before anything goes on top.

3/4 Minus, also called 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock, 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.

Build the pad on that, then bed the surface material over it.

1/4 Minus, or quarter minus, is the fines product Oregon yards sell for bedding under pavers and flagstone, for topping over a compacted base, and for fine grading on paths. It spreads flat and stays flat underfoot.

Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean or washed drain rock, goes in French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs. It is washed and open, so water moves through it instead of sitting against your base.

Washed Sand beds pipes, levels under slabs and flatwork, mixes into concrete and works as arena footing. It is washed so it drains rather than holding water.

Questions About Gravel in Phoenix

What gravel is best for a driveway in Phoenix?

For most drives, 3/4 minus is the right choice. It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts into a firm surface instead of rolling under tires.

Surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base both call for a minus rock like this rather than a clean stone. If the drive needs drainage, a clean rock such as drain rock belongs in a trench beside it, not on the surface.

How much material will my project need?

That depends on the area you are covering and how deep the material needs to sit, and both vary by job. Each product page has a calculator that sizes the load from your own figures.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, so work out the number before you check out. If the figure looks close to a whole load, check your measurements again.
