Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Aromas, CA

If you are building or rebuilding a driveway in Aromas, gravel and aggregate delivery in Aromas, CA starts with the base. California Rock Supply sells Class 2 base, the standard California base material, along with the surfacing stone, sand and soil that go with it.

Soils here change over short distances, from sandy ground to heavy clay, so the base you order should match what is under it. Order online and we deliver to your site.

Materials for Aromas Projects

Driveways and parking pads are the bulk of the work here, and they start with base. Class 2 base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. You compact it in lifts to build the load-bearing layer under a drive, a paver patio or a slab.

For the surface, Driveway Gravel goes over a compacted base or freshens an existing drive. If the drive only needs a binding, compacting layer and you want a single material, Crusher Run does that job.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Drain Rock is clean stone with no fines, so it moves water in French drains and drainage trenches. Drain Rock covers drywells, downspout runs and the drainage layer behind a retaining wall.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Top Soil builds up lawns and beds over clay or hardpan. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through the long dry season.

Ground and Conditions in Aromas

Most of the rain here falls from late fall to spring, often in a few big winter storms and atmospheric rivers. Where the ground is sandy, that water soaks in fast. On clay it sits and runs off, and clay soils in the Coast Range valleys swell when wet and crack when dry.

That difference drives your base depth and your drainage. On clay, cut deeper, compact Class 2 base in lifts, and give the edges somewhere for water to go, usually a drain rock layer. On sand, watch that the base does not pump or migrate.

Erosion is the other winter issue. Steep hillside runoff moves soil, and culvert outlets and creek banks take the hit first. RipRap and cobble armor those spots, while river rock and large river rock slow runoff in dry creek beds and swales.

Timing matters. The dry season from late spring into fall is the window for base, driveway and paver work. Summer fog near the shore is not a problem, but winter rain and saturated clay will hold a job up.

Order online and pick your material by the ton or the cubic yard. Bulk material arrives in a dump truck and is tipped on site, so have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck shows up.

Know where you want the pile. Place it close to the work but off the finished grade, and keep it out of any drainage path you have already cut. If the drive is tight or soft, say so when you order and plan for where the truck can turn around.
