Riprap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Seaside, OR

Oregon Rock Supply provides gravel and aggregate delivery in Seaside, OR, with bulk loads ordered online and tipped at your site. The base under most drives and pads here is 3/4 minus, a crushed rock graded down to fines that compacts and locks up.

Winter rain on the coast moves a lot of ground, so slope and bank work matters as much as the base.

Materials for Seaside Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slopes, swales and banks around Seaside. The open, angular sizes armor ground against runoff instead of letting water cut through it.

RipRap is the first choice for armoring stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes. Oregon riprap is specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, so the class number tells you how the stone is specified for the job.

Railroad Ballast is a coarse angular rock for track beds, heavy hard standing and severe drainage. It stays open, so water drops through rather than pooling on the surface.

3/4" Crushed Stone, also called 3/4 clean or 3/4 open, has the fines screened out. It suits drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill and bridging soft wet ground.

Drain Rock, or 1 1/2 clean, is washed and open for French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs. Water moves through it instead of sitting.

3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases. It keeps its fines and compacts into a firm surface.

1/4 Minus, or quarter minus, beds pavers and flagstone and tops a compacted base. It also fine grades paths.

Ground and Conditions in Seaside

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, 60 to 120 inches of rain falls in a year, most of it between November and March. Ground on steep slopes and low areas stays saturated for months.

That shapes the working season. 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.

Under the hills here you get basalt headlands and uplifted marine sandstone and siltstone, with dune sand and soft bluff material along the shore. Saturation, not frost, is what moves material on the coast.

Winter storm waves and storm surge work on beaches, dunes and sea cliffs, and slides and slumps show up in the bluffs. Riprap and large river rock are how you hold those edges.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Seaside

What stone should I use for drainage in Seaside?

Use a washed, open stone so water passes through instead of sitting. Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean, suits French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or 3/4 clean, works for drainage trenches and retaining wall backfill. Both are screened free of fines, which is what keeps them draining through a wet coast winter.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear and reachable so the truck can tip the load in one pile. Mark where you want that pile if it helps you, and keep vehicles and equipment out of the way.

The driver tips the material and does not spread or place it, so plan to move it from the pile yourself.
