Mason Sand for Patios in Canby, CA

California Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Canby, CA, from Class 2 base to bedding sand for flatwork. Local ground is mostly thin and rocky, so what you put under a patio matters as much as the pavers. Order online by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Ground and Conditions in Canby

Thin, rocky ground is the norm around Canby, with coarse sandy spots where granite has weathered. Cut a patio pad into that and the subgrade moves. A shallow base layer ravels at the edges and settles unevenly under the first wet winter.

The fix is a compacted Class 2 base with enough depth to bridge soft spots, plus drainage that carries water away from the pad. Winter storms and snowmelt keep ground wet into spring, and water collects where pads cut across a slope.

Freeze-thaw is a real design factor here. Freezing nights are routine through winter, and frost depth is set by the local building department, 18 to 24 inches in mountain towns. Plan flatwork around the late spring to fall window, since frozen or saturated ground stops base work.

Materials for Canby Projects

Bedding material under pavers and flatwork is where most patio jobs start. Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Compact it, then bed the pavers on sand.

For the bedding layer itself, washed sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Mason sand, also called masonry sand, packs into paver joints and works for brick and block. Gravel sand is a coarser sand and fine gravel blend for leveling and bedding.

On top, Stone Screenings, also called DG, gives paths and patios a firm-packing surface laid over a compacted base. For drainage around the pad, 3/4 inch drain rock and drain rock are clean stone with no fines, so water moves through instead of pooling at the edge.

Recycled base rock, also called recycled Class 2 base, is Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt and works the same way under drives and patios. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before the base goes down.
