What Corliss Resources Inc 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.

Screened topsoil is the workhorse material for new lawns, raised beds and regrading work. Yards typically screen to ½" or ⅜" to pull out rocks, roots and clods, and many sell blended mixes that cut native soil with compost or sand to improve structure and drainage.

Because Corliss Resources Inc carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

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.

Best time to buy in Washington

Demand for sand and gravel peaks from spring through early summer across Washington, 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.
