Customer Comments

“We retired to a small place near Enterprise in Wallowa County a few years back, and the steep gravel drive had been eating tires every spring once the snow melts off the mountains fast. Last fall we had twenty five tons of three quarter inch crushed stone put down over the worst stretches, spread by a neighbor with a skid steer since our own tractor isn't up to it anymore. Oregon Rock Supply's tri-axle handled our narrow switchback road better than we expected. Through one full mountain winter and this spring's runoff, the drive has held its shape, no washouts, nothing to grade out come summer.”

“We finally built the dry creek bed we'd talked about for years in our backyard near Cove in Union County, where a low spot used to collect runoff every spring and turn into a soggy mess. Ordered four tons of river rock along with some larger accent stones and laid it over fabric in a curving path toward the fence line. Oregon Rock Supply's driver dropped the rock right at the top of the yard so we didn't have to haul it down the slope. It has handled two runoff seasons now, moving the water where we wanted instead of letting it pool.”

“Run a small auto shop near North Bend on the coast, and the low end of our lot used to pool up so badly after a storm that customers couldn't park there for days. Last winter we put in a dry well and French drain using six tons of drain rock, tying into a pipe that runs toward the ditch along the road. Oregon Rock Supply's driver squeezed the tandem into a lot most trucks would have skipped and dumped it right where our excavator guy wanted it. Through the wettest stretch of winter the lot drained within an hour, and we haven't lost a spot since.”

“Volunteers from our small church outside North Plains organized a weekend to refresh every mulch bed on the property, since years of thin coverage had let weeds take over most of the beds around the building. We ordered six yards of shredded mulch and split it between about a dozen volunteers with wheelbarrows, spreading it three inches deep around the trees and foundation plantings. Oregon Rock Supply had the pile ready right at the edge of the lot before our crew arrived that Saturday morning, which let us start on schedule. Months later the color has held and the weeds that used to come up every few weeks haven't returned.”

“My wife and I finally tackled the drainage strip we'd been putting off for two years outside Cottage Grove, where the neighbor's downspout cut a little channel toward our fence during the rainy months. We ordered two and a half tons of three eighths inch crushed stone, laid landscape fabric, then filled and raked it level over a Saturday afternoon. Oregon Rock Supply dropped the pile at the top of the driveway like we asked so we could wheelbarrow it in stages. Six months and one soggy winter later, the water just disappears into the stone instead of carving a path toward the house.”

“Bought an older house above The Dalles last year and the crawlspace access flooded every time the wind driven rain came through the Gorge sideways. After talking to a contractor we decided to regrade around the foundation and back it with eighty nine crushed stone instead of the original dirt. We ordered four tons and Oregon Rock Supply's driver backed the truck along our narrow gravel lane without tearing up the fence line, dumping it in two piles where we'd flagged. It took a weekend of shoveling, but through this past winter's wind storms the crawlspace has stayed dry for the first time since we moved in.”

“We finally tackled the muddy strip under our deck out near Elgin in Union County last spring, where the dogs used to track mud into the house every time it rained. Ordered three tons of natural pea gravel, laid heavy landscape fabric first, then edged the whole area with treated lumber before filling it in. Oregon Rock Supply's driver dumped it close enough to the deck that we barely had to wheelbarrow it, saving a full afternoon. The rounded stone stays cool and clean under there, the dogs like lying on it in the shade, and through a full summer and fall it hasn't scattered past the edging.”

“We run cattle out past Brogan in Malheur County, and the access road through the lower field turns into a bog every time we get a real storm off the high desert. Last fall we hauled in twenty tons of railroad ballast and spread it the length of the worst quarter mile, since regular crushed stone had washed out on us twice before. Oregon Rock Supply's tri-axle made it down our rough county road without getting stuck, more than I can say for other trucks we've dealt with. Through the wettest winter in years the road stayed open for the feed truck, not one day lost to mud.”

“Run a handful of lakefront rental cabins near Veneta close to Fern Ridge Reservoir, and guests kept complaining about the rocky, weedy shoreline in front of the units. Last spring we brought in eight tons of washed sand and spread it across the stretch of shoreline to build a proper little beach. Oregon Rock Supply staged the delivery around lake levels so the truck could reach the bank without getting stuck in soft ground, which took some coordinating. Through a summer of guests wading in and out and one round of high water in the fall, the sand has stayed put and cabin bookings have been steady since.”

“We keep six horses on a small acreage out past Baker City and needed to run a new water line from the well to the barn before the ground froze last fall. Ordered three tons of number eight for bedding the pipe since it has no sharp chunks that could crack it under pressure. Oregon Rock Supply got the load out within two days, and the driver dumped it right at the trench head so we didn't have to haul it far in the wheelbarrow. The line has been through a full winter of freezing nights and hasn't had a single leak or shift.”

“We handle a fair amount of erosion control work along the Yaquina estuary near Toledo, where tidal action and winter storms chew through anything less than serious rock. Last fall we placed fourteen tons of riprap along a client's failing shoreline, keying the biggest pieces into the bank before layering smaller rock on top. Oregon Rock Supply had the tri-axle out within the promised window even with tide tables limiting our hours, which kept the job on schedule. Through the wettest stretch of winter, with king tides and heavy runoff hitting at once, the bank hasn't lost an inch, and the client has asked us to quote a second stretch.”

“Our small landscape supply retail spot in Oregon City had a back lot that settled unevenly over the years, pooling water against the loading dock every time it rained. Last fall we brought in fifteen yards of fill dirt to regrade the whole area before topping it with gravel for customer parking. Oregon Rock Supply worked around our delivery hours so the tri-axle didn't block customer access during business time, which we appreciated since we couldn't afford to shut the lot down. Through a full winter of Willamette Valley rain the grade has held and drained exactly the way we planned, no more puddles by the dock.”

“I manage a small irrigation supply shop out near Umatilla and the gravel lot customers park in used to pothole badly every spring once the wheat country mud thawed out. We had twenty tons of crusher run put down over the worst sections last fall, and the tri-axle driver spread two piles exactly where we marked so our own loader could push it around without extra hauling. Oregon Rock Supply beat the price the local quarry quoted by a fair margin, which mattered on a load that size. Through this spring's runoff the lot has stayed firm and level, no ruts by the entrance where trucks turn in the most.”

“I run a small excavation outfit out of the Gorge and we used thirty tons of number four under a customer's new shop pad above Hood River, where the wind off the river and the winter rain turn any exposed clay into a mess by December. We compacted in two lifts over fabric before topping with finer rock in the spring. Oregon Rock Supply had the tri-axle out within two days of the order, which mattered since we were racing a weather window before the fall rains set in. Eight months later the pad hasn't shifted, and the drainage around it works exactly like we planned.”

“We keep a small string of horses outside Prairie City in Grant County, and the dirt path from the house to the barn turned into a slick, muddy mess every time it rained through the winter. Last fall we ordered three tons of walkway gravel and laid it over fabric along the stretch, about a hundred and fifty feet. Oregon Rock Supply's driver made the drive out here without complaint and dumped the load right at the gate like we asked. Through a full winter of mountain weather the path has stayed firm underfoot, and my wife no longer changes boots twice on the way to feed.”

“We operate a small equipment rental business near Gold Hill along the Rogue, and every winter the runoff off the hill behind our storage yard cut a deeper groove toward the fence line. Last fall we addressed it with six tons of large river rock laid in a shallow channel over fabric, sloped to carry water toward the ditch instead of pooling against our fence posts. Oregon Rock Supply's driver worked the tandem down a tight access road and dumped it in two spots where we'd marked with stakes. Through a full winter of rain the channel has done its job, no new gouges and no water against the building.”

“I own three rental houses in Eugene and one of them had water working its way into the crawlspace every rainy season. A contractor recommended backfilling around the foundation with washed stone instead of the native clay soil, so we ordered fourteen tons of fifty seven and had it placed around the perimeter with a drain tile underneath. Oregon Rock Supply's driver worked around a tight side yard and dumped it in three smaller piles so we could wheelbarrow it without tearing up the lawn. Through last winter's rain the crawlspace stayed bone dry for the first time in years, and tenants stopped mentioning the musty smell.”

“Used three eighths inch stone as the bedding layer under a flagstone walkway for a customer outside Roseburg, screeding it out to a consistent quarter inch before setting stone. It leveled out clean and hasn't settled unevenly after a full winter of Umpqua Valley rain. Would have given full marks but the load ran a little dustier than the batch we got last year, which meant an extra rinse before we could screed it properly.”

“Our daycare's little chicken run near Damascus turned to slop every time it rained, which wasn't great with kids visiting the coop. One ton of stone screenings spread over the run compacted down and drains within minutes now. The only drawback was a fair bit of fine dust the first few dry days before it settled in with some watering.”

“The HOA entrance in Cornelius needed a refresh before the community's annual walk through, so we ordered five yards of shredded mulch for the beds lining the main road. It spread easily and held its dark color through a stretch of hot, dry summer weather without fading much. The one complaint from a resident was a faint smell for the first couple of days after delivery, which faded on its own.”

“Our daycare outside Sutherlin wanted a decorative border along the play yard fence that wouldn't wash out every winter. Two tons of river rock went in over fabric and it has stayed put through a full rainy season with zero maintenance. Parents and staff both like how it looks compared to the bark we had before, and the kids leave it alone since it's too heavy to scoop up easily.”

“Our HOA in Redmond needed a fresh topcoat on the walkway leading to the clubhouse and pool area, so we ordered four tons of number eight to spread over the existing base. Residents have commented on how clean it looks compared to the pea gravel we had before. Only issue was some fine dust that tracked onto the pool deck until the first good rain settled it down.”

“Put down eight tons of road base under a gravel driveway at a rental property in Dallas before topping it with finer rock. Compacted well and the tenants say it drains fine after Willamette Valley storms. Delivery ran about ninety minutes past the window we were given, which was the only hiccup in an otherwise smooth order.”

“Our church group near Lincoln City put in a covered patio behind the fellowship hall and needed drainage underneath before the concrete went down. Six tons of three quarter inch stone did the job and Oregon Rock Supply's driver squeezed the truck down our narrow gravel lane without any trouble. We've been through a full season of coastal winter storms since and there's no standing water under the slab at all.”

“Built a dry creek bed border along the side yard near Reedsport where the Umpqua fog keeps everything damp most of the year. Four tons of large river rock did the job, mixed with some smaller stone for texture. Delivery ran a bit past the window since our road is a long haul from the yard, but the driver still got it here the same afternoon.”

“Put in a side yard path at a rental near Cave Junction in the Illinois Valley using a ton and a half of walkway gravel over fabric. Tenants say it stays put and doesn't track into the house the way the old bark mulch did. Delivery came near the tail end of the window we were given, but the driver still placed it exactly where we'd flagged.”

“Out here on the high desert past Burns the equipment yard turns to gumbo every winter when the snow melts off. Put down about eighteen tons ahead of calving season and the tractor and stock trailer both track through clean now. Delivery window ran almost two hours past what we were told, but the driver called ahead and the load was exactly what we ordered.”

“Used gravel sand as the base layer under a paver walkway for a client near Brownsville, screeding it out even before setting the pavers on top. Compacted well with the plate tamper and the walkway has stayed flat through a full rainy season already. Oregon Rock Supply had the load out the same day we called, which kept the job moving without a delay.”

“A low corner of our pasture near Aumsville used to hold standing water long after every storm passed. Hauled in ten yards of fill dirt over a couple weekends to raise it up and blend it into the slope. Cattle can cross it now without sinking. Only gripe is a few clumps of old root ball mixed in that we had to pick out by hand.”

“Our horses needed a run in shed on our place near Joseph that wouldn't turn to soup during Wallowa County winters. Four tons of crusher run packed down hard with the tractor bucket and a hand tamper. The color came in grayer than the sample photo online, but the compaction has been excellent through one full winter.”

“Our church needed a French drain fixed before the rains came back, so a crew of volunteers turned out on a Saturday to dig the trench and set the pipe. Three tons of drain rock from Oregon Rock Supply filled it in around the pipe nice and clean. Delivery landed near the tail end of the window, so the last couple of volunteers ended up shoveling by headlamp to finish before dark.”

“Our congregation near Coos Bay had standing water behind the fellowship hall every winter, so a work crew of volunteers put in a French drain using six tons of fifty seven stone. It drains beautifully now even during the heavy coastal storms in January. The only complaint from our crew was that the delivery window slipped by about an hour past what we'd scheduled around volunteer availability.”

“Our farm pond dam near Yoncalla started washing out on the downhill side after a couple of wet winters, and we were losing ground every season. Ordered ten tons of riprap and had it stacked along the face of the dam before this year's rains hit. Oregon Rock Supply got the load out within a few days even though we're off the main road. The dam held through this year's heaviest storms, no more slumping.”

“Spent a Saturday filling potholes in our gravel driveway near Brookings on the south coast with four tons of driveway gravel, raking it level by hand with my neighbor helping. Packed in nicely after a few passes with the car. The only downside was the color running a bit grayer than what's shown in the online photos, which stood out against our older gravel.”

“Set up a dog run for a client outside Stayton using natural pea gravel instead of crushed stone since their older dog has sensitive paws. Two tons spread over fabric and edged with steel border did the job nicely, and Oregon Rock Supply had it out within two days. Rounded stone is gentle enough that the dog lays right down on it, and it hasn't tracked into the house through a wet Willamette Valley winter.”

“Used four tons of three quarter inch stone as base under a new community patio in Woodburn. It locked together well under the compactor and hasn't shifted under foot traffic. Residents already use the space for evening cookouts.”

“Ordered twenty tons for a driveway rebuild on a rental up above Grants Pass where the old base had washed out toward the creek. The tandem got in fine on a narrow gravel drive and dumped it in two spots like I asked. Compacted well under the plate compactor. One in twenty pieces was closer to boulder size and I had to break it up by hand.”

“Our small tasting room off the main strip in McMinnville had beds out front that went weedy before the summer wine crowds arrived. Three yards of shredded mulch covered everything in an afternoon and gave the storefront a cleaner look right away. The driver dropped it in the back lot exactly where we asked so we didn't block foot traffic. It has held its dark color through the tourist season so far.”

“We run wheat and onion ground out past Vale in Malheur County and the lane from the county road to the shop needed real base before harvest trucks started rolling through. Twenty two tons of road base went down and compacted hard within days. Oregon Rock Supply had the tri-axle out inside the window they promised, rare for a farm this far out. The lane held every loaded truck through harvest without rutting.”

“Our property backs up to a side channel off the McKenzie near McKenzie Bridge, and snowmelt used to carve a new path through the yard every spring. We lined a swale with three tons of large river rock last fall to slow the water down and spread it out. Through this year's runoff the channel stayed put instead of migrating toward the barn like it used to.”

“Our daycare needed a play lawn leveled before we could reseed it for the fall session, and two yards of top soil from Oregon Rock Supply covered the whole area with plenty to spare. Raking it smooth went fine everywhere except one low corner that stayed damp, where the rake kept balling up clumps instead of spreading them out. Seed went down anyway and most of it has already sprouted.”

“Bought our place outside Boring last year and needed a firm pad before a new garden shed arrived. Two tons of stone screenings compacted down hard with a rented plate tamper over a weekend. It has held the shed level and dry through a full rainy season, and the neighbors keep asking where we got such a clean, tight surface for so little material.”

“We subcontract chip seal and small paving jobs around Corvallis and picked up eight tons of number eight for a private lane resurface ahead of the fall rains. Spread evenly and rolled in without excess dust kicking up on a windy day, which usually causes problems for us. Oregon Rock Supply had it loaded and on site inside the same delivery window they quoted, and the lane has held up through one wet winter already.”

“The farm road cutting through our lower pasture near Juntura floods every spring when the creek comes up, and regular gravel just disappeared into the mud within a season. Put down nine tons of railroad ballast last fall since it drains faster than anything else we tried. The road stayed passable through this year's high water, first time in a while we didn't need the tractor to pull a truck out.”

“Redid the foundation beds around our place outside Mosier with river rock instead of the mulch that kept blowing away in the Gorge wind. Used about two tons spread over fabric along three sides of the house. Looks clean and hasn't scattered even in some strong gusts this spring. Only nitpick is a handful of stones came through duller in color than the sample piece we were shown.”

“Went the DIY route mixing my own concrete instead of paying for bagged mix at the hardware store, and washed sand from Oregon Rock Supply made the batches come out clean and consistent. Sand ran noticeably coarser toward the bottom of the pile, though, so the last couple batches needed re-proportioning to keep the mix workable. Still came out cheaper than bags by a wide margin.”

“A chimney repair on an older farmhouse outside Aurora needed mortar sand fine enough to match the original lime mortar without looking chalky against a hundred year old brick. Went through two different color test patches before landing on the right blend, half a ton total, more than enough with plenty left over for touch ups. Paid nine dollars more a ton than I budgeted for, which I grumbled about the whole drive out, but the color held true once it cured and the homeowner never noticed the seam between old and new brick.”

“Set up three raised beds near the barn on our small horse property outside Clackamas, tired of fighting the compacted clay everywhere else on the place. Ordered a yard and a half of garden soil and mixed in some of our own composted manure before planting. Everything from peppers to pole beans has taken off this year. Oregon Rock Supply got it delivered right alongside the barn, saving a long wheelbarrow haul.”

“Put in a dog run for a client outside Silverton using three eighths inch crushed stone over a base layer, since the client's two labs kept turning the yard to mud every wet Willamette Valley spring. Ordered two tons and it packed in tight enough that digging isn't much of an option for the dogs anymore. Client's already asked about a second smaller run for a puppy she's bringing home this fall.”

“Poured a set of footings for a client's deck outside Scio using gravel sand in the concrete mix instead of trucking in ready mix for such a small pour. Worked out a lot cheaper for a job this size and set up plenty strong once cured. Only issue was a bit more fine material mixed in than we typically see, which meant a slightly wetter mix than planned.”

“We farm hay ground out in the Grande Ronde Valley near Union and the turnaround by the shop used to churn to mud every time the swather or the grain truck pulled in. Ordered twelve tons of crusher run through Oregon Rock Supply and had it spread and packed before harvest. A full season of trucks and trailers later it still hasn't rutted, even with the fall rain.”

“Long day. New construction lawn out past Springfield where the grading contractor left a slope pitched straight at the house instead of away from it, which nobody caught until the first six yards of top soil were already down and raked smooth. Had to pull half of it back up, regrade the whole thing myself with a rake and a level, then relay the soil a second time before we could even think about seed. Oregon Rock Supply squeezed in a same day reorder when I called panicking about running short on the redo, which is the only reason we finished before dark. Legs are done.”

“We manage a string of guest cabins near Yachats on the coast and needed a foot friendly path connecting them to the main lodge. Two and a half tons of walkway gravel spread easily over landscape fabric in a weekend. Oregon Rock Supply had it delivered right to the top of our steep gravel drive so we didn't have to haul it far. Guests comment on how tidy it looks against the coastal ferns.”

“Built a sandbox for the grandkids at our place outside Dundee in wine country, using a half yard of mason sand instead of the bagged stuff from the hardware store since it worked out so much cheaper by the load. Screeded it level under a cedar frame my neighbor helped build. Fine, soft texture, no rocks or debris mixed in, and the grandkids have been out there every weekend since.”

“Run a small equipment repair shop outside Pendleton and topped off the gravel apron out front with three tons of sixty seven. Packs tighter than the fifty seven we used years back. Customers aren't tracking mud into the bay anymore.”

“Our HOA near Talent needed an overflow parking area for weekend guests since the paved lot fills up fast during Rogue Valley festival season. Ordered eleven tons of road base and it graded out even and firm under a rented roller. Residents have been using it for six months with no ruts forming. Only complaint is a bit more dust kicked up than we expected on windy days.”

“Mixed our own concrete for a fence post project out in dairy country near Tillamook and used a ton and a half of number eight in the batches instead of buying premix bags. Cheaper by a wide margin and the aggregate size worked perfectly in the mixer. All twelve posts set rock solid and haven't budged through a soggy coastal winter.”

“Our new place in Tualatin had a low corner of the yard that turned into a swamp every time it rained. Brought in six yards of fill dirt to raise the grade and slope it away from the fence. Took a weekend with a rented plate compactor to get it right. The soggy patch is completely gone now, even after a wet winter.”

“Our cabin sits near Lowell on Dexter Reservoir below Lookout Point Dam, and the shoreline in front of it was nothing but silt and driftwood before we brought in ten tons of washed sand for a proper beach. Oregon Rock Supply's tandem backed down the boat ramp access road and dumped it in one pile, and we spread it out over a weekend with rakes and a borrowed skid steer. Clean and pale, nothing like the muddy reservoir bottom, and it hasn't washed out even after the reservoir level dropped for the fall drawdown.”

“We manage a townhome complex in Bend and needed material for French drains along four units where spring runoff was pooling against the foundations. Ordered nine tons of fifty seven stone and the driver navigated our narrow parking court better than the last supplier did. Drains have handled two full winters of runoff without backing up. Only knock is the load arrived damper than expected, which made shoveling it into the trench slower than planned.”
