Riprap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Sheridan, OR

Oregon Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Sheridan, OR straight to your site. Sizing a load starts with the calculator on each product page, then the material itself.

You order by the ton or by the yard. In town and out in Yamhill County, 3/4 minus is the base that goes under drives, shop floors and shed pads, and it compacts because it keeps its fines.

Materials for Sheridan Projects

Winter water is the driver here. Coarse stone is what holds a slope, lines a swale and armors a bank when runoff comes off bare ground and heads for a low spot.

Riprap and large stone

RipRap is slope protection rock, and it is specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000. Use it on stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes where moving water would otherwise take the soil out from under you.

Railroad Ballast is the same idea at a heavy, open grade: coarse angular rock for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. #4 Crushed Stone works trench bottoms and construction entrances where a large open stone is wanted.

Clean stone for drainage

Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean, is washed and open so water moves through it instead of sitting. That makes it the stone for French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

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

3/8" Crushed Stone is the smaller version for pipe bedding and tight drainage work.

Minus rock and bedding

3/4 Minus, also called 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock, is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines so it locks up under a driveway, parking pad or shop floor. 1/4 Minus, or quarter minus, is the fines product for bedding pavers and flagstone and for fine grading on paths.

Quarry Run is raw rock straight from the pit face, uncrushed, used to build up soft ground and raise grade before a graded base course goes on top. Fill Dirt does the same job in soil, backfilling and building up low ground.

Sand, soil and surface material

Washed Sand drains instead of holding water, so it beds pipe, levels under slabs and flatwork, and mixes concrete. Top Soil is screened because the ground it comes off clods up when wet, and it finishes lawns and beds.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and Willamette River Rock are rounded stone for paths, play areas and decorative beds. Shredded Mulch, which Oregon yards call bark dust, goes on beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Sheridan

Across the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, winter rain lands on tight silt and clay that sheds water slowly, and the lowlands hold a seasonal high water table. That is why drainage stone and slope protection do so much of the work around here.

Plan around the working season. Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and requires bare ground stabilized within two days, against seven days from May 1 to September 30.

Base and paving work concentrates in the dry months.

Erosion shows up as winter rain running off bare silt, bank scour along the waterways and slides on steep foothill slopes. If you are working near a bank or a swale, get the coarse stone in place before the rain starts.

Questions from Sheridan Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Sheridan?

Start with drain rock, also called 1 1/2 clean. It is washed and open, so water passes through instead of sitting in the trench.

For a drain that needs a smaller stone, 3/4" Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone are both screened free of fines. Where a trench bottom or a construction entrance needs a large open stone, #4 Crushed Stone fits that job.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear spot the truck can back into and tip its load. The driver tips the material in one pile and does not spread or place it, so leave room to work the pile afterward.

Have your delivery date set at checkout and the area clear of vehicles, tools and anything you do not want under the stone.
