Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Buellton, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Buellton, CA from California Rock Supply. Buy online by the ton or yard, pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck drops the load at your site. Start with Class 2 base, the standard California base material for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs.

Soils here change fast. Sandy ground near the shoreline drains quickly, while heavy clay in the Coast Range valleys swells when wet and cracks when dry. That clay decides how your base performs.

Ground and Conditions in Buellton

A thin base fails first at the edges. Clay soil swells under winter rain, the bedding layer shifts, and pavers rock or crack along the border. Fix it with proper depth and compaction, not a thicker sand layer.

Most rain arrives from late fall to spring, often in a few large storms. Water soaks into sandy ground fast but sits on clay and runs off slopes. Winter rain and saturated clay hold jobs up, so plan base, driveway and paver work for the dry season from late spring into fall.

Hillside runoff and slides are the winter risk on steep slopes, and storm runoff scours creek banks and culvert outlets. Armor those spots with rip rap, also called rock slope protection, before the first big storm.

Materials for Buellton Projects

Pavers and flatwork live or fail on the bedding layer. Build the subgrade with Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, compacted in lifts. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Then bed the pavers in washed sand, also called concrete sand, screeded flat and even.

For the joints, mason sand, also called masonry sand, sweeps in tight and locks the units together. For a patio surround or a path, Stone Screenings, also called DG, packs firm and holds a clean edge.

• Class 2 Base for the compacted layer under pavers, slabs and driveways.
• Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs and pavers.
• Mason Sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.
• Stone Screenings for paths, patios and low-water ground cover.
• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and drainage behind retaining walls.

Recycled base rock, also called recycled Class 2 base, does the same job under drives, patios and slabs. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Some suppliers call it crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB.

For a drive surface, driveway gravel tops a compacted base. Walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish. For planting, topsoil rebuilds lawn and bed areas over clay, and shredded mulch holds moisture through the long dry season.
