What Highbanks Sand and Gravel supplies

Aggregate yards carry crushed stone, pea gravel, road base, mason sand, concrete sand and structural fill. Material is graded by particle size, and the correct grade depends entirely on whether you are building a compacted base, a drainage layer or a walking surface.

Road base (often called crusher run or 21AA) compacts hard and is the right choice under pavers or driveways. Clean washed stone such as #57 drains freely and is used for French drains and trench backfill. Pea gravel looks good underfoot but migrates and needs edging to stay put.

How much material you need

Sand and gravel is sold by the ton. Aggregate is sold by weight, not volume — one cubic yard of crushed stone runs roughly 1.4 tons.

As a rough guide: 1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at 2 in; 5 tons covers about 500 sq ft at 2 in; 20 tons covers about 2,000 sq ft at 2 in.

Order slightly over rather than under. Coming up short means a second delivery charge, which almost always costs more than the extra material would have.

Ordering and delivery

Delivery pricing usually keys off distance from the yard, so confirm both the charge to your address and any minimum load before comparing quotes.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 5 reviews on file, 3 are five-star (60%) and 1 are four-star. 1 review sits at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across Oregon, this rating places Highbanks Sand and Gravel in the top 82%.

Across the 7 suppliers we list in Central Point, the average rating is 4.2.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.2 drawn from 5 reviews rests on a small sample, so weigh it accordingly.

Hours and visiting the yard

Highbanks Sand and Gravel is open 5 days a week, closed Saturday and Sunday. The yard opens as early as 7 AM and runs until 4 PM, early enough to load before a normal work day begins.

The yard is closed on Saturdays, so weekend work needs material ordered and delivered before Friday close.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Oregon

Demand for sand and gravel peaks from spring through early summer across Oregon, when yards run their longest queues and hold firmest on price. Late summer and autumn typically bring shorter waits and more negotiating room, particularly on larger loads. If your project timing is flexible, buying outside the spring rush is the single easiest way to reduce the delivered cost.

Pricing the same material at two or three yards is usually worth the phone calls. Bulk rates move with stock on hand, and delivery radius often decides which supplier is genuinely cheapest to your address.
