Gravel gravel delivery
Homeowner’s Issue
Gravel yards around here face Pacific Northwest realities: frequent rain, compacted clay subsoil, moss growth, and shaded corners that never quite dry. Slopes and run-off near streets or driveways can wash fines away, creating bare patches and rutting. Homeowners in Gravel often want better drainage, easier maintenance, and improved curb appeal without adding hard surfaces that increase runoff.
Small yards and narrow access common to West Seattle and Beacon Hill-style lots make delivery and placement a coordination task. We see weed pressure from persistent bindweed and ivy, plus soil compaction from foot and vehicle traffic. Homeowners also want solutions that survive Seattle-style winters and summer dry spells, minimize ongoing upkeep, and avoid chemicals. That’s why sustainable gravel installations—proper base prep, geotextile fabric, correct stone size, and edge containment—are the most practical choice for Gravel properties. They reduce mud, improve traction, and give a clean look while allowing water to soak in where it belongs.
Our Quality Service
We deliver and place gravel with an eye for local conditions. We evaluate slope, soil type, drainage patterns, and sun exposure before choosing stone size and depth. Work includes grading, compacting where needed, and installing geotextile fabric on sites prone to mixing and weed intrusion.
We use only sustainable, non-chemical methods for weed control and stabilization. Benefits include improved safety on slippery slopes, boosted curb appeal, lower long-term maintenance, and lasting drainage performance.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and material recommendation
- Delivery of specified gravel to your location

- Organic, mechanical weed control and spot removal
- Haul-away vs. green bin disposal for old debris
Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise and truck activity on service day and a short staging period for unloading. We may need clear access and a short-term parking space for the truck; narrow driveways can require hand-placement. You’ll see some dust and loose stone immediately after work—this settles with a light rake and a rain or two.
Care tips for Gravel yards:
- Rake to redistribute fines once or twice a year.
- Top up high-traffic areas annually.
- Remove moss and weeds by hand or with organic, mechanical methods.
- Keep gutters and nearby drains clear to prevent washouts.
FAQs
How long does a typical job take?
Small driveway or pathway deliveries and placement often finish in a day; more complex grading or stabilization may take 1–3 days depending on access.
Do you use herbicides for weed control?
No. We use sustainable, non-chemical practices: hand removal, mulching, and physical barriers like fabric.
Will gravel wash away on a slope?
If untreated, yes. We recommend proper base prep, edging, and fabric to reduce movement and improve drainage on slopes.
Do I need a permit?
Most gravel deliveries don’t require permits, but steep driveways or public right-of-way work may—ask us during the estimate.
