Start with the numbers before you start with the rock. For gravel and aggregate delivery in Aliso Viejo, CA, measure the area, decide the depth, and convert that to tons so the load matches the job. California Rock Supply sells fill dirt, Class 2 base and landscape material by the ton and delivers across Orange County.

Most projects here begin with raising grade or building a pad, then capping it with Class 2 base. Get the fill and the base right and everything above them stays put.

Materials for Aliso Viejo Projects

This is fill and sub-base country. Aliso Viejo lots often need grade brought up before anything gets paved, planted or built on, so the order usually starts with structural fill and finishes with a compacted base.

Match the material to the job:

• Fill Dirt raises grade, backfills and builds up pads before base goes down. It is the first load on most sites.
• Class 2 Base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is the Caltrans-specified material under driveways, parking pads, pavers and slabs. Compact it in lifts and it locks up hard.
• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted Class 2 base.
• Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Clean stone lets water move instead of ponding.
• Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios laid over a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Aliso Viejo

Local ground runs from Top Soil to clay, and the clay is expansive. It swells when it gets wet and shrinks and cracks when it dries, which is rough on anything built directly on it.

That is why depth matters more than material brand. On expansive clay, you dig out soft spots, bring grade up with fill, then compact Class 2 base in lifts to bridge the movement below.

Rain here arrives in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. Water sheets off hardscape and hard dry ground fast, so drainage layers and slope armoring have to be sized for the storm, not the average day.

Winter also brings hillside runoff and slope failures, and debris flows where the first heavy storms hit burned hillsides and canyons. Rip rap and cobble slow that runoff at culvert outlets and creek banks.

The long warm dry season suits base and paver work most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so plan the pour and compaction days around them.

Order online and pick your quantity. Bulk material sells by the ton, so work out area times depth, then convert. A rough conversion is about 1.4 tons of base per cubic yard, but check the figure against your own plan.

Aliso Viejo sits in Orange County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Irvine, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove and Huntington Beach. Trucks need clear access and a safe spot to dump.

Tell us where the pile goes before the truck arrives. Driveway, street or side yard all work if the driver can reach it and the load can be placed without blocking anyone in.

Questions from Aliso Viejo Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Aliso Viejo?

Class 2 base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard choice. It is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it compacts hard and drains reasonably. Excavate the expansive clay, bring grade up with fill if needed, then place Class 2 base in lifts and compact each one before the bedding sand and pavers go down.
