Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Citrus Heights, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Citrus Heights, CA the simple way. California Rock Supply sells by the ton or the yard online, and a dump truck drops the load where you need it. Start your driveway or pad with Class 2 base, the standard California base material, then finish it with driveway gravel.

Citrus Heights sits on deep valley alluvium in Sacramento County. That ground is heavy clay, so a compacted base does the work your driveway needs.

Materials for Citrus Heights Projects

Base comes first. Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, is the specified California base material for drives, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base, and it compacts hard and holds its shape.

Build the drive in two parts. Put Class 2 base down as the structural layer, compact it, then cap it with Driveway Gravel for the surface you drive on. That pairing handles the traffic and keeps the top layer from rutting.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Drain Rock, also called #57 stone, is clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it in french drains and drainage trenches. Use Drain Rock for drywells, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, while Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs. For lawns and beds, Top Soil builds up planting areas over the clay.

Ground and Conditions in Citrus Heights

Rain arrives from late fall to spring, in winter storms and atmospheric rivers. On flat clay and hardpan, that water has nowhere to go. It ponds.

Plan drainage in from the start, not after the first wet season. A clean stone layer under and beside a driveway gives water a path out, and drain rock in a trench carries it away from the slab.

Hardpan a few feet down stops water moving deeper, so perched water sits above it. Build your base on compacted, drained ground and it stays put.

Summer is the working window. The long, hot, dry season from late spring into fall suits grading and compaction. Winter rain leaves clay soft and sticky and stops jobs, and dense tule fog can slow early starts.
