What We Deliver in Kent
We haul crushed stone, gravel, sand, topsoil, crushed concrete, asphalt millings and road base into the Kent area, plus mulch for beds and landscaping. Nine of the ten materials on this page move by the ton, weighed on the truck before it leaves the yard. Mulch is the lone cubic yard product on the list, measured a different way from everything else here.
Gravel Delivery Coverage Across the Kent Area
Trucks run a 35 mile radius out of the Kent delivery zone, reaching Federal Way about 6 miles away, Renton at roughly 7 miles, Bellevue near 12 miles, Redmond around 21 miles and into Seattle itself at about 16 miles. Most orders are scheduled and on site within 24 to 48 hours of booking, whether the load is headed to a house on a quiet street or a crew already on a job.
Materials Homeowners and Contractors Order Most
#57 Crushed Stone is a uniform, angular stone that compacts and drains well under patios, French drains and gravel driveways. It is one of the more requested aggregates we haul into Kent. See it on the 57 Crushed Stone page.
Pea Gravel is small, smooth and rounded, easy to spread by hand for walkways, play areas and pond edging. Check sizes on the Pea Gravel page.
River Rock is larger and rounded, used for dry creek beds, drainage swales and borders that need to hold their shape in a bed. Browse River Rock sizes available to Kent.
Premium Screened Topsoil is screened clean of rock and debris, ready for new lawns, raised beds and grading. More on the Premium Screened Topsoil page.
Mulch tops beds, tree rings and play areas and holds moisture through dry stretches of the growing season. See coverage on the Mulch page.
Crushed Concrete makes a compactable base for driveways, parking pads and equipment yards at a lower cost than virgin stone. Read more on the Crushed Concrete page.
Asphalt Millings roll and compact into a firm dark surface for rural driveways, access roads and overflow parking. See the Asphalt Millings page.
Road Base blends crushed stone and fines into a dense layer built to carry weight under driveways and patios. Specs are on the Road Base page.
Driveway Gravel is graded to shed water and hold up under vehicle traffic, a common reorder for an aging drive. The Driveway Gravel page has the full rundown.
Walkway Gravel is a smaller, finer stone sized for paths and garden beds where comfort underfoot matters more than load bearing. The Walkway Gravel page has sizing options.
Minimum Load and Where We Place It
The smallest order we schedule is two units of the material you choose, two tons for a ton product such as stone or road base, two cubic yards for mulch. Below that amount, bagged product from a local store usually makes more sense than a bulk delivery. When the truck arrives, the driver places the load where it can reach safely, a driveway apron, a curb strip or open ground close to where you are working. Contractors ordering for a full driveway or grading job commonly ask for more than the two unit minimum.
Weather, Soil and Site Conditions in Kent
Kent sits low and relatively flat compared with the hills around Seattle and Bellevue, which makes truck access to most driveways straightforward. Fall and winter bring long stretches of steady rain typical of the Puget Sound region, so a load left uncovered on bare ground can turn soft before you get to spreading it. Native soil here leans toward heavy clay and glacial till, which drains slowly, a reason many homeowners bring in stone or gravel rather than relying on what is already under the lawn.

How does gravel delivery in Kent, WA get priced?
Pricing is based on the material, the amount you order and your delivery ZIP, since trucking distance and local conditions change the delivered cost. Enter your address at checkout and the exact price is calculated before you confirm the order. There is no flat rate quoted here because it depends on where in the Kent area the load is headed and how far the truck has to travel from the yard.
What is the smallest amount you will deliver to Kent?
The minimum order is two units of whichever material you choose, two tons for stone, gravel, topsoil or the other ton priced products, or two cubic yards if you are ordering mulch. Smaller amounts than that are usually cheaper to pick up in bags from a local store. Two units is enough for a small patio base, a garden bed refresh or a short stretch of walkway.
How far from Kent does delivery reach?
Trucks run a 35 mile radius out of the Kent delivery zone, which comfortably covers Federal Way, Renton, Bellevue and Redmond, and reaches into Seattle as well. If your address falls inside that radius, delivery should be available. Addresses right at the edge of the zone are worth checking directly since travel time factors into scheduling.
How long does it take for a load to arrive?
Most orders placed for the Kent area are scheduled and delivered within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Exact timing depends on truck availability and how far your address sits from the yard. Placing the order earlier in the week generally gives more flexibility on the delivery window than a last minute weekend request.
Which materials are sold by the ton and which by the cubic yard?
Crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock, topsoil, crushed concrete, asphalt millings, road base, driveway gravel and walkway gravel each sell by the ton. Mulch is the only product on this list priced by the cubic yard instead. Knowing the unit in advance matters because a ton and a cubic yard are not interchangeable quantities when you are ordering.
Can I get gravel delivered to a job site outside Kent city limits?
Yes. The 35 mile radius out of Kent covers a lot of unincorporated King County ground as well as neighboring cities like Federal Way and Renton. Contractors working multiple job sites across that area often schedule several drops in the same week. If you are not sure whether a specific address qualifies, submit it and the system will confirm before you pay.
Do you deliver to a home driveway or only to contractor job sites?
Both. The same delivery service that supplies contractor job sites also delivers to home driveways, backyards and side yards, as long as the truck has a clear path to reach the drop spot. Homeowners refreshing a garden bed order the same way a contractor books a full load, just usually at the two unit minimum instead of a larger quantity.
Does Kent's rain affect how gravel or mulch should be handled after delivery?
Rain is common through fall and winter in this part of Washington, so material left piled on bare ground for a long stretch can get soft or muddy at the base. Spreading or using the load within a reasonable window after it arrives keeps it easier to work with. Mulch in particular holds water, which is useful for beds but means a wet pile is heavier to move by the time you get to it.
