What Type of Gravel Do You Need?

Choosing the right gravel depends on your project. Here's a quick breakdown of the most common types we carry:

Crushed Rock (Road Base / Drain Rock)

The most versatile gravel for Gig Harbor homeowners. Use it for:

  • Driveways and parking areas
  • Trench backfill
  • French drains and drainage swales
  • Base material under patios and walkways

Crushed rock compacts firmly, which makes it ideal anywhere you need a stable base or good drainage.

Pea Gravel

Smooth, rounded, and easy to walk on. Best for:

  • Pathways and garden walkways
  • Sandbox fill
  • Decorative ground cover
  • Dog runs and pet areas

Pea gravel doesn't compact like crushed rock, so it's not suitable for driveways — but it's perfect for decorative and low-traffic applications.

River Rock (Large Decorative Stone)

River rocks are smooth, rounded stones in sizes from 1" to 4"+. Common uses:

  • Dry creek beds for drainage
  • Decorative borders and beds
  • Erosion control on slopes
  • Water features

How Much Gravel Do You Need?

Use our material calculator to get an accurate estimate before you call.

Quick rule of thumb:

  • 1 cubic yard covers approximately 100 sq ft at 3 inches deep
  • A standard driveway (10' × 50') at 4" depth = ~6 cubic yards
  • A French drain trench (50' long, 12" wide, 12" deep) = ~2 cubic yards

Gravel for Drainage Problems in Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor's clay-heavy soil and wet winters create real drainage challenges. Gravel is one of the most effective solutions for:

Standing water in the yard: A French drain or dry creek bed filled with drain rock redirects water away from your foundation or low spots. Typically you'll need a 4"–6" layer of ¾" crushed rock in the trench.

Muddy driveway: Crushed rock or road base compacted to 4" depth solves muddy, rutted driveways. Many Gig Harbor homes with gravel driveways top up with 1–2 yards every 2–3 years.

Soggy garden beds: Mixing gravel into heavy clay soil improves drainage. A layer of pea gravel on top as a mulch alternative keeps roots from sitting in water.

Gravel + Hardscape Projects

Planning a patio, walkway, or retaining wall? Gravel is a critical base layer. For hardscape projects, pair crushed rock base with:

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does gravel delivery cost in Gig Harbor?

Pricing depends on material type and quantity. Call 253-857-5125 for a current quote. We price by the cubic yard with no minimums — order exactly what you need.

Can you deliver to a backyard or tight access area?

We can deliver to most locations accessible by truck. If you have a narrow driveway or gate, let us know when you call and we'll confirm whether our truck can reach your spot.

How long does delivery take?

Same-day delivery is available when ordered before noon. Otherwise, we typically deliver within 1–2 business days.

What's the difference between crushed rock and pea gravel?

Crushed rock has angular edges that lock together when compacted — ideal for driveways, drainage, and bases. Pea gravel is smooth and rounded — it won't compact, so it's better for decorative paths, play areas, and dog runs.

Do you offer just one yard of gravel?

Yes. No minimum order. You can order 1 yard or 20 yards — we deliver whatever you need.
