3/4 Inch Crushed Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Boulder Creek, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Boulder Creek, CA, by the ton. Most jobs here start with Class 2 base, the standard California base material, under drives, pads and pavers. Along the shore you hit sandy ground that drains fast. Inland, heavy clay sits and holds water after a storm.

That split decides what you order. Wet ground needs a place for water to go before anything else gets built.

Materials for Boulder Creek Projects

Drainage drives most of the material choices here. Winter rain arrives in a few big storms, so water has to move. We stock the washed stone that does that work, plus the base and surface materials that go over it.

Washed stone has no fines, so water runs straight through it. Sizes run from coarse to fine.

For a drywell or a downspout run, 3/4" Drain Rock is the usual pick. It is clean, angular and graded so it will not pack tight. Line the trench, wrap it in filter fabric, and water has somewhere to sit while it soaks away.

Behind a retaining wall, Drain Rock does the same job. It gives the wall a free-draining backfill instead of letting clay soil push against it all winter.

Where the drainage stone meets a surface, 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pipes and tops a compacted base. It is small enough to level out under pavers without leaving a spongy feel.

Under all of it sits Class 2 Base, the material Caltrans specifies as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same work for a drive or pad.

For the finished surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base, and Stone Screenings packs firm for paths and patios. RipRap armors slope and creek bank edges where storm runoff cuts in.

Ground and Conditions in Boulder Creek

Plan the work around the dry season. Late spring into fall is the window for base, driveway and paver jobs. Summer fog near the shore does not stop a pour. Winter rain and saturated clay do.

Soils change fast across this county. Sandy ground near the shoreline takes water quickly. The heavy clay in the Coast Range valleys and hills cracks when dry and swells when wet, and it holds a storm until the whole slope is loaded.

On clay, dig deeper and compact in lifts. A thin base over wet clay will pump and rut the first time a loaded truck crosses it. A drainage layer under the base gives the water a path out instead of a place to sit.

On slopes, winter storms bring runoff and slides. Armor culvert outlets and creek banks with RipRap so fast water hits rock, not bare soil. Intense rain on recently burned ground moves debris, so plan for that above the work area.

Delivery to Boulder Creek and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your material by the ton or by the yard. Bulk delivery to a site in Boulder Creek is a dump truck that backs in and spreads as it tips, so a clear, firm access lane matters more than a long one.

We deliver across Santa Cruz County, including Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Scotts Valley, Soquel and Capitola. Lead time depends on material and truck routing, so confirm the date before you schedule a crew.

Measure the area and work out the depth you need. Base usually goes in at a minimum depth of 2 inches per lift, compacted, and drainage trenches are sized to the water they carry.
