How much pea gravel you need in Tigard

Start with a rough sketch of the area with its length and width in feet. Depth in inches is the third number. Multiply the three together, divide by 324, and the result is cubic yards. At roughly 2,800 pounds to the cubic yard, one ton fills a bit under three-quarters of a yard.

Take a 12 by 16 foot bed at 1.5 inches deep. That works out to about 0.89 cubic yards, or about 1.25 tons. A 2 ton order would give that bed a generous margin, since loose stone packs down and drifts a little as the months pass. The calculator on the pea gravel page does the arithmetic for you if you enter the dimensions there.

For local ordering details, see delivery in Tigard. Settle the drop spot and access before the order goes in. A driveway apron, side yard or lot corner works when the truck can get in and out without backing across the lawn. The gate or side path also has to be wide enough to move the stone by wheelbarrow.

Winter in the Portland area is rainy, and spreading stone in mud is slower than working on firm ground. Watch the forecast before you pick a day.

Common uses and pairings in Tigard

For a French drain, the stone surrounds a perforated pipe in a trench lined with fabric, and the fabric keeps soil from clogging the gaps between stones. A bench or a pair of chairs under a tree also does well on a gravel pad, and the pad is quiet underfoot.

Pea gravel is most often used for garden walks, patio edges, French drains, dog runs and the topping on planting beds. Its smooth faces make it friendly to walk on, and it spreads evenly when raked. Loose stone follows gravity, so a bed on a grade needs a border across its lowest edge.

Premium Screened Topsoil suits raised beds and lawn patches and is sold by the ton. Mulch for shrub beds is priced by the cubic yard, so keep those quantities apart from the gravel.

Choosing the look for a Tigard yard

When the load is down, shovel it outward from the pile in even layers and push a ruler into the stone now and then to check the depth against your plan.

The tan and mixed blend sits comfortably beside brick, wood and gray concrete, so it rarely clashes with the materials already on a property. Because the pieces are small, they fill the gaps around pavers, stepping stones and the edge of a walk without looking heavy.

Scale matters too. Larger decorative rock makes a bold statement in a wide bed, while this smaller size reads softer and works in tighter spaces such as a narrow side strip or a path between two planting beds. Decide on the look first, then size the order from the measurements.

About Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is a rounded stone in the 1/4 to 3/8 inch range, with a tan and mixed color. Its smooth faces make it a friendly surface for walking and playing, and it spreads evenly when raked.

Pea gravel is inert. It does not decompose, feed weeds or hold moisture the way soil and bark do, so a bed keeps its profile with light maintenance. Between larger refreshes, the look holds with little attention.

Pea gravel for Tigard is sold by the ton. Because it is heavier per cubic yard than mulch, the same space takes a different order size, and the tonnage on the order page reflects that. Check the size and color on the product page before a large order.

Right behind that is walkway gravel, common in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Tigard sits at about 57,301 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
