Bulk Material Delivery in Sublimity, OR

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Sublimity, OR, Oregon Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard and hauls it to your site. Local ground is deep silt laid down by ice-age floods, and that fine soil sheds winter water slowly.

Base work here starts with 3/4 minus, a crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines that compacts and locks up.

Materials for Sublimity Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for on a Sublimity lot. That means washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, sized open so water moves through instead of sitting against your footing.

Drain Rock, also called 1 1/2 clean, is washed and open. It goes in French drains, curtain drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone is angular rock with the fines screened out. Use it in drainage trenches, retaining wall backfill, construction entrances and soft wet ground.

3/8" Crushed Stone is the smaller clean size. It beds pipe, handles tight drainage work and tops a compacted base.

Minus rock is the other half of the pair. It keeps its fines and compacts, so it is what you build on rather than drain through.

3/4 Minus (also sold as 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock) is the standard base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases. 1/4 Minus beds pavers and flagstone, tops a compacted base and grades paths fine.

Some lots need building up before any of that. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low ground.

Quarry Run, also called pit run, is raw rock straight off the pit face for the same job on soft ground.

Ground and Conditions in Sublimity

Across the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, 35 to 45 inches of rain falls almost entirely between November and March. Most of it lands on tight silt and clay that sheds water slowly, and low ground carries a seasonal high water table.

That shapes your working season. Base and paving work concentrates in the dry months, because wet subgrade will not compact the way a graded base needs to.

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.

Winter rain also scours bare silt and cuts into stream banks and foothill slopes. Riprap specified by class, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, armors those edges.

Frost is a minor issue here by comparison. The Oregon figure of 12 inches below about 2,500 feet is a footing depth the county sets, not a target for digging a gravel base.

Questions About Gravel in Sublimity

What gravel is best for a driveway in Sublimity?

On most drives here the answer is a minus rock rather than a clean one. 3/4 Minus is graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under a tire, which suits the silty ground around Sublimity.

A clean rock stays open and drains well but rolls underfoot, so it belongs in a drain rather than a driving surface.
