On the Oregon Coast, ground stays wet for months, so what goes under your pad matters as much as what goes on top. Start with 3/4 minus, the crushed rock that compacts and locks up under a drive, a pad or a shed base.

Materials for Powers Projects

Raising grade is the first job on a lot that sits low or holds water. Fill dirt builds up the ground before anything graded goes on top, and quarry run does the same work with raw rock straight from the pit face.

Once the grade is up, 3/4 minus is the base that compacts and locks up under a driveway, a parking pad, a shop floor or a shed base. It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to the fines, and those fines are what let it tighten under a load.

For a patio or a path, the base and the surface are two different orders. 1/4 minus beds pavers and flagstone and tops a compacted base, while walkway gravel gives a path a finer surface that stays put underfoot.

Drainage is its own material, not a base. Drain rock is washed and open so water moves through it instead of sitting, which is what a French drain, a footing drain or a downspout run needs.

Where a slope or a culvert outlet has to hold against winter runoff, riprap is the coarse rock that armors the bank. It is specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000.

Ground and Conditions in Powers

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, the ground runs to weathered soil on forested slopes, with soft bluff material and dune sand near the shore. Deep soil that stays wet will not carry a load on its own.

This part of the state takes 60 to 120 inches of rain a year, most of it between November and March. Low ground stays saturated for months, and an under-built base moves once that water gets into it.

That is why grade comes first. Build the pad up with fill or quarry run, then cap it with a minus rock that compacts, and put a clean open stone where water has to leave.

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.

Freezes are short here, so it is months of saturation rather than frost that moves material. Any footing depth figure is set by the city or county building official.

Questions About Material in Powers

What is the best base under pavers in Powers?

Use 3/4 minus for the structural base because it compacts and locks up, then bed the pavers in 1/4 minus, the fines product sold as quarter minus. The base carries the load and the bedding lets you fine grade.

Keep the two separate, since a clean open stone will not compact into a base.
