Start with 3/4 minus, the crushed rock that compacts and locks up under a patio, a pad or a shop floor. The valley floor here is deep silt, so a soft subgrade decides how the build goes.

Ground and Conditions in Walterville

Across the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, 35 to 45 inches of rain falls mostly from November through March. That water lands on tight silt and clay that sheds it slowly.

A thin base fails first here. Saturation softens the subgrade, the material pumps, and the surface above it moves.

Fix it with a graded, compactable base that carries load and a clean, open stone that moves water away. Those are two different materials, and mixing them up is where the trouble starts.

Winter rain also runs off bare silt and scours banks and cut slopes. Time earthwork for the dry months and cover bare ground before the wet season opens on October 1.

Winters stay mild and freezes are short, so frost heave is a minor concern next to saturation. The frost depth figure of 12 inches is the Oregon number below about 2,500 feet, and Lane County sets it.

Materials for Walterville Projects

Patios and flatwork live or fail on what sits under them. Bed the surface in 1/4 minus, and set the structural layer below it in 3/4 minus.

Get those two right and the rest is straightforward.

3/4 Minus, also called 3/4-0 or 3/4 inch minus, is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases. Crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up.

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

Quarry Run, also called pit run, is raw rock straight from the pit or quarry face. Use it to build up soft ground and raise grade before a graded base goes on top.

Drain Rock, or 1 1/2 clean, is washed and open so water moves through it instead of sitting. It goes in French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Washed Sand beds pipe, levels under slabs and flatwork, and mixes into concrete. Washed so it drains instead of holding water.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Walterville

What gravel is best for a driveway in Walterville?

Use 3/4 minus. It is crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under tires instead of rolling.

A clean, open stone will not knit together and will shift underfoot. Lay 3/4 minus as your drive surface or as the base under one, and keep clean stone for the drainage work.
