Bulk Gravel Delivery to South Beach, OR

Oregon Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in South Beach, OR, from 3/4 minus base rock to drain rock, sand and topsoil.

If you are bedding pavers or flatwork on the coast, you are working over ground that stays wet for months at a time, so what goes under the slab matters as much as what shows.

Ground and Conditions in South Beach

Across the Oregon Coast and Coast Range, ground runs from basalt headlands to marine sandstone and siltstone, with dune sand and soft bluff material near the shore. Deep weathered soil covers the forested slopes above town.

That ground takes 60 to 120 inches of rain a year, most of it between November and March. Low ground stays saturated for months, and winter storm waves, surge and bluff slumping keep working on the shoreline.

A thin base over that kind of ground shows its weakness fast. The material shifts, the pavers rock, and the surface drops out of line where water has been sitting underneath.

The fix is a base course that compacts into a stable, well-graded layer and a drainage layer that moves water away instead of trapping it. Bare ground also has to be covered quickly once the fall rains start.

Base, drive and paver work on the coast runs from late spring into early autumn. From October into April, sites stay wet and exposed subgrade is hard to work.

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

Materials for South Beach Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows up first. The bed has to hold a uniform surface while the base below it stays firm and drains.

1/4 Minus, also called quarter minus, is the fines product for bedding pavers and flagstone. It also tops a compacted base and does fine grading on paths, because the fines let it bed tight without pushing the surface out of line.

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. Crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines compacts and locks up, which is what a paver bed needs underneath it.

Under the drainage side, Drain Rock is washed and open so water moves through it instead of sitting. It serves French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Washed Sand handles pipe bedding, leveling under slabs and flatwork, and concrete mix, washed so it drains rather than holding water.

For finish work, Top Soil covers lawns, bed prep and finish grading. Screened topsoil matters on the coast because valley ground is silty and clods up when wet.
