Drain Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Apple Valley, CA

How do you keep water moving on ground that sheds it fast and then floods? That question drives most orders for gravel and aggregate delivery in Apple Valley, CA. California Rock Supply delivers bulk material by the ton, from Class 2 base for drives and pads to washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Most ground here is sandy and gravelly alluvial fan, so water moves quickly until it hits a hard layer or a low spot. Drainage stone and the right base under it solve most of it.

Materials for Apple Valley Projects

Drainage is the job here, so start with the washed stone and work down to the fine material. Sizes are listed coarsest to finest so you can match the stone to the trench, drain or pad.

• RipRap, also called rock slope protection, armors slope toes, washes and culvert outlets where storm runoff scours bare ground.
• #4 Crushed Stone goes into trench bottoms and heavy drainage where you need open voids and strength.
• 3/4" Drain Rock is the standard washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. No fines, so water passes straight through.
• Drain Rock handles the same work behind retaining walls and in drywells, sized to your pipe and trench.
• Washed Sand beds and levels pipe runs and finishes the top of a backfilled trench.

For the structure under a driveway or pad, Class 2 Base is the local standard, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job when you want to keep material out of the landfill.

Ground and Conditions in Apple Valley

Time your order around the working season. Spring and fall give the mildest temperatures for trenching and compacting, while summer heat and late-summer storms slow outdoor work.

The ground is mostly sandy and gravelly on alluvial fans and washes, which drains fast. That is good news for a drainage layer and bad news for holding a slope or an unpaved surface in place when wind picks up.

Rain arrives in short, intense bursts. Water pours off bare rock and fans into washes and across road crossings, so plan drainage and riprap before the storms, not after.

Compaction matters more than depth guessing on sandy ground. Wet the lift, compact it in layers, and let Class 2 base lock up before you surface over it.
