Your High Quality Rock & Aggregate Partner in Kent
If you are running a job site, building a structural pad, or refreshing a driveway in Tumwater, your budget is heavily dictated by material costs. Buying retail rock means paying for multiple markups and transportation fees before the gravel ever reaches your truck.
Brumfield Construction cuts out the middleman by providing high-density rock directly from our regional quarry operations. By sourcing your materials directly from the producer, you get industrial-grade quality at a fraction of retail prices.
Direct From the Quarry: The Strict Pickup Model
To maintain the lowest possible gate prices in the Pacific Northwest, Brumfield Construction operates on a highly efficient material supply model.
Brumfield Construction does not provide an aggregate delivery service. All material sales are strictly Onsite Pickup Only. Whether you are a commercial hauler with a fleet of side dumps or a homeowner with a utility trailer, you must bring your own vehicle to haul your material.
To make sure your trip goes smoothly, you can view map directions and check current operating hours for our closest pick-up location.
Spec-Grade Aggregate for Every Project Scale
Brumfield Construction produces rock that is built to withstand heavy load capacities and severe Pacific Northwest wet weather cycles. Our materials are screened and processed to meet strict municipal and WSDOT specifications.
1. Crushed Minus Aggregates (Compaction Rock)
Minus rock contains a specific blend of clean stone and fine rock dust. The fines act like a binding agent, filling the voids between the larger stones when compacted.
- 5/8” Minus: The industry standard for driveway top coatings, walking paths, and parking areas. It packs down into a tight, smooth, walkable surface.
- 1-1/4” Minus: Ideal for structural base layers, heavy-traffic construction roads, and sub-base stability beneath concrete pours.
2. Clean Crushed Rock (Drainage Rock)
Clean rock has been thoroughly washed or screened to remove all dust and fines. Without fine particles to bind the material, water flows freely through the gaps.
- 3/4” Clean: The premier choice for French drains, backfilling behind retaining walls, and surrounding underground drainage pipes.
- 1-1/2” to 2” Clean: Used for heavy-duty tracking pads at construction entrances to clean mud off truck tires before they enter Tumwater roadways.
3. Specialty Pit Materials
- Quarry Spalls & Riprap: Large, heavy stones designed for severe erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and soft-ground stabilization.
- Bedding Sand & Sieve-Tested Structural Fill: Specially engineered for wrapping utility lines and backfilling deep pipeline trenches safely.
Tips for a Smooth Pickup
Following a few simple guidelines ensures you get loaded safely and efficiently:
- Know Your Weight Limits: Crushed rock is heavy. One cubic yard of crushed rock weighs roughly 2,800 lbs (1.4 tons). Ensure your truck, dump trailer, or commercial vehicle is rated to handle the weight before pulling onto the scale.
- Determine Your Tonnage: Calculate your project dimensions (Length x Width x Depth) ahead of time. If you are not sure how those measurements translate to weight, you can use our simple breakdown to figure out how many tons of rock you need before hooking up your trailer.
- Safety First: All visitors picking up material must follow pit safety protocols. Stay inside your vehicle cab unless instructed otherwise by the scale house or loader operator.
Maximize Your Project Budget at the Source
Whether you are sourcing material for a driveway, drainage system, construction pad, or erosion control project, choosing the right rock makes a major difference in performance and cost. Brumfield Construction gives contractors, landscapers, and homeowners direct access to spec-grade rock without the added retail markup.
With onsite pickup only, simple loading procedures, and material options designed for everything from compaction to drainage, getting the right product is straightforward. Plan your tonnage, confirm your vehicle can handle the weight, and head to the yard with confidence knowing you are getting durable material built for Pacific Northwest conditions.
