Wilsonville, OR Rock, Gravel and Soil Delivery

Wilsonville, OR Rock, Gravel and Soil Delivery

Wilsonville is a mid-size city in Clackamas County. Oregon Rock Supply provides bulk materials for raising low areas, backfilling around completed work and building up a stable pad before the next phase of a project. Start with the finished grade, measure the area and account for the depth needed before selecting material.

Wilsonville base rock, fines and drainage material

For a compacted pad or driveway foundation, use 3/4 Minus, also called 3/4 inch minus, dense grade or crushed base. For finish layers, paths and joint fill, 1/4 Minus creates a tighter surface when spread and compacted. Drain Rock keeps open space around drainage work where water needs a route through the stone.

Build up low ground in controlled lifts instead of placing the entire depth at once. Compact each lift before adding the next one, especially under a shed pad, driveway extension or other surface that needs to stay level. A base layer around 4 to 6 inches deep suits many light-use projects, while heavier traffic and soft ground call for a design suited to the load and site conditions.

Clackamas County ground, frost and drainage planning

Oregon's statewide frost-depth guide is 12 inches. Treat that figure as a statewide reference rather than a site-specific requirement, and confirm depth and construction requirements with the local building department before work begins.

From November through April, clay in the Willamette Valley holds water and stays saturated. A driveway placed over wet clay without a draining base can develop ruts by January. Separate the soil from the rock where the project calls for it, establish the intended grade first, then place a draining layer or compacted base suited to the job.

Drain Rock is sold as 3/4 clean and 1 1/2 clean. Use it where water must move through the stone rather than where you need a tightly compacted driving surface. For a firm finished surface, use dense-graded 3/4 Minus below the top layer and compact it in lifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Wilsonville, OR

What is the difference between 3/4 Minus and Drain Rock?

3/4 Minus contains graded material from 3/4 inch down to 0, which lets it lock together under compaction. Drain Rock is clean stone, sold as 3/4 clean or 1 1/2 clean, with open spaces for water movement. Use 3/4 Minus for a compacted base and Drain Rock for drainage work.

What should be ready before a dump truck arrives in Clackamas County?

Set the drop location before the truck reaches the property and remove cars, tools and other obstacles from the approach. Check the width of gates, drive lanes and turning areas. Keep people away from the unloading area, and make sure the receiving surface is ready for the material.

How much 3/4 Minus does a driveway or patio base need?

Measure length and width in feet, then multiply them for square footage. Multiply that area by the planned depth in feet, using inches divided by 12, to find cubic feet. Divide cubic feet by 27 for cubic yards, then use the material calculator to convert the project dimensions into an order quantity.

Which material works for a raised pad in Wilsonville?

Use 3/4 Minus for the compacted structural portion of a pad. Place it in lifts and compact each lift before adding more material. If the pad needs drainage below or around it, use Drain Rock where the design calls for water to pass through the layer.
